YES!!!!
I just purchased a new L3901 this past week. A grapple is on my envy list.... I too wonder if I'd use it enough..... Heres my thinking: Get one! Who says you have to be married to it. I see used grapples from time to time on Craigslist.... I'm sure it wouldn't las long if you put it on there. I think I'm going to buy one (used).... I know I could work a root grapple a week our two straight clearing rose spirea , and bush honeysuckle on my 35 acre property. If I find Its not very useful after that I'll sell it. Look at it like this.....If you rented one there is no way you could only use it a weekend (normal rental) and do everything you wanted with it. Chances are you would want it again for at least another weekend. What would a two weekend rental cost? My guess is no less than 400 dollars? If you own it.... you can use it whenever you want.....If you finally feel like you've used it up as much as your going to need it.... then sell it in your yard. My question (a dumb one), do grapples advertised as 'skid steer' grapples fit kubota quick attach buckets? Thanks in advance for a reply.

That EA 50 inch graple looks like a good match for my L3901.... My bucket weighs 270 lbs aprox. It certainly could handle the rose spirea and bush honey suckle that I have already uprooted using my conventional bucket. Great.... Can you guys let my wife know!![]()
Or - just give k0ua or me your shipping location and we'll have Travis at EA ship it COD. That way there'll be no turning back and you'll have someone else to blame!No problem, we have your back, go ahead and order it.![]()
