well, I see you looked around on the net and found some pics of someone with a grapple. Good try though
You say they should mention about weight when buying a grapple ? Well, did you know EA has the lightest strongest grapples on the planet ?

No, you didn't, or you would have told the guy to purchase the strongest lightest grapple on the planet and been done

Are you six years old? Those are my pictures.

My M59 exceeds the EAs recommended size for the second largest grapple by quite a bit. The largest 125 hp tractor one weighs just short of 1000 pounds and cost $4,000. My Favor grapple shares high grade steel construction, weighs 680 pounds and cost just under 3k.

I may be fudging a little . I have the wicked 60 for 35-65 hp. But not for picking up more, it's because the 105 has heat and A/C

I don't really need two grapples, and can use this for light work on the 105 hp, or heavy work on the 51 hp

I had no idea that grapples were such a hotly debated item. All I can say is I'm happy with my purchase and I hope whatever the OP decides on that he/she is happy with that purchase. You hate to spend money and not be happy with the purchase.

I'm going to piss everyone off and say you dont need a grapple just some clamp on debris forks on a sub compact tractor if all you're doing is moving brush.

Ha I one upped you all, carry on.

I understand folk's points here as this is a question that affects all aspects of our consumerist lives. People value their hard earned money and how they use it differently. We are lucky to have the freedom of a competitive, capitalist open market that offers a variety of different products and services at different price/value points. The drive behind this market is the consumer having different independent reasons and values behind their investment choices. Sometimes a quality product is warranted and sometimes it's not. A $50/hr and a $500/hr lawyer do the same thing but 99% of the time yield drastically different results. Choosing the latter doesn't make one a shill. An incompetent cheap shot from the security of one's computer desk might tho. Chalk me up for a quality product and good customer service any day. Thank you EA for producing the quality tools I have purchased and for those I soon will.
