Grab Hooks on a Grapple

[DustyRusty]

I was thinking of adding grab hooks to my grapple. What are your thoughts on doing this? Does anyone have pictures of grapples with hooks or rings?

No different than hooks on a bucket.

I added a 2" receiver to mine.

Just in case I needed to move a trailer real quick, but for some strange reason I elected to not add hooks......yet.

Whatever floats your boat and works for you!

A chain and sling seems to work well on my grapple, plenty of areas to sling onto without adding clevises or hooks.

I did drill a hole for adding a clevis to my BH ripper when I fabbed it. Haven't used it yet, chain hooks on well there too.

probably depends on the make of grapple and where you weld on the hooks. If I assume they're on the fixed side,close to the hinge points..'should' be 'ok', maybe..... Might (should ? ) be easy to just hook the hook onto the grapple frame there ??? Or even loop the chain around and grab itself ?
The hooks on a bucket(welded, bolted,slide on) are strong since they are really close to the SSQA mount.
