Save up for a grapple to use when it's not snowing

 

[pardon my french]

I'm trying every thing is so dang exspensive but better than paying and waiting for the plow guy to show up

 

[pardon my french]

I looked at grapples.yesterday It's on the list

That plow has a serious looking mounting plate on it, and the blade looks like it has a nice curl too. Any idea on the weight? How wide is it?

 

[pardon my french]

It is 90 inches wide it's made by bradco it weighs close to 750 new.price 4500 I bought it at a pretty good price . Let's just say I felt bad driving away from the guys house he has used it 2 to 3 times and.i had to have it

I spent the summer moving a huge pile of clearing debris to a burn pile wishing all along I had a grapple. Now I suppose I can't justify but I sure could have back last spring!

You should feel good that you got the deal. If you hadn't bought it the next guy would have. The seller would still take the same loss, and you would still be shopping for a blade.

That weight will be nice. My 84" front blade setup is a bit over 600 lbs. and it will really scrape a surface clean. The more weight you can put on the 3 point hitch the better your tractor will like it.

 

[pardon my french]

Well since you put it that way I feel better boy this blade sure looks like it will out last me i don't think I should have a problem with the 4740 should make quick work of the snow

 

[pardon my french]

That's what I told my wife when I begged her to let me buy our new Kubota.

"Dirt cover honey DIRT GEE DEE COVER!" She says "What do you mean?" I says "Honey all the money we make there ain't no way we can take it with us to our graves so PLEEEEEEEZE let me buy this new L3940 tractor!"

And then those famous words that evryone tells their sweet wife.

"HONEY IT'S THE LASSSSSSSSSTTTTTT TRACTORRRRRRRR WE'LL EVERRRRRRRRRR NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!"

And the rest is history my friend.

Nice plow by the way now you jinxed us it won't snow at all this Winter.

Regards, Fred

Very nice, you'll have no problem with your machine, if you have weight in the rear.

 

[pardon my french]

I do have a nice 7ft blade for weight I'm gonna need to build a bigger shed

 

[pardon my french]

Your probably right now it won't snow since I bought this plow

 

[nybirdman]

I think you will find that plow will do a great job.I have a 8ft.FEL mounted on my L4240 HSTC and a 7ft. rear blade.Great tools for snow removal.My rear tires are loaded(R1's)

 

[pardon my french]

I hope your right I have r 4 tires but not loaded but wil keep the bb on the back for weight

 

[pardon my french]

Here is a pic of the blade it's built like a brick @@@@ house bradco makes nice stuff should be around a long time I try to buy quality I hate tinkering with stuff. My said lazy and cheap people work twice as hard and pay double

 

[pardon my french]

I also picked up this big bucket from the same guy I just thought they were really well made so I picked them both up . I know these buckets are about 2,000 if you ever get a chance to see one you get why they are so spendy!!!!!! Really really well made

 

[milkman636]

So does that blade have the flat face couplers on the hydraulic hoses?

Is your tractor cabbed? Have you tried driving around with it on yet? My initial thinking is that unless you have a really heavy back blade you'll be looking for more rear ballast.
