I have never seen that Wildkat before. It is not on their website (below), however it is similar to the one on the center top. That one has replaceable tips, is heavier and more $.

Where did you get it?

From a local dealer that carries wildkat attachments ..
And ya its not on there site . Buts its a wildkat . I had to call them about it to get specs on it and the price the dealer over charged me and he had to refund me money . He couldn't call them about it since it was after they closed on the east coast when i bought it he couldn't get a price . he didn't have a price on it . So I called wildkat the next day about it to get a price and weight and see why it isn't on there site .

I found out that its a design only made on short runs . Made from the scraps or uncut pieces of there other stuff . Basically they didn't want to throw metal away when they can get a cut out of it . And this grapple is it . They said there Supposed to be sold through auctions . The dealer where I bought it is also a big tractor and equipment and attachment auction once a month 3-4 days a week .
Here's there web page .

He only had 2 in 60" and 2 in 72" in this design .
I'm 100% happy with it . a lot lighter than there monster on the website which in person it's a monster . it was what I was going to buy but after I seen the one I got I changed my mind to it . I made the right Choice on it .


Here's another place I just found it on the net for sell .

I agree, I wonder why Wildkat does not show it on their website.

Don't know unless they just started making it and haven't up dated there site . Or it's a once a year type run to make them .

Personally I think they need them on the web page and for sell all the time there a great size for tractors And great price . They would probley sell a lot more of these than the heavy monster one .

I agree. At that price and weight they compete with the Titan rake grapple that I have, yet yours is way better with those big lower teeth. I have to switch to my L bottom any time I need to pick much up.
