WICKED Grapple Rake for SMALL Tractors

If that's an option, more power to you guys. I'd buy it if I need a 4' wide grapple! Look forward to seeing your progress!

More pics. I'm hoping to have it on our BX soon!

The 54" will be awesome on a CK27 ...Travis
I'm still thinking the Single Lid Wicked Root Grapple for Compact Tractors for me. 100 pound weight penalty, but I'm in the desert... no trees, just brush. Just waiting on the budget.

Travis, I don't see grease zerks on the lid bushings on this new rake grapple?

Assuming this grapple is going to be SSQA compatible? I'd eventually like to get a narrow lightweight grapple like this for loading saw logs and firewood logs and moving/stacking boulders with my L3901. For a lot of what I do anything wider than a set of forks becomes a bit unnecessary. I really like this design though.

I'm in the group that likes a grapple narrower than the bucket.

For the BX, I'd like about 36 wide with a single cylinder 12 inch lid. That would add to the lift, too.

I like narrow also. I haven't really mentioned our NEW Mini Wicked Grapple, which is an alternative for those who like L shaped grapples. This one is just wide enough to put the BX pin on mounts on it.
For comparison, our 50" Wicked Grapple is on the tractor.

We are going to make a 54" model with SSQA. The cylinders are on the outer edges of the grapple, so 54" is about as narrow as it can get.
We are really rating these for subcompacts and small compacts, so the L3901 is stretching it!!
Our 60" Grapple Rake is a little wider, but it is bomb proof on larger compacts!

I like the new grapple rake. If I was in the market to buy a grapple for a small tractor I go with style because it would be easier to load over the side of a truck or trailer with. With root grapple you have to curl to dump you loose lift height. That would not be a problem for a grapple rake.

The 48" BX Grapple is now ORANGE! We're plumbing the cylinders now.

What do you guys think of the orange color vs. our traditional Wicked black?
