I got a 4 in 1 bucket with my L3540 but I'm seriously thinking about trading it off for a grapple bucket, whatcha think?
4 in 1 bucket or Grapple??
- Thread starter A.O.
- Start date
I vote for both.
this link is good for showing uses for the 4 in 1 bucket. plus you need a bucket. (if the link doesn't work search "John Deere Frontier 60" 4 in 1 Bucket" in youtube.

I bought a grapple and used the root rake portion which is good for final land preparation. I picked up a couple of nice size rocks with it. And then I used it to pick up the used 4 in 1 bucket I bought which was dropped at the street. I think the 4 in 1 will ultimately prove more useful, but next year will tell.

I have both on my ASV RC30. Different buckets for different jobs... Grapple is better for general cleanup of stuff that is longer than the width of the bucket. 4n1 is better for small stuff, and pulling out fence posts. Depends on what you are doing with the tractor, I guess...
I have the same tractor, and a Grappler. Best tool I have for summer time. It is great for everything, including cutting wood without having to bend down.
A friend of mine has a grapple with solid bottom like a bucket. He uses it all the time cleaning out his barn. Push into a pile just like a bucket then close the grapple. Works great.
