Geez that's a nice grapple; I am in the process of building one for my pallet forks but your's is really nice.

looks to clean, but very nice, I am building one for my b26 from scratch and can understand why the WR-long cost what they do.

My grapple was the BEST thing I have bought... besides the tractor!!! haha

Very nice unit Stu. Did you order the grapple online, or from a local dealer? How much does the grapple weigh and how long did it take to install?

The grapple had to be ordered by my dealer, WR Long only sells to dealers. The grapple weighs about 350lbs, and took about a day to install.

Was the third-function a Kubota item, or another brand? And did you install it yourself or have the dealer do it?

Man that is really nice. I have never had a grapple, does it increase the risk of grille / front end damage from sticks and stuff?

It really looks awesome though, rarrrr! Go get em!

It's a WR Long 3rd function valve, and I had my dealer do the install.

I plan to weld a piece of expanded metal across the back of the grapple to reduce the possibility of a stick/log poking through and hitting the grill or the hyd fittings going to the grapple arm.

I just bought the markham 60 inch Grapple, and I never thought about a stick poking through. Maybe a piece of walkway grating like we use on cat walks at work will do the trick, and keep visability high. I'll let you know.

Thanks, it's about 5.5 acres I have cleared and fenced, the rest of the property outside the fence I have left natural woods with some food plots.

Those are some good pictures. I especially like the Grapple and Valve Kit.

The WR Long kit works well - I have one on L4310 - the only issue I have had is the crimp on one of the hoses went bad after about ten hours...and PAIGE TRACTORS replaced the bad hose - and paid for half the cost of the other line as well. If you are in Central Texas - check out PAIGE TRACTORS in PAIGE, TEXAS for your WR. Long items.

Your grapple set up looks great - I built my own and on the grill I welded class 1 intergrated safety grate (pricey but worth it).

Look around steel yards / scrap yards - you may find it. I never worry about brush now - as the the spacing is 1 inch by 3 inch rectangle shape.

Good luck with your new grapple.

I'm getting ready to purchase the W R Long OBG but not sure which size to get, 48" or 56". 56" has two grapples -vs- one grapple for the 48".
Tractor is a Bobcat CT230. Is wider better if the tractor will handle it. 56" grapple is 460 lbs. Opinions please.
