Grapple for 6075 recommendations

[h2opdler]

Just recieved my 6075 and looking for a grapple.
I ordered a 84" from Titan and when it arrived it had a leaking cylinder and was missing a cylinder pin. I called Titan and offered to keep it IF they overnighter the parts. They refused. So now I'm in the market for another.
Wondering what everyone suggests.

Good afternoon - h2opdler. There must be a good reason you wanted such a wide grapple. I have a Land Pride SGC 1560 - 60" wide. I don't rake/scoop up a whole lot of limbs/brush but 60" is more than adequate. I use mine mainly for moving ginormous rocks and chunks of pine tree trunks. Mine is within 6" of being the same width as my front tires. I can stick my nose in - grab stuff - back out.

There are literally dozens of grapples available.

The way I decided. First I determined if I wanted a rock/root grapple or a brush grapple. Then I looked at local availability. I chose Land Pride because I could immediately get it and have it installed by the local Kubota dealer.

Mine is very heavy duty and has held up, without any repairs, for the eight years I've had/used it.

Another suggestion. Have your grill guard modified to protect from sticks, stobs & limbs. A tough 'ol limb can easily damage your grill, radiator or battery.

I got a 72 inch grapple from palletforks.com. After some fit issues to the skid steer attach, it has been awesomefor 9 years. I even hooked it on a root and it didn't bend, but it sure twisted my loader cross tube enough to have it cut out and welded in a new, bigger tube.
palleforks.com sell Titan attachments. So I guess I got a Titan grapple.
I am wondering why so wide also. Six foot works fine on my Mahindra 6520. Grapples are heavy and 84 inches is a lot of weight hanging out there.
