I always have a fair amount of small limbs and litter to move. For a long time, I have wanted an American Solutions Grapple for the FEL (BX2200), but American Solutions has never replied to any of the e-mails or phone messages I have left every now and then over the past year. I do have a Markham toothbar and had thought it coupled with the grapple would make a good combo for getting a big mouthful of brush at a time.
More and more I have been thinking that debris forks might be better anyway. Though the grapple would be useful in chomping down on a big debris pile, I don't really have any huge rocks or trees to grab with it, and I do have a thumb on the Woods backhoe. The debris forks are cheaper, don't require installation work/costs, and also don't require replumbing the hydraulics. I figure storage space isn't that much for either and would be a wash in comparing the two.
My first question is whether anybody knows what's up with American Solutions. It seems like a year or more since anyone's posted on here about getting one of their grapples for a BX.
My second question is what kinds of thoughts you guys have as to which implement is the better choice.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
