I've read lots of good posts on Grapples and on 4n1's.
The attachements I think I really need to take car of my 10 acres of woods with leftover construction clearing debris for use on a Deere 4120 w/400x loader are:
1) A dedicated HD grapple (clean up the pile of stumps, some fairly large)
2) 4n1 bucket, use for grading and convienent for small trees/stumps during grading without changing attachements.
3) Landscape rake, prepare for seed
I know the 4n1 and grapple are kind of redundant, but i think if i got a 4n1 with enough jaw opening for some of the larger stuff i want to pick up, all my lift capacity will go into just lifting the bucket, lol.
Even though i'd like both, I don't want really have the budget either.
Now, I've seen some add on grapple like attachements for an existing bucket,one from ATI, which looks nice, but i don't know what it costs.

and one from Dehner welding:

Which seems quite reasonable at $320.00.
To easily pick up stumps and debris with these i would need to use in conjunction with a tooth bar or maybe some debris forks, right?
With these maybe i could get an inexpensive box blade for the grading?
Any thoughts?
