48" Grapple, Which One???

[gumshu]

My Markham/Gator/North American Implements 48" is decent overall, but I had major problem with the fit on my SSQA as it would pop off since the mount was not quite designed correctly to fit all minor variations of the SSQA mount. Once I got that fixed, I have been very happy with it. Customer service on that issue was not great. I have no idea how they are now as NAI. I got mine during the Gator phase of ownership.

Really? That's too bad. I guess it happens. My fit was perfect first time around, but then again, it was purchased just a few months ago from NAI.

I've had my wildcat econo since June and I love it. Moved more logs and brush than I ever thought I would. I keep finding opportunities to use it. You know it's very good for stimulating airflow in compost piles. One small complaint I wish it opened further would make it easier to grab larger piles of brush..

As for the Wildkat price, website always said $900. call and you can deal with Anita.

I placed my order today for the 48" Wildkat grapple. I had it configured for the JD quick disconnect FEL and hydraulic connections for my set up. Yes it does have grease zirks on the moving parts. It will take a week or so to arrive on the west coast.

Zerks? Mine doesn't- Bought it around first of year-in any case I'm not worried about lack of fittings in my lifetime!

I like my Wild Kat grapple. It does not have grease fittings. When I bought in January it was by far the best value for me. Even if the top tube fails at some point I can have it fixed and still be money ahead. Now if there has been a major price increase it may no longer be the best value. After having a grapple I can give you one piece of advice any grapple is better than no grapple
