Added a grapple to the CT450. Justified it to myself as a back saver. I've been lucky so far and figured a good back is priceless.

I moved the first couple rocks my wife wanted for landscaping around the house last night. One big one repaid a lot of the initial grapple cost! I remember the last time I tried (unsuccessfully) to move it using a bucket on a Ford 2000 2WD and a 5 foot pry bar :mad:

This time I picked it up in the same spot as I tried to move it from last time - LOL.

I may have been light on ballast with the 612 lb brush cutter. But I kept it very close to the ground in low range and all went well.

I've used it for brush/logs this spring and that is very handy, but this was GREAT! What a handy tool.

Took me about 6 month's before I convinced myself that I needed one. I wish that I would have did it sooner. It is an invaluable implement.

That is one of those things that you never know how you lived without it.

This grapple from WR Long is one of my favorite implements.
