I chose this style grapple because I deal mostly with rocks( large and small) and pine tree trunks. I have almost no brush/vines/shrubs on my property. My property is field grass, pine trees and two lakes. View attachment 871279The grapple is called a rock/root or clamshell style. The OM lists AR400 as the steel used to build this grapple.
Anyhow - you should do something like I did to your brush guard. Limbs, sticks and stobs have a nasty way of finding your grill, battery or radiator.
