I'm really interested in as much info as folks can provide regarding grapple rakes. I have a tree service in northern NY and just bought a NH 2310 for the business. I had the dealership install and run plumbing for a third function valve, in anticipation of a grapple rake. There seems to be a huge price diff. in them though. I've looked at the bradco 72" grapple rake and like it really well. It goes for about $2,500.00 though. Virnig offers one for $1,500 in the 72" configuration, but I don't like it as well as the bradco. Any input would be great. I'm primarily looking to haul logs and big piles of brush with it, loading them into my dump trailer. Thanks for your time.
