Grapple 60" Markham Med duty Root Grapple

[mlitt12345]

Hello all, I received my 60" Markham Med Duty Root Grapple today. This one is just like the light duty except it has 1/2" Steel instead of 3/8. I really like it and could have got by with the light duty but I see a tractor upgrade in my future so I went bigger. Here are some pics.....Mike

Very nice, you will keep that busy for awhile before it seems like work.

Looks good.. Are you going to tie up those dangling hoses before a stray root grapples them?

yes there is plenty of hose length on the grapple and I will definitely secure them better.....couldn't wait to try it out and just hooked them up for now........Thanks for the replies....Mike

I need to get one before spring

 

[Goodluck w/ That]

I went with the 48" Light Duty but so far I really like mine too. I need to put a strap on my hoses as well, they are plenty long.

Mike...I know this is an older post...hoping you're still around on the forum...I'm confused (which, BTW, happens much more easily with every passing day ), but you mention that you got the medium duty grapple with 1/2 inch steel and that the light duty version has 3/8ths steel??? Was that a typo? Would seem to me that the med duty would have the thicker steel. I'm really interested in getting a grapple...just starting to look around and research things. Now that you've had your grapple for a few years, are you still happy with it? Anything you'd have done/gotten differently. I figure you're the best guy to ask all of this of, as we have identical tractors...thanks for any info/input/advice.
