    So you want a grapple

    Been thru the game of Metric vs SAE threads many times before. . . . . .getting the Metric parts can be difficult. Americans get confused by metric wrenches . . . . . . . let alone parts. No backhoe in my future. My tractor decision is between Kubota B2601 vs BX2680 vs TYM T25 with...

    Show me a similar priced kit for for a Kubota BX or B series . .. . .. . and then I will be impressed. All I have been able to find low priced is "partial" kits. Most people don't have the skills or resources to complete partial kits.

    Looking at a new BX2680 ??

    Check into "Less Than a Truckload" shippers. Fed Ex might even be able to handle it ?? I recently paid $300 tor a 1500 lb shipment from New England to Florida, But then diesel is twice of what it was then . . . .. . thanks to tRump.

    Many people would like a Grapple, but are crushed by the cost of the Grapple and adding a 3rd function control. I suggest you look a the "Brush Crusher" line by Westendorf. It does not require a third function control. They seem to be plentiful on the marketing web pages...
