New grapple design with no 3rd function needed.

Have pallet forks. One of my 1st attachments. Work fairly well but there are time a grapple would be useful.

I just looked into this and it might be a good solution for me. Would save about $1,200.00.

Has anyone actually tried this particular grapple? Installation looks simple.

I emailed them on that plate that mounts on the FEL. Wanted to know if it stays after removing the grapple. Said it stays with not ill effect on the FEL. Waiting on another reply on shipping time. Am leaning toward ordering one. Am running out of room for storing my attachments.

If you do please give a report. I just called for the price and it would save me about $1,200+ and would be plenty for what I need.

Yes, it would save me some bucks going this route. My forks do pretty good but using this would eliminate me getting off my tractor to center or strap stuff down so it doesn’t fall off. Hmmmm. Said it would take about a week after payment is confirmed. Have to think about this purchase a bit. Would be nice if someone on the forum bought one to give us a good review.

It's still 'pinned on' in my eyes. Yes you hang the main body on the SSQA, but then you still have to install the rod and the two turnbuckle links to make it work.

3rd functions are so readily available now, and at reasonable prices (in my view anyway) there is just no need for these. Seems to be solving a problem that does not exist.

Just my opinion anyway, worth what you paid for it.

I was quoted $1600 to install a 3rd function for my 1880. Then another $2000 for a grapple. This grapple would save me allot of bucks. But still want a real review from someone who bought one and actually used it.

YOU can do it for 1/2 that most likely.
