"Add-A-Grapple" For Compact Tractor Buckets
 ✖  |
"Our new add-on grapple fork can turn any compact tractor's loader bucket into an inexpensive grapple that works great for removing brush, debris, and other hard-to-handle material. It can quickly be removed, allowing you to use the bucket for other jobs," says Bill Reed, Precision Mfg., Sedalia, Mo.
The grapple fork is designed for compact tractors equipped with either a 5 or 6-ft. wide bucket. It comes with a telescoping mounting frame that attaches to each side of the bucket with four bolts. The frame is designed to accept either single or double grapples. A single grapple measures 28 in. wide. A pair of 2 by 6 hydraulic cylinders are supplied.
The grapple can be quickly detached from the mounting frame by removing a couple of hitch pins. It works great for piling tree limbs and brush.
"The grapple fork has curved teeth for a wider grip and easy release," says Reed. "If you're just picking up some logs a single grapple is all you need. However, if you want to pick up loose brush or restack loose hay, you'll want a double grapple because it can grab more material," he notes.
A single grapple fork sells for $500; a double, $850. An optional selector valve kit is available for tractors without an extra set of hydraulic outlets. It sells for $450.
