I'm sure I will find other uses for the hydraulics. The little tractor is REALLY useful getting through the woods on narrow trails. Plus I've got clamp on pallet forks from Titan for bothI sure think that works.
Don't forget, both tractors need hydraulics (costs as much as a cheap grapple).
So, it might make sense to just get a grapple for one tractor (and pallet forks for the other?).
The reason I was wondering is because when I haul my M4700 I try to "squeeze" extra stuff on the trailer but I don't have any scales handy to weigh the total package . When I read your post I thought you meant the tractor weighed 9,500 PLUS you had a box blade. It got me to wondering if my calculations for my M4700 were wrong.Tractor 5500, from the JD specs for the loader 1500, 1000 for boxblade, then the loaded rear r4s and cab I'd say I'm pretty close. Going off salesman. Even at 8500 lbs it still a compacts grapple on a utility tractor and its holding up good so far. Next time I'm loaded I'll run across the scales for you
