Bolt on grapple options opinions

[IXLR8]

I use my thumb on the pallet forks most of the time but I can put it on my bucket with 4 bolts rather quickly.
The forks work real good if your helper piles the brush in one direction!
Sorry I don't have any pics of it mounted on my bucket.

Is that a 36" 'Thumb' that you have?

Yes its a 36" . I wish it was longer sometimes, thinking about welding some extensions on it!
I always use it on the forks, haven't had it on the bucket since new.

That's Ok, not many guys try to pull off Mae West.

anybody got a lead on a good grapple that is double or nearly as wide as the bucket. Im looking for more than just the thumb for coverage.

Try Mid-State Attachments in Denton NC.
They are a grapple manufacturer, and make full width models like you describe.
Good pricing...... DIRECT from them!

I had MIE HOME | miemachinerydivision custom build my 24" 4-tooth bucket grapple for my New Holland TC40S. A couple of back and forth phone calls with measurements and one design signoff and I had a detachable FEL grapple. The top is custom sized to the width and opening of my bucket so the teeth fit perfectly over the toothbar as MIE doesn't believe in universal fit. I used to have to rope tie brush and logs onto the bucket-no more!
