I have a 2013 Kubota MX5100 and i'm looking to buy a grapple i've picked out one from carolina attachments there heavy duty model Heavy Duty Root Grapple - Carolina Attachments, LLC the weight on this grapple is 700 lbs. Is this too heavy for my tractor? The lift on my loader (LA844) is 1852 lbs. 500mm forward of the pins. Will this kill the lift on my tractor.
Too heavy? Your tractor will lift it and carry it around but you'll feel it out there, even unloaded. Your tractor will have less lifting capacity, less pushing ability and feel less agile than if you were to get a strong, lightweight grapple designed just for compact tractors.
