</font><font color="blue" class="small">( What is the opinion on these grapples that are much narrower than the bucket? )</font>
I like the small grapple with my rock bucket. I can pull the pins and snatch the jaws and cylinder off because they just weigh around 50 lb. Also, I have yet to find anything I can't clamp down on enough to lift with my narrow jaw including rocks that were so big my loader would hardly lift them. I didn't want to do a lot of welding, so buying the grapple as-is was ideal for me. For someone else, they may completely different needs and abilities. You just have to suit your own situation and use. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
