Looks like an mtl which goes for just under 1000 bucks, not sure what shipping would cost you , others on here have the mtl and seem to like them. My local Ls dealer has a titan 60 in grapple for 1100 that im thinking about buying, Good luck with your research.

Price seems high to me. I will add that I had a Wildkat single lid grapple on my previous tractor for over ten years with no problems. When I bought my current tractor MTL had the better price for the type and size of grapple I wanted.
It took me a while to match it up, but that appears to be this #18 E-Series Root Grapple | MS Attachments model. The company is based in North Carolina but their new prices before shipping are less than what those "unused" are shown for.
I appreciate the research you put into finding it. Thank you! Wonder if I can get them to come down on the price.

Just be sure you know how you will be mating this up with your FEL. Otherwise - pretty pricy for this size grapple. You can get a better price, new, on other brands that will be just as good. Keep looking or get a price reduction.

Seems to me that this size may be too large and heavy for your satisfaction. It is a great grapple but you should consider size and weight.

For a 24hp tractor, a 60” grapple is too big and too heavy. I don’t think this is a good fit. For example, I have a Wildkat 48” grapple for my 66 hp tractor, and there isn’t anything I can’t handle with this grapple. Additionally, your tractor is more maneuverable with the smaller grapple. I hope this is helpful to you in your choice of grapples.
