Sorry for a simplistic, I'm sure well discussed thread. . . But, I'm new and need some good input.
I Really wanted to get the Artillian grapple system, but. . . It looks like in need a Diverter Kit installed to operate the dual grapples. At least today I saw a video of a guy installing one. I was smart enough to get the 3rd function valve installed before delivery, but I didn't know about a diverter kit. I am not confident that I could install a diverter kit properly and I don't really want to spend any more money than I have to. So that leaves me to looking at other brands. I have googled and read threads on TBN and YouTubed the heck out of "Best Grapples." So that leaves me asking questions. I know asking which grapple I should get is like asking what tractor I should get. Different grapples for different folks for different needs. I will be using it mainly for moving brush, rocks and logs. I like the idea of the dual grapple system, but I don't know if you need a diverter kit for all of them. I've looked at websites of Titan, EA, Quick Attach, MTL, and others. I want USA built. OK, here are some questions.
1) General thoughts on grapple brands.
2) What size grapple would be best for my MX5400
3) Dual Grapples or Single Lid. . . That is unless I need a diverter kit.
4) Any other thoughts.
Thanks. . .
