Why do they cut so many holes from the steel ? Looks like it would weaken the lower grapple. I know it takes some of the weight off but if the tractor can't handle the extra twenty or so pounds they removed it is too large for the machine. For a 72" grapple one would need the weight and power of an 80 hp tractor. Less than 55hp would severely limit production.
Shipping the steel is going to be costly. The real gain for the kit is the water jet cut arched pieces which could be ordered locally. I don't think production figures will be very high for these kits.
