New guy here to forum.......just buying first Kubota. Been trying to do some reserach of implements to add on. One that struck my fancy was Artillion. Is it worth the extra coin for say grapple model or even pallet forks. Wonder if anyone runs these on their Kubota? Seems more like a JD friendly company.

Artillian might be a little over-hyped on YouTube. It is a good system, but it isn't perfect.
The artillian grapple is heavy by comparison, esp when every pound matters on a BX, about 270 pounds. The Artillian style is more of a box frame, so grabbing small quantities of loose material with it can be a little tricky. I use netting to allow it to pick up small things like leaves and oak branch pods, it does well with trees, limbs and brush.
I think their implements work best for people without SSQA. The artillian system is kind of a pain, you are taking stuff off their adapter plate, and putting stuff on by hand. This is defeating the purpose of having SSQA. This is why I would never use them for forks.
They claim their forks are the lightest in the business, they arent.
I do love their mini stump bucket. I dont use it often, but it's really handy when needed. It beats storing another implement on a big frame, and its only like $300. In this case I like the system, the grapple is used all the time, but in the rare event I need the stump bucket, i can swap it out in 5 minutes and its not consuming any storage space.

I have a B3030 and I'm looking for some light forks with SSQA. What is lighter than Artillian frame/forks?
Maybe HLA ?
First decide on length you need
Then whether a 'high back ' gauard is needed
Then compare 'apples to apples'......
