Right off the truck... now to work on the 3rd function valve. So far, I'm impressed. :cool2:

very nice, you will be pleased with what you can accomplish with the grapple. did you go with the long 3rd function kit or are you building your own?

For the 3rd function, I'm considering the "Construction Attachments" 3rd function kit. They have a ready to fit kit for the CT 335 which should fit my ct235. Their setup looks cleaner (to me) than the Long kit and I like the "Scorpion" 2 button handle.

Looks like a nice grapple. I am wondering how much it weighs?
You will have fun with that :thumbsup:

I'm considering the NAI grapple as well. How do the SSQA pins fit? Any gaps like some folks have reported on other brands?

Congrats- the grapple is by far the most useful thing I own! I've never heard of nai before, I'll be interested to hear how you like it. I'm sure you will

Quite honestly, I didn't bother to check the pins once I attached the grapple and lowered the handles. I'll check on that and let you know.

Looks like the same style as my WR Long grapple, which I like very much. You two will have a great relationship together :laughing:

Jeff, Attached are the photos of the SSQA pins. I was happy to see that they are tight and extend beyond the bottom of attachment plate by at least 3/4" on each side. The attachement plate is an impressive 1/2". The gussets are 3/8'; the front tube that the tines connect too is 2 3/4" (specs say 2 1/2"); the rear box tube is 3x3 by 1/4"; the plate below the cylinder is 3/8". I'm very happy with the construction of this grapple.

Thanks for the excellent pics. That's good news about the pins.

My last question: what did they charge you for the 60" light duty grapple? I'm looking at the 48" version, minus the couplers plus residential delivery.

Jeff, like you, I'm in Ca. Total cost for this delivered to my door from the east coast was $1240... just a few dollars more than the Palletforks.com 60" grapple. I didn't price the NAI 48". Stella at NAI gave me a $200. discount off the regular price which brought the grapple to $929 + shipping ($311 residential). Stella was good to work with and I'm happy with the purchase. :thumbsup:
