Anyone order or try a precision manufacturing mini 322 grapple? Seems like a nice fit for smaller tractors at 57" wide and around 250lbs. Next to the wicked grapple it's the lightest grapple I've seen for smaller machines. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Can't vouch for their grapple but I bought their tree shear years ago. The company was good to work with.

I've seen them display at several regional farm equipment shows- Indianapolis and Louisville, so you might ask if they will be at any near you if you're not in a hurry.

Tractor Time with Tim on Youtube has videos using the prototype. Its gray and sort of looks like a wicked grapple, but that particular one has the two sides operate independently.

That's actually where I first had seen it and then in his latest gift ideas episode he announced who from and the availability. I agree that it shares many of the same design elements of the EA wicked grapples which I'm sure are related to weight cutting while maintaining strength. EA is pretty well chronicalled for the durability and construction of their equipment here but I simply have never heard of precision manufacturing and their products to have an opinion.

I’m impressed with this grapple. I strongly prefer a double clamp grapple.

$200 off with a mention of TTWT.

You can now order them online at AgFolks

Would be interested in hearing your feedback on that website. They just got it up and running.

I have had a Precision MFG bucket grapple since 2005. It was mounted on a MF 1528 until 2018 and it is now on a Kubota L2501. This is the one with a single clamp and it is a little small for the 66 inch bucket on the Bota. However it has been without a doubt the best money ever spent on a tractor attachment. I have move thousands of buckets of brush and tree trunks. I use it when moving dirt and the pile has packed down. I open it up and pull the pile to make it easier to scoop up the dirt. I then close it to retain the dirt in the bucket as I transport the dirt. After all these years there is a little bend in the tines but it still works. It is better then 2 thumbs up.

What grade steel are the tines made from? I looked at their website but didn't see it mentioned, I like the overall design.

I do not know the grade of the steel. I know that I have abused the heck out of the grapple and it still works. It works so well I can not understand why people pay for a true grapple. The price of this thing was < $700 when I bought mine. And yes I know it is not a root/rock rake.

OK, since you asked, the Website doesn't work well on my Apple Mac pro running Mojave iOS 10.14.3. That's pretty much up to date. Their AgFolks site isn't working well enough now to show off their products - which do look interesting from what you can barely see, but hard to figure out just what they are, or supposed to be, or even just how they are supposed to work.

The web site needs some work. It crashed on me - which I haven't seen happen in years. So it isn't yet completely stable. There is a kind of dark overlay on the screen which gives the effect of trying to look through a dirty window, and there's some sort of pulsing light in the center. Internal links may or may not work....it's kinda hard to tell. See attachment below.

Bottom line is that they need to put some work into the website. Right now it's not good enough to evaluate their products.
I'm sorry to the bearer of bad news on the website effort, but glad to hear you are impressed with their grapple. I also prefer the double clamp style. And from what little I can see, these seem well built.
