    Grappler Recommendations Please.....

    I've got a land pride sgc1060 and I work it pretty hard on my L4701. Its held up very good so far. It's a single lid top and can be a little difficult to pickup some things like rocks and stumps. I do like the root rake hooks on the bottom for cleaning up bushes and brush. Hope this helps.
