Grapple for JD 2720

[jkb7810]

Looking for some information from the guys that have a 2720 or similar size tractor. 2k ish lbs fel 800lift capacity.

Been looking at grapple's again and kinda stuck on the 48 titian 450 lbs. EA said 12 to 15 weeks back log 55" 300lbs.
Plus try to justify an extra 1k $ is kinda hard to swallow. Have not tried any one else. Did look at MTL and there weight is around 350. Of course the lighter grapple's are not made with the same steel thickness.

What your thoughts on grapple's.

have you looked at Grapples, Rakes & Accessories - Buy from Artillian

You DO NOT want a 450 pound grapple on a compact tractor, much less an imported one!

Look at Artillian as tiller mentioned, EA, or CTA (Compact Tractor Attachments)

Wait time are increasing for everyone now, material/supplier issues and high demand are only part of the reason, plus the longer you wait the more the price will go up.

I'll check those out. Thanks guys.

I have a quote coming for the 50in grapple from CTA. Pretty sure I'm going with them.

Now all I have to do is get the power beyond and valve's put on. O yeah and gripe about the 100lb weights I put on it. LoL .Pretty sure I have all the parts for it. Just have to build the bracket's.

Just a update. I've got the grapple here and it really looks great. Now I just have to find the time the make the bracket for the valve and a location. Not much room on these little things. LoL

Well I have finally got around to building the bracket for the 3 spool valve I bought. Here are some pictures of the mock up.

My plan from the original idea has changed so I will have to get some other fittings, when the plumbing starts.

I also took a picture of the 100lb weight that I spoke of earlier. Finger pinching, #!#!#! U get the drift.

I've never seen a weight for the front like that. Tell us about it.

Also, I like your grapple project, wish i had one sometimes.
