Travis,

Would it be too much trouble for you to make me a 54", but with the outer two tines removed? Make the next ones inboard the outer tines? Effectively make a 48" or whatever it would be? Like get rid of what I've outlined in red?

That would not work because the quick attach hitch on the back extends beyond the tines that you're talking about.

You wouldn't say that if you had one!!

Oh I'm sold on the line-up you guys offer. I was just hoping for a couple less tines to push into the dirt and squeeze into tight spaces. Will the 50" be getting the new geometry and 37" opening?

The 50" will remain as is. The best choice for a Boomer 50 is the 54" if you want to keep it narrow. You should be able to push it through the ground with ease, especially with our unobstructed tine design.

Could you leave the square tubing just long enough to carry the quick attach, but get rid of the outside tines and the bit of round tube that connects them? Say yes, Travis. Look into my eyes. You are getting sleeeeeeepy. You can only hear the sound of my voice. Now say, "Yes I'm ready to take your order right now."

It appears really simple if you're quickly glancing at it, but it's not quite that simple.
I can explain it easier by talking than typing, but notice that the end tine is designed/cut differently than the next....at the top and on the bottom(no holes).

The end tines are made different to provide extra strength in case you hit something. The next tine in is cut different on the top to provide support to the top of the quick attach bracket.

If these were cookie cutter grapples with a simple design, it'd probably not be hard to do. The laser is programmed to cut all of the components.
These grapples are works of art....very useful and fine tuned works of art that aren't easily altered!

Oh, you don't think the inboard tines are strong enough to serve as outboard tines, even with the holes? I mean you guys did up them from 5/16 to 3/8 right? You could just move the extra thick toothed tip plate in, couldn't you?

Does anyone else here see where i'm coming from?

We're talking maybe 2" difference on each side.
