Hey guys, Sorry about the Yelling my wife types with the "caps lock" on thinks it's easier to read? O'h well I leaned something new. I'm going to plumb it off the rear remotes. I got most the fittings today. Thats a learning experience, JIC,NPTM,NPTF,NPSM,BULKHEAD FITTINGS ,3/8",1/2',#6,#8 now I should be YELLING! Hopfully those bars between the tines will hold up they are 1/2"x2" and notched into the tines not laid against them. Check out the center V on the bottom tines it is cut like a knife edge. Nice talkin, Frenchie.

All caps reminds me of trying to read Naval Messages. They are royal pain in the back side. Most of the time I try and ignore them.

Let us know how you like it, once you get it hooked up. I live in Florida, and am considering one of these.

Easier to read? You bet! I skipped over your entire post. I don't read posts in all cap. What could be easier?

Frenchie - Who did you buy that frpm .... it looks alot like one I bought from John Lynne, Lynne Welding, in Perry, FL., who has been making Grapples from day 1. Mine is larger and is used on my JD 6420.
