Need help deciding on a grapple

[k0ua]

My grapple came in yesterday... I am really impressed with the packaging and how fast they shipped it... I ended up ordering 1/2" jic hoses and QDs at the loader and at the torque tube... UPS says it will be delivered by Thursday... Ill post pics of the install process and more importantly a few action pics when I'm done? Thanks to all who offered advice and helped me make my decision!!

Good deal, looking forward to see how it all goes together and works out for you.

Glad it arrived. Titan packages nicely, often in a steel frame. My Wildkat came balanced on a pallet, no strapping or protection whatsoever. Neither one was damaged in any way. Please post pictures when you have them.

Had not seen this manufacturer before. Not your typical grapple, but they are interesting.

That is a very heavy grapple built for skid steer use in collecting scrap or rock or construction debris. It would be a lousy general purpose CUT grapple.

Understand and you are correct. However, not everyone is limited to CUTs.

I was referring to the one at the top of the home page.

WOW 9 pages, I dropped out reading at about pg 5, anyway to the OP if you have not bought yet, I have a 84" root rake grapple from Loflin in NC and it is on a 115 hp skid steer with a 7500# tipping load & steel tracks. That is a bunch more loader effort than most mid size tractors have to offer. I've ripped, pryed, pushed & twisted that poor rake for about 9 years! Loflin Fabrication
I managed to tweek one of the grapples a bit but other than hose's, not one complaint. Not sure on your "euro" quick attach availability.

Ok, so looking for a grapple as well and was looking at the Wickeds. Yet no one on here seems to have one...
Lots of Longs and others but I have yet to see anyone whose bought one.
