I am looking to purchase an Add-A-Grapple to my Titan pallet forks. Any experience with these?
Best Pallet Fork Grapple?

I’ve been thinking about a set myself, but I haven’t gotten around to adding a 3rd function to my LSXJ2025H. South Central Mo, where? I’m in Poplar Bluff. Youtubers Tractor Time with Tim and Tractor Mike (from MO) did a video about these I believe.

I've looked at these. I think I'm going to buy "The Thumb" from Greens Machine and put it on my forks, with a separate mounting base for my bucket.

I have "The Thumb" mounted to my forks and for the price it can't be beat.
They make log handling easy
A little lightweight , so watch your loads and no zerks on the pivots but I keep them lubed.

I have a BX. No problem with overloading implements for the most part.

Let’s just say Titan is at the bottom of the price structure and quality is at the same level.
I bought a "The Thumb" more than 10 years ago and mounted it on a dedicated heavy duty pallet fork. I have used it on my skid loader for carrying large trees to light brush. Also it is great for demo work on old out buildings, barns and such. I once picked the entire roof off of a 8'X12' chicken coop in one piece. I was also able to lay the wood framed walls and roof flat on the ground and pick the sheet iron off so that I could haul the sheet iron to the scrapper. One thing I will suggest is that you position your forks so that the grapple will go down between the forks. That way you can grab onto smaller loads.
If I remember correctly seems like I gave $350.00 for it. Money very well spent.

It's a good bit more expensive now, but still well worth the price in my opinion.
I feel like if I get it, I'll want to get a separate mounting base for my bucket. Allowing me to easily swap it from forks to bucket. Anybody done that? Is it useful on a tractor bucket? I don't move rocks that much. With the sides on the bucket I'm not sure it would be worth much lifting brush, poles, logs, etc.

I'd say they are the Harbor Freight of tractor impliments. Both good & bad. I've owned 2 sets of Titan pallet forks. First pair didn't fit my L3200 SSQA right. They promptly gave me $75 or so off already cheap forks to go away (in theory to have somebody weld shim plates in) or would have shipped a new frame. I welded a couple plates in myself. Those forks sold with a old machine. I promptly replaced them with longer Titain forks. No fitment issues this time.
I'd reconsider if I had a bigger machine than my Kubota Grand L, but my loader doesn't lift 2k lbs. Plenty for part time use on a home machine. The forks are also a fair but lighter than a heavy duty skid steere set. Good when you have limited lift capacity already & don't want heavy forks eating that up.
