Anyone hear or use The Rake Shop grapple? www.TheRakeShop.com / Root Rakes Grapples Attachments & Skid Steers
Don't know what price range you are looking at but with shipping costs to Whidbey Island from Florida or the Carolina's you might check if you would be better off looking closer to home.
Anbo and Bo-dozer are both made in our state thus shipping is much less or nonexistent if you go get it yourself.

FWIW- I just sent them a nice fat check for a root grapple and a set of pallet forks. I can't attest to anything but the fact that they've been patient and great to work with thus far. My searches came up something like 99% positive. Mr Sam seems to know his biz.Anyone hear or use The Rake Shop grapple? www.TheRakeShop.com / Root Rakes Grapples Attachments & Skid Steers
Both have unusual names with "bo" and both are in Colville, WA. I wonder if there is a connection.

I decided against Anbo a while ago. Here is a picture of why

Notice how the hydraulic fittings come off the bottom of the grapple, and hang near the ground.
The most delicate part of the grapple is positioned in a position where it is most likely to get caught on something and rip off.
A guy I met a while ago, when originally looking for tractors pointed this out to me. He used to run a rental yard for construction equipment, and every Anbo grapple they made had to be repaired at least once if not twice a year due to either abrasion or having the hoses getting caught and ripped off.
That bottom thumbnail pic of the grapple makes it look realllly big. Or realllly ambitious. :laughing: d:^) Schneeks.
