My grapple doesn't do good with big stumps or rocks. My pallet forks do better for stuff like that. The pallet forks weigh about half what the grapple does so I can lift a little more.

That's funny Ted, I was on your website when you replied! Great site btw even if it doesn't load so well on me phone anymore.
On the Long OBG2 like Piston's, what it the tine spacing on the bottom? What about if you add the optional extra tines?

Thanks!
To my understanding, the current mobile format of the website is to please Google, though it now seems harder to navigate on my mobile.
Standard spacing on the OBG2 is 8". Optional spacing is 4", which can be accomplished by adding tines to the back and the bottom($270.00) OR to only the back($110.00) or only the bottom($160.00) if that makes sense.

In the market for a grapple I could definitely use one at the house lots of clean up needs to be done. Been looking at the Titan and EA grapple Titan has an excellent price point but everyone seems pleased with there EA grapple... Decisions decisions

I should've bought a grapple two years ago... now my number of hours on it will not be close to what it would have been if I pulled the trigger then. I am afraid of running a ROI calculation but I still drool over one.

Figure it costs 3k (grapple, 3rd function, etc), and you keep it 10 years: $300/yr is like 4 days rental around here.
But the reality is it's a force multiplier. If you take less time to do your work it's saving you effort or the expense of recovery from the labor. There was no waiting for me. Root grapple was as vital as diesel.

That would be an easy decision for me.

I'm assuming that you would pick EA Grapple

Ya. Just my opinion having never used either! Happy to spend other peoples money.
I will say to pay attention to how wide they open up. Some don't open very far and that would limit functionality for me.
I also think the flat bottom grapples are prob more versatile than the short bottom "root" grapples.
