BigDogues, try this link to Ebay where there's a grapple being offered that may be a lot lighter. I can't remember the weight, but e-mail the seller and he can tell you.
This particular grapple was apparently copied from the original Ebay seller. I think Pineridge is the guy that can tell you how to contact the original guy as I can find his sale on right now.

Well, even though this has been the worst demo period ever, (constant rain for a week!) I think that I have come to a decision on a new tractor. The CK25hst it is for me! (if the price is right /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) But I think that I'll be able to come to an equitable agreement with my dealer. One thing I definitely am going to want to add is rear hydraulics so I can turn my snowblower from the nice warm comfy cab. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'd also like to put a grill guard and a tooth bar on it. As far as the grapple goes I may try to fabricate one myself. The best thing I found so far was a compact tractor grapple rake from Worksaver. here's a link Nice /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif But $2000.00 /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I'll keep you posted.
