The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!!!

[IslandTractor]

$2150 out the door and 50# heavier than my bucket. I think I did pretty good.

How much does your bucket weigh??

600# It's a 3/4 yard 84" utility bucket with a 3/4" thick cutting edge and double back wall. I can move about 3,000# of gravel in a single scoop without ballast.

Thought it must be something big. I imagine the typical 60-72" CUT bucket weighs about 300, maybe a few pounds more. Replacing a 300 lb bucket with 350lb grapple wouldn't change much but a 650lb grapple would take a pretty good bite out of lift capacity.

You always come back with CUT's...

I bought my full size utility tractor to use for loader work and pulling logs. 300# either way, doesn't mean much from the seat.

Vast majority of folks on TBN have CUTs. Fully agree that 300lbs either way on a utility tractor with over 3000lbs lift capacity is bupkis.

Here's a review that was just submitted by Tim in NC. He has our 50" Single Lid Wicked Grapple.

"I've had this grapple for two years, using on a New Holland TC33 and could not be more pleased with it. I've done some very heaving lifting and moving of brush, logs, etc. that were right at the capacity of my tractor and the grapple is still good as new. The teeth still line up as good as the day it was new - no bending or warping at all."

Yep, you are right, on the V417, my 1180 pound grapple is bupkis, but I had to look it up:

bupkis (also bupkes, bupkus, bubkis, bubkes): emphatically nothing, as in He isn't worth bupkis (indeterminate, either 'beans' or 'goat droppings', possibly of Slavic, Vlach, or Greek origin; cf. Polish bobki 'animal droppings')
