Lift of 2,315 lbs is very nice, but less than I earlier thought. You might want to checkout the new Everything Attachments large grapple. I would hate to see you put a 1000 lb grapple on it and lose nearly half or more of your lift depending on how far out your load is.
Tom, can you verify if the everthingattachments.com grapple you're talking about is the one I linked to in my original post? If so, I did notice that the 73" version has a weight of 950+ lbs.
I did talk to everythingattachments.com about their new Wicked Grapple and they said it was too lightweight for my tractor and were afraid it'd bend with heavy use... they suggested the one I linked to in the OP.
