Grapple which is the best single piston fork grapple?

[Xfaxman]

There seems to be 3-4 kinds of grapples with a single piston coming down on forks. I am going to use it for picking up limbs and brush mainly from cutting trees down. I have a CK 35 Kioti QA and my lift is 1600lbs on a woods loader. Any one got an idea which one might be better?

Are you talking about pallet forks?

If not this pretty well covers it. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/276415-type-grapple-best-suited.html

I purchased 14' of 3/8 hydraulic hose from discount hydraulic lines. Island tractor gave me some very good advice, he recommended 90 degree fittings at the rear remotes. I used pioneer fittings at the remotes and skid steer fittings at the grapple end. If a buddy wants to use it on a skid steer the fittings should work without changing them. The hoses, Teflon puddy and fittings was less than $200.

For my ck35, I purchased the 48" grapple from Titan (palletforks.com). I also purchased a set of the 42" quick attatch forks with it and got a SUBSTANTIAL discount by ordering both. No problems with either so far.

Nice chat the other day. I think I'm going with what you did for 2 reasons. 1. If I need a fork I would have to hook up the hoses to use the combo one. 2. Its cheaper if I can get your deal. I have called them twice and cant seem to get a person. I will keep trying and waiting for for phtos to see which grapple you got. Randy
