Well, I got the grapple and the adapter plate, got the quick attach installed and picked up the grapple, then realized the quick connects on the hydraulic hoses were wrong, so I've got my son out searching for those. I've got to make a quick trip of about 300 miles tomorrow, to pick up some fence panels for some working pens, so I won't start the conversion project yet. I'll probably do that on weeknights, since it's getting dark so early now that I don't have time to get out to the "new" rancho after work. If I get the bucket converted, I've already got some plans to build some other attachments, including one to help move around the trailers in the back drive by the barn at my current place, (four of them are mine, one belongs to a friend who lives in town and can't store it in a driveway, and another belongs to an organization that my wife advises), so it gets a little "trafficy" near the barn sometimes, with six trailers, two tractors, a pickup, and who knows what else. Anyone built something like that?
