Thanks for the info on the grapple. The brochure has ATI all over it, but it's Frontier. I'm guessing there's all sorts of affiliations going on in the industry. I will keep an eye on those bolts. Any issues with the bucket pan bending or warping with heavy use?
GreatWhite...I have the 18" HD bucket...(very stout), but according to Sundown, the UAT200 is designed for a larger BH. I found this out through my dealer today after I noticed some sizing issues with the thumb. Make sure if you get one to be careful about it's placement on your dipperstick. If welded strictly by the instructions, your thumb (when in stowed position) bracket will hit your boom before the dipperstick can fully retract into position by a few inches. You can shorten the bracket or have the thumb welded a few inches further down the dipperstick, but your thumb will extend several inches past your bucket teeth. I'm working a solution with my dealer who is supportive and will keep you up to speed on what happens. Weigh your options carefully before deciding on your thumb. I can submit a few pics to illustrate if any of you want to see the problem.
