Best Rated 55 Inch Wicked Root Rake Grapple from Everything Attachments
Most lightweight grapple you'll find. Uses universal quick hitch.

Land Pride make a good grapple. I would recommend WR Long for third function and modify your OEM grill guard to protect grill, radiator & battery.

How heavy is that grapple? Is it universal quick hitch as well?

My grapple is - Land Pride SGC1560. 60" wide and 820 pounds. It is a TRUE beast. To the best of my knowledge - Land Pride no longer makes this model. Well - it uses the same hitch/lock-up system as my Kubota bucket. Is it universal quick hitch - IDK. I had the Kubota dealer instal the grapple five years ago and I've never taken it off since it was installed.
There are two "keys" that lock in/hold the bottom and two hand activated latches on the sides.
I use the grapple to move large - office desk size - rock and five & ten foot chunks of ancient Ponderosa pine. I can lift/move stuff up to 3000# and then the rear end gets a little "light in the loafers". As counter weight to the grapple - 1550# of RimGuard in the rear tires - - Rhino 950 rear blade @ 1050#.

I have the MTL with double lid...only $1000...not as good as the better grapples but I am not a heavy user and it works for me.

The EA grapple is around 200lbs and has a SSQA which his GC1723E should possibly have on it. GC series tractors have limited lift capacity... The JD 1 series or Kubota BX with a bit better lift capacity

I am leaning towards the Wicked 55 grapple which weighs only 239 pounds for my GC1705 and they also have a complet WR Long diverter kit for just under 800.00 which includes hoses or else Summit makes a diverter for half the price but has no hoses. So far this is about the best system I have found for the GC1705.
I am still looking for a ssqa for the 1705, Massey wants 485.00 total but not sure that痴 the best price out there.
