Loader Grapple size for my JD 3320

[Baldcini]

I'm new to this site. I have owned my John Deere 3320 since 2013 and recently have considered buying a grapple. I have a 300x loader which I understand weighs about 900# including a 61 " bucket.
I investigated the John Deere 72" grapple along with a 3rd function control. My dealer says about $4,000 installed. A little pricy at present.
Are the Titans any better for the price? I plan to use it for removing wild blackberry vine on my property. Also, moving debris after a small timber thinning operation.
I'm concerned that buying a heavy, twin cylinder grapple weighing nearly 1000# will cut down on my grapple load weight ability. Also, would my present hydro controls for my rear top link, or bottom forks be sufficient to operate the third function?
Also, can anyone suggest an insurance company that will insure my JD? I will be transporting it occasionally on the highway between properties I own. Will not be contracted out or used commercially. My homeowners or auto policy will not cover it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Mmm, Lift at the pin is 999lbs. to full height.
Check out EA's small light weight grapples to maximize your lifting ability, think they have some around 300lbs. which would leave a good amount of lift
