Dehner Welding Grapple on Kioti 45

[Oleozz]

I am in the process of getting this critter hooked up. It is made solid, the base plate is angle iron, the arms are quite sturdy and he uses a steel plate to protect the cylinder. I learned that putting the arm onto the base plate is not a one man job. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif The local Ferguson dealer is making up the hydraulic hoses for me and should be ready by Friday.

This is another view of the Dehner grapple.

Looks great. Tell me some more details.

Did you make this or buy a weld on package?
What was the cost?
What size bucket does it work with?
Any links?

Looks great on your tractor. I am wanting something like this. Something that can be removed when not wanted.

Thanks for sharing!!

Mike--I bought it off ebay from Dehner Welding (www.dehnerwelding.com). He calls it the Arm and comes in two sizes. The price was $330 plus shipping. I have it on a 72 inch bucket but you can put it on different size buckets. I looked at a lot of them before I bought this one, I liked its solid construction but will know more once I get the hoses hooked up and then see what it can do with brush and small trees.

That looks like a cool tool!

Is there a separate control that comes with the grapple or do you have to provide one tractor specific?
What effect does it have on the hydraulic fluid? Do you need a second reservoir?
