best grapple for a 4410?

[ebeb]

Any recommendations on a grapple for a 4410?

Is a 4 in 1 bucket a solution (have a 430 on order)

I had a 4in1 ordered for my4310 with a 430, but swapped it for a 5' grapple rake. Anbomanufacturing.com is a place to look. JDeere sold me one called Bodozer but I think it's the same unit. Anyway I've messed with it a bunch this last weekend (just got it) and am amazed at what it can do. Keep your regular bucket and get a grapple rake if you can. You will not be disappointed.

what price did you pay, is it a simple mount to the front of my 4410, do any of your local places rent a grapple

thanks!

I paid $2850, possibly $200 more than if you deal direct with Anbo. It's a 2pin quick release just like the bucket plus 2 quick disconnect hoses. Very fast. Never have seen one for rent B4 so don't know the renting options.

I bought a grapple attachment from a guy on ebay that is working great. It's only 18 inches wide, but I'm doing a ton of work with it and have few complaints. I did have to beef up the front a little, but other than that, it worked great. Of course, I'm moving trees more than brush. I'll attach a few pictures so you can get an idea. Watch ebay and you can probably find him. If you can't, I may be able to find some contact info.

The grapple was around $400 or so, and then you have to run hydraulic lines, which isn't cheap. I think I spent close to $200 for all the lines and fittings I need to run to my rear SCV.

Last one to show you my ballast box, which has about 1200 lbs. in it.

Don't know if this link will work, but this is the guy that sold me mine. Names Andy.

so that grapple just attaches to the top of your FEL (mine is a 430) and then grips it against the FEL?

is there a deere option like this?
