This is the exact model that I have on order. Should be here in a couple of weeks...

Faver or Wildkat?

Faver 31" SCX

Cool, I am looking forward to what you say about it. We have many EA, Wildkat, Titan, HR Long, etc owners on TBN but not many Favers that I can recall. Did you ever find weight ratings?

Looks nice. Did you get it direct from the manufacturer? Cost?

Faver has various sizes on EBay. The 31" is $1650 plus shipping. If they are not too heavy with those thick tines, I might have to add yet another grapple.

The 31" weighs a bit over 400lb. Their prices on Ebay are pretty much their direct cost as well. I went with the 3" longer tines that added $100 to the above cost. Shipping is $120, but that doesn't include lift gate. I like to pick my stuff at the terminal anyways. They are also putting two steps on for no cost. When I was quoted, the lead time was 8-10 weeks, but they brought that number down to 6-7 weeks by the time I ordered. It's the spring rush so I understand the back log. I'll be using the grapple on a 2300lb skid steer.

400 lbs, 42" opening, 12-1/2" closing, minimal tines for digging penetration, $1650. For medium sized loaders and up, this is a good grapple.

Agree. Looks nice for loaders with more than 2000lbs lift. For those with less lift capacity I think I'd favor the EA 50 (?is it 50 or 53??) based solely on specs.
