Grapple MTL eBay Inexpensive Root Rake Grapple

I ordered this one yesterday: MTL Attachments Compact Tractor Skid Steer 48 Root Rake Grapple Bucket-Free Ship | eBay

I'll let y'all know how it works out. It may be a bit small for my tractor but I am hoping it will hold up.

With a weight of 350 lbs I will have plenty of lift left in the loader.

I know little about tractor hydraulics. I called my Mahindra dealer, one of the service guys I spoke with told me the two quick disconnects at the back of my tractor would not work, would not work like a third function. I thought one quick disconnect would be power beyond and the other return to tank but he said it was not. I forgot what all he told me.

I keep poking around on this forum and will get enough info to be dangerous!

My Mahindra has a BH; when that's not attached, the two hoses (which are part of the PB loop, and feed the three-point) must be plugged together. Since I've replaced my FEL valve with one with an extra valve, my old valve can be plugged into the rear loop, as long as I add a third hose for a true return.

Johnnyred, I hope you like your new tool. I'm definitely interested in how it works out for you. I dont know if it will impact your order, but Cliff at MTL told me he was out until January 2.

JonnyRed - did you get the MTL 48? I'm looking at the same thing for my JD 4600 with 460 loader. What size is your CUT?

Anybody have any other updates on their MTL grapples?

I love my dual lid 60". Have used it numerous times since the ice and last hurricane with tree cleanup.

Last use was Friday, when I used the curved end of the upper jaw inverted to demount a tire from its rim.

Love to hear the unconventional use! I'll keep that tucked away in my mind just in case I need to change a stubborn tire in the future!

So I have become lazier since getting my grapple. Better than taking the grapple on and off!

Seriously though, my MTL 66” has been holding up great. I have really used the snot out of it as well. For $1k, there is nothing to complain about here.

I am planning on getting the same one when I upgrade in a few weeks. For under $1000 delivered it is very affordable. Hard to justify spending double or more for part time use around the homestead.
