There are two basic types of grapples. Not sure the correct verbage because there dont seem to be a standard cross manufactures.
Basically....there is the type with the long bottom tines. These either have single or dual lids. Dual lids add weight but better for clamping odd shaped stuff as the lids can move independently. They are also better for carrying volume of stuff other than brush. Like stacking firewood in them.
Then there is the rake type with real short tines. Rather than cylinders on top of the lids they are behind and the lids usually open wider. They can have more pry-out force because the tines are shorter. They cannot carry stuff like firewood as easily...but good for rocks and logs.
So you have to decide which type you want. And the L2501 isnt known for a super powerful loader anyway.
The terraforce is 485 pounds. The comparable dual lid 60" wicked is 430 pounds. IF you drop to a single lid wicked grapple 60" you can get down to 382 pounds.
