Grapple Aldomi grapple ?

[BJN644]

Does anyone have one of these grapples, and how do they like it?
What I like is that they make a pin on model for my Kioti so I don't have to spend $600 on a QA mount.

I get an error when I try to connect to their website, like its down or not registered on a DNS server anywhere. I can't google it either.

I got in fine.. Maybe its only open at after midnight.
I'd have to know the prices first. Its a little different than any other design I've seen. Instead of tines they use spikes or spears.

I was quoted a price of around $1100 for the 48" model.

I don't have that brand so I can only comment on what it LOOKS like. Without bracing your looking at a lot of bent tines if you use it anything like I do. There may be uses for a design like that which I have not considered but it looks frail.

I think if your serious about a grapple I'd check out Markham welding. They are now making 48" and 60" light weight to use with CUT's. Do search on That-Markham-Girl. The price is around $900 with FREE shipping.

I just looked at their web page photos. Very weird construction. They have no cross bracing at all on their lower tines which is pretty bizzarre unless they intend just to pick up hay bales. I cannot imagine this type of grapple would last long in a root grapple mode. The top grapple is cross braced which makes the bottom thing even weirder. Again, if I were picking up hay bales 24/7 this grapple looks like it would be fine. For general duty however it seems like the bottom tines would be bent up in a day or so.

I'd agree with earlier suggestions to check out Markham. They are not the only decent grapple maker these days but they do seem to be the value leader by quite a bit, especially with their free shipping deal.

I agree the Markham looks good, but I really don't want to buy a quick attach adapter for $600 and added weight of the adapter.

Then again, I agree the bottom tines on the Aldomi didn't look that rugged to me either. I was hoping to hear from someone who had one and could put their 2 cents in.

You could always ask if Markham is willing to make a Kioti mount for you. If someone has the specification that Markham can use I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige for a fee. Their 48" grapple is about 400lbs. Thats about 40lb heavier then the WRLong. Not sure what weight difference is from the Aldomi, but if you want something that isn't going bend and break you're going to have to add weight. Well unless we start building with special metals.
