In honor of MossRoad sugesstions. Pallet Fork Add a Grapple

[Industrial Toys]

I love my hyd adjustable forks. It is another thing you need to get off the machine and hook up though, even though I have hyd quick attach.

Different machine and forks/bale grapple. Used this arrangment for decades now to transport brush. Handles much, much more than a normal grapple, you can compact it repeatedly when handbombing branches and it doesn't dig into the turf like a normal grapple. Downside is, the forks are almost useless for normal service. Grapple comes off with four bolts but it's a hassle.

You mean the pallet forks are also hyd adjust?

This machine, Not that machine. I have to struggle. Actually with the 640 to SS adapter I could use that (Cascades) carrier, that came off a forklift on the JD.

Kind of cool too, as I don't need side shift on account of the articulation.

I also know I probably shouldn't, but I do sometimes use them to clamp stuff like stumps. Often use them to break tire beads too as you can adjust them so precisely.

Pallet forks with PT adapter plate is getting welded up now.
After that is done, I would like to add a removable grapple to the pallet fork implement.
I think this one would work nice?

This is what I made for my power Trac when I had it. The attachment plate has since been cut off and the forks welded to a SSQA plate so the THUMB can be used on it. It is made so the grapple is removable.

Used Bobcat 48 inch
asking $3000

That's outrageous.

Seems like a killer deal if it included a functional Bobcat on the end of it.

Yeah I thought he was asking a little much. Said he was open to offers.
Bobcat attachments fetch a pretty good amount. They are well built heavy duty attachments

A bit more unobstrusive than what I have. Maybe mine can haul more brush though. Went poking around behind our JD dealer and found my Bale grapple lying in the weeds. Dealer threw it in with the purchase of our tractor.
