First post here. I have a new to me B2650 Cab model with SSQA loader, it is my first tractor. I need (want if you ask the wife) a stump bucket and grapple to clear ~4 acres. So I thought why not just get the two together as one implement.
The closest Stump/grapple to fitting my tractor I was able to find is this (Titan Mini Skid steer Stump Bucket) one. It's made for a mini skid steer, the type that you stand up on to operate. The specs of these mini skid steers, Toro/Dingo's, seems relatively close to the B2650, though it is not apples to apples.
Of course (why would it ever be easy?) this Stump/grapple has a toro/dingo style connector, so I would need to buy the unit, cut off its connector, and weld it to something like this (SSQA universal mounting plate).
The Stump/grapple weighs ~250 lbs and the mounting plate is ~60 lbs.
Some questions:
1. Are there any other Stump/grapples that I missed that would be a better fit for a B2650?
2. Does this seem like a bad idea? the implement would weigh 300 lbs +, is this too much for the tractor? Most of the trees ill be clearing are smaller (<10" diameter cedars), and I will mostly be moving brush around with the grapple.
Any other thoughts, or things I should be considering?
Thanks!
