New Grapple exceeds expectations

[Kytractor]

I just received my new Anbo GRS 72 Grapple last Thursday and took it to the farm to clean up some trees to make bush hogging a little easier. I must say it's built like a tank. Ran into a solid rock that practically stalled my L45. I got off real quick expecting to see several bent tines and to my amazement there was hardly a scratch. Moved a lot of downed trees, uprooted several and even found a new use trimming some pine trees that had grown close together making it impossible to mow between. Spent around 2 and a half days total. Like many of TBN grapple users, I love my new Grapple!!!

Looks great! If you're anything like the rest of us, you'll keep finding new uses for your grapple to the point you'll soon wonder how you ever got along without it. Congrats on your purchase!

Ok, officially jealous...

Thanks, the tree trimming didn't even cross my mind.

Looks great, what is the weight of it?

 

[teampryor]

Nice attachment. I also considered the anbo in a recent grapple purchase.

Real nice!

Kytractor - looks great...how much does that beast weigh?

 

[Kytractor]

Thanks guys the grapple was supposed to weigh 780 and came in about 860 according to the invoice

An 860 lb. grapple sounds awfully heavy for a 45 hp tractor, but if you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

 

[murphy1244]

That is heavy.

 

[bironacad]

Might be a bit heavy for my tractor which is a 45 horse as well but it seems to be working for you and that is what counts. I think my max loader lift is 2000 lbs but you have to remove all the weight of the implements and such, much like the payload of a pickup truck you have to remove the weight of tools, hitch and passengers from the payload, go figure.

No it's not too heavy at all.The Web site says 780 Lbs, The invoices says 880 Lbs. It could be a typo. It didn't fail too lift any thing that I tried it on including some pretty large trees that I thought might be trouble. My lift is close to 2900 Lbs. I accidentally hit some large rock in the ground harder than when I bent my Woods box blade shanks completely under. Thought for sure I messed up the grapple but I couldn't tell I hit anything. I would have hated to have to take it to a welding shop after the first day. So I'm glad I chose the heavier grapple. For my use I 'm extremely pleased with it.

Anbo also makes a 72 that is 370 Lbs that could be a better fit.

How much KY?? I would like one very similar for my compact track loader.

$3,873.25 Delivered. It's a great Grapple.

As long as your are a satisfied customer, that's what counts.

Suggest you have adequate counter weight at all times.

Thanks! I'll have to look into getting one. That price isn't as high as I was expecting.
