Certainly am in the market for some forks. Grapple is also on the wish list, but with the cost + additional cost for a diverter, the forks will likely come first.

Too much cutting an fab work to make a grapple I think.
Local place here, 5 min away, sells tital grapples. $1250 for 6' and 1450 for 6-1/2. For the cost of material, cylinders, and lots of time cutting, I'd just buy one for that.
Can't remember who it was....94bullitt???? That got the grapple parts from ETA and welded up. Need to score me a deal like that:thumbsup:
No remotes. Might consider adding some though
yeah it was Roger 94bullit that got the "build it yourself" kit from EA. Of course there was still a lot of work involved int putting it together. Still a good deal for him though.I was thinking a grapple might be pretty handy for you in you business. You could take on clean up jobs. You can move a lot of crap in a hurry with a grapple.
Yep. A grapple is pretty high up the wish list. Moving brush is 10x's easier than with just a plain bucket.
I added a mechanical thumb to my BH and its proved very usefull.
Never did one on the L3400 cause it was a pin on bucket and just never had time. Now with a SSQA.......
Probably end up dopping for a 8' cutter first though. So priority order would be 1. SSQA pallet forks. 2. 8' twin spindle hog 3. Grapple. 4. Some remotes and converting to an angle blade + TNT.
I love my 6' 306 bushhog, it will go through anything and impossible to hurt that cutter, but it dont do grass well. Only 10,200fpm blade speed. My cheapie 5' KK @ 12,500 is 10x's better. Dad has a 6' KK we need to get fixed up. Its 15k. But I really need an 8' twin up north of 15k
Played a little in the dirt today. The hydro is gonna take some getting used to, thats for sure. Bout eat the steering wheel everytime I try to go backwards.
And everytime I want to hit the pedal to rev up and raise the loader, the tractor goes forward for some reason![]()
