Just pulled the trigger!

I don't know the requirements but I have nothing to do with equine anything. Not doing that.

The salesman has also known me since I was born and drives by my house frequently.

I see another QA option. The AI2 quick attach. Looks very similar to the TNG, seems like it weighs roughly the same, and functions similarly. Some reports are it not being quite as easy to use but still not bad.

It is a fair bit cheaper, but it does not include a 2" receiver mount. What do y'all think about the comparison? Is the receiver built in worth the extra money? Looks like $200-$300 difference.

The AI2 is over $525. I don’t think
Jery’s is $700-$800. I do know Jery’s is much more robust, and the latching system is second to none. There is no movement when the outer latches are locked. The 2” receiver would be worth $200 to me alone. It’s a saving grace for all sorts of tasks, as well as snaking my trailer in/out of a tight spot when I need it most.

I've seen 650 plus shipping.

Jery has just gotten back to me, the QA is $850 plus shipping. The mini grapple is $950 plus shipping, and the adjustable forks are $799 plus shipping.

He just emailed me back saying he misquoted the QA, it's $750+shipping. Lol

So a little bit better!

Your choice. Your money. I think between the receiver, latches, and quality for a long term investment, I’d be all over Jery’s QA. Plus, Jery’s movable forks are much lighter than any others, and are tough. I’ve move a lot of full tree trunks well over what I should be lifting, and have no issues to date.

I haven't found any complaints for the AI2 quality either. If both QA systems will attach to a regular pin on implement, will Jery's forks attach to the AI2 QA? Although they make a set also.

AI2 forks are listed at 162 lbs, vs Jery's forks at 110, but the AI2 QA is about 50 lbs vs 70 for TNG. So that all seems about a wash.

My back is killing me! I hurt it a couple years ago, I have a herniated disc, but it's not bad enough to warrant surgery.

Amongst other things, I've moved a pile of (20) 4x4x8s and stacked them up neatly out of the way, moved a few 6x8 privacy fence panels around, moved and stacked some 2x12x8s, and drug quite a bit of brush and a small tree to the road I trimmed/cut down. Can't wait for my tractor to be here!

That big rock on your forks is one hell of a paper weight!

60 years ago I could lift 200 lbs with one hand now I am lucky
if I can life 50 lbs with 2 hands

What would do y'all think about this? It's for sale locally for $425, and for all I know I may be able to talk him down. I can't find much about LMC, but what I have is positive. I believe this is their "economy" model, so my guess is it's light duty. However, I have a light duty tractor and most of my work will likely be light duty . My property is mostly sand, so anything I do at home will probably be easy going.

Only one is for sale.
