So you want a grapple

[FloridaBoy32780]

Many people would like a Grapple, but are crushed by the cost of the Grapple and adding a 3rd function control. I suggest you look a the "Brush Crusher" line by Westendorf. It does not require a third function control. They seem to be plentiful on the marketing web pages.

The model BC4215 with the center teeth are 238 pounds. The model BC4200 without the center teeth is a little less

Actually you have it reversed on weight, the 4200 is without the extra teeth and weighs 238.
The 4215 has the extra teeth and weighs 285.

Here's a review

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.

As I get closer to buying a tractor, I think more about delaying the purchase of a grapple. It will always be high on my want list, But I am at $16K to $18.5K on the tractor and it is at the limit of my budget for this year. A used quick attach, ajustable pallet fork may be in my future ($300- $650 locally)

How much does this thing cost?

MSRP: is near $3200, but you can find it discounted at dealers. Seen several in the $2500 range on web pages nearing the end of the year.
