For the kind of things you will probably be doing, a grapple will probably work as well, maybe better. It will also be lighter and cheaper and can be removed easily when it might be in the way. This is based on my experience cleaning up after logging with a standard bucket and then with a grapple equipped one. I use the thing for brush, manure work, log/firewood moving, moving rocks, etc. etc. I can pick up a 14 or 16 foot log with the FEL/grapple pretty easily without disturbing the soil much although most of the stuff I carry around is less than 10 feet long just so I can get it through narrower places. The grapple lets me about double or triple the amount of manure I can pick up -- we have sheep and there is a lot of used hay/straw mixed in.
My grapple was installed by the dealer when I bought the tractor, along with a set of rear hydraulics that run off the same valve. Cost of the whole set up, including valve, lines, installation, etc. was less than $1000. The brand is Add-a-Grapple.
