Pallet Fork Grapple

[PCABE5]

Any of you have a pallet fork grapple? If so what brand and what do you think of it?

I'm looking at one myself and I'd like to see what others think of them.

I mounted a thumb on my Titan Pallet Forks, it works pretty good, not nearly as good as a grapple would, but it gets the job done!
If I could do it over I would buy just the pallet forks and put the extra money towards a grapple. If you need forks and can only buy one attachment then get the pallet fork grapple!

Thanks Underdog. I have a set of pallet forks and they are one of the best attachments IMO. One of my uses is I use them for occasional tree and brush cleanup and my thought would be adding this to my pallet forks would cut down some time for me. I don't really have a need for a full grapple but this may be a good compromise and expanding the use of the forks.

My pallet forks with single matching grapple is my best buy.

I like the single grapple better, because I can slide my forks closer together to pick up medium sized rocks and for other jobs where I need the forks together.

I've used a dedicated grapple a lot in the past and there's nothing my pallet forks/grapple won't do that the grapple can, and on top of that, the pallet forks will do a LOT more than a dedicated grapple.

I've probably posted a hundred pictures in the past, proving it. Mine is ALO brand...

Thanks SR. I'll search for some of your pictures.

My firewood totes are 6 ft high so a fork/grapple set up will not work. I am stuck using two different attachments. If you do not need to every carry a tall pallet load a combined unit makes a lot of sense.

The one I'm looking at comes completely off with two bolts in the matter of a few minutes for that reason. Probably could put it on and off in less than 5 minutes.

For loads too tall that my open grapple gets in the way, I can fold my grapple all the way in, and still use the pallet forks...

Very interesting thread. I wasn’t aware a “pallet grapple” existed. I have a set of pallet forks on order from EA. I also had the 3rd function installed on my new tractor in anticipation of a grapple one day. I’m honestly not sure how much use I have for a grapple but think they are awesome. Put putting a thumb on pallet forks seems like a win-win!! Do you guys have a link where these are available to buy? Recommendations? I’ll be in research mode now.
