How much can you lift?
Hi I was loing at these two attachments and trying to weigh out which is better for my needs,I was wondering if anyone had had use of one and would like to comment.My use is basically, instead of buying a chipper, I could have one of these for less money and maint. I have a spot to put the brush to rot naturally, so it seems like a good fit.
I like the bucket as it has more of a bed to it.(considering other uses). But the rake opens wider in the Jaws.
I think it would come in real handy to hold logs as I cut them to rounds.In which case I might not neet a wide one. I have a 60 inch bucket now, but these also come in 48 inch. So im also considering the 48 inch one for the use id give it.
Any thoughts or comments are surely welcome thanks.

What size tractor will the grapple be installed on ?
1800+ lbs.
1800+ lbs.
According to tractor data you can lift 1300 lbs - the 512 lbs your grapple weighs. Too heavy imop
What data are you looking at ,Murphy? I got that info from the owners manual. I've been moving everything from telephone poles to as much brush as the grapple will hold and everything in between and have has no problems lifting anything. It struggled a little on a big stump with roots and dirt but only because I couldn't get a good grip on it. I had to carry it really low. Aside of that, this is a 72", the OP is looking at a smaller grapple and you'll be hard pressed to find one much lighter than 512 lbs.
