None at the moment, looking to purchase in the next 3 months
Good Morning All, I am looking for a cost effective way to pick up lots of brush and limbs/trees on the ground and move them to another area on the property (I have 20 acres). The obvious choice is a grapple hook but the finances are not there at the moment. My tractor dealer quoted me a Tine Bucket this morning for $1800.00. Seems a bit high but I am considering it. I also ran across clamp on debris tines from Vevor at a much lower cost. Just wanted to get some opinions of those that may have purchased items from Vevor ?

For background info I am using and LS MT2 35. Currently only have the front end loader for the front of the tractor. It is a pain manually loading the FEL up with limbs and then having to break or cut up the ones that are too big to fit.

Thank you in advance!
Mike

Just having the clamp on debris tines from Vevor is not going to help much....maybe double the branches per load. With a grapple, you can curl forward and compress way more debris and grab it with the grapple lid. Even a simple single lid bold on grapple would be an improvement.

did hurricane cleanup with forks, it worked, but I quickly bought a grapple. If you see yourself staying on that 20 acre property for a while and see moving brush as a reoccurring task, really consider the grapple and of course the additional expense of the 3rd function. Just being able to grab and not needing to stack things before moving is a huge benefit for me.

Agree....what would take me and wife all day moving limbs to burn pile (trailer) I could do in an hour with a grapple. Once you learn how to make piles and pick them up, it goes very fast.

I have bucket tines from Rankin - $400. This setup works great when I have the bucket on the FEL and need to gather up brush and limbs.

Does not work as well as my grapple ( $4500 including WR Long third function ) but not nearly as expensive ( $400 ).

I converted the "clamp on" tines to a permanent installation. Four HD bolts all the way thru the bucket.
