Let's see if I can do this!

OK that looks like it worked! First of all, credit to J_J, for sharing the 'build', and Willl, & TEG for helping me find&redirect folks. You can read through the Power-Trac post for details, but with all the interest in Grapples, I thought that you might enjoy it, as I did. Great concept of the hitch as a building base! My last comment was about the possibly just transfering the grapple portion to the top of my stock 300x JD Loader bucket. Seem it would be relitively simple, especially if you had that in mind, at the start! The cylinder would stay with the grapple, and I'd just have to weld a plate to the Bucket, along with mount for the top grapple bar. I thing what I enjoy most about this forum is the way people adapt parts, for different uses. Hardened steel rake tines!! What a great idea! Thanks again J_J, and others! ~Scotty

Well, ordered 5- tines! $16.50 a copy! Only $23- Shipping, which I didn't think was bad. Don't know how AgriSupply can base shipping on total order cost, rather than weight! The 40hp Gearbox I got from them was the same way, and that's like shipping an Avil!!
