Artillian Grapple

[mkr7734]

Do any of you have the Artillian grapple made for the John Deere 300 series loaders? I would like to know what you think of it.
I have been looking at the Titan but at 450 LB it would put a large load on the 300 loader just to pick it up. I see the Artillian grapple is Module built and if you only get the mount and the grapple it would be 163LB a fraction of the weight of the Titan. Even if you got all three modules and the mount it is still 200LB less.
My use would be for moving log sections and brush. I already have the third HYD lines to the front that I use for the snow plow.
Thanks.
Here is a link to the grapple I am talking about.

While not on a 3-series, I picked up my Artillian grapple a few months ago, the fit/finish/functionality are typical world-class quality from them. Add the fork tines and you have two very productive tools!

That Artillian grapple concept looks extremely well thought out and versatile. I doubt if they are just winging it. Titan, on the other hand, has a history of poor quick attach fit and a reluctance to implement any type quality assurance program except:

"I'm sorry, here's some shims and some money to pay a welder to correct our mistakes."

Check out our 50" Wicked Grapple.
It's a great match for your tractor.

I didn't see the wicker grapple mentioned. Why don't you go make a video to demonstrate your false claims of 2500 lbs of clamping force. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Aside from moving sticks and twigs around, our grapple can dig and haul anything the tractor can lift. Here are some images from one of our great customers with a 3720 (3046R equivalent) to illustrate. He has the backrest attached, which isn't necessary, but it doesn't hurt.



And because our products are made of high strength North American materials, they are lighter so that even a 1000 series tractor can perform some amazing tasks.



Configured as a single clamp, our grapple setup weighs right at 250 lbs total, configured as a double grapple weighs about 300, as connected to the loader.

PS There's no such thing as a 2520R. Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Correct. It's all strictly Chinese hack-and-slash can't-see-it-from-my-house recycled rust with plenty of profit margin for lots of gorilla advertising. Get what you pay for. Thanks, but I'd like to die of old age or a heart attack in the sack, not the failing of a porous weld.

I'll not elaborate any further, because it's just not our style to use insults and try to degrade a product in order to sell our product.
Customers have the ability to make the right decision without all that big boy nasty talk.

Travis, don't get too far up on that high horse. You just posted 8 pictures of your product on a thread started by a member that purchased a competitors product. Not once did you commend the OP on his purchase or the quality of the product. Are you saying the Artillian Grapple is inferior??? If no,t then at least comment on it's quality.

The OP has not purchased a grapple to my knowledge. If he had, then, yes, that would've been very rude and inconsiderate of me.

Travis

And are you saying he should not??? That he would be better served to purchase yours???

 

[EverythingAttachments]

And are you saying he should not???

No,
I 100% believe he should purchase a grapple.

That he would be better served to purchase yours???

That is his decision to make.

[ovrszd]

No,
I 100% believe that he should purchase a grapple.



That is his choice to make.

Then you might be better served to step back a bit and limit your picture contribution to try to sway him your direction. If that's not your intent, what exactly would that intent be???

Is it me, or do you sound like a CNN reporter interviewing Donald Trump? :laughing:
It's 6:00 here, so I'm going home. Ya'll have at it!

You started it Travis. Go on home now.

Travis I think the point EA is missing is the OP asked a specific question about a specific product/manufacturer.
Then you used car salesman approach, swooped in with sales pitch. This is a forum where users come to get real world feedback with as little bias as possible.
Every time vendors throw the sales pitch in it muddies the waters.

I think you guys make a good product at a fair price but can't see why the sales pitch in every thread is needed?

Very well stated. I totally agree.

I've commented on this before. Build a good product. Sell it at a reasonable price. Let the consumers advertise for you. Don't need to jump in on every discussion found. Especially since the OP didn't mention EA in any form, or even ask for an alternative brand. Just looks cheap and definitely "used car salesman" when that's done.

Oh great, a vendor bashing another vendor.

Oh great, a vendor bashing another vendor. Wait! Didn't I just say that when this same vendor bashed yet a different vendor?

Artillian,
What is "ultra-high-strength and wear-resistant steel.."? Also, no Skid Steer QA fork frame? JDQA only???
