I've got a 5' AnBo Grapple that I think weighs a little over 600lbs and its tines are 3/4". The thing is built super tough but I've still bent 2 of them a little. I'd probably worry a bit about 3/8" stock although weight is an issue. My tractor's similar to yours I think and my grapple weight is definitely the max I'd want at the front. I looked online and my model's discontinued but the equivalent model uses 1/2" stock. Bigger ones still use 3/4". They do even have some using 3/8" stock but they weigh considerably less.
Joel, Mind saying what you paid for that- I found their website-sure looks heavy but I'm sure pricey?
