New Bucket Thumb Grapple for Skid Steer Loader Tractor | eBay

I bought one of these for my pallet forks about 5 or 6 years ago. Works great on my skid steer. I can take down small buildings in a single bound! Seems like I gave about $350 for it. I bolted some u brackets around my forks and through a 4X4X1/4" angle iron then mounted the grapple to that. It is so handy that I have dedicated a set of pallet forks for this purpose and just leave the grapple on it.

You're welcome. That's why we all come to this site. I may get one this winter if the ground ever freezes around here. I've got 30 or so elms that are dead or close to it and need to go.
A medium or lighter duty thumb on my skid steer would work nicely.
Only thing that kinda sucks about it is the additional expense of having to get fittings & hoses for that ebay unit. But I suppose that they really can't supply couplers and hoses because of the wide array of machines that these thumbs could potentially be used on.
