Grapple Anbo Grapple anybody know about these?

[dex3361]

I just got a new to me (used) Anbo grapple. I was going to build one but run across this deal and needed to use it now. Its a GRM 66" and I would describe it as a grapple rake. I will post some pics later today. Any info would be appreciated.

They seem to be the Lexus of grapples and if I recall correctly from when I was in the market for a grapple, the tines are made of a hardened steel when almost everyone else uses regular steel. They were about 50% more that the W R Long I bought and I just couldn't justify the diff for occasional use. They seemed very nice and I can't imagine there are a lot of used ones for sale.

Anbo is top-of-the-line.
I'm looking at them for some time in the future....if my lotto ticket pays off!

As I understand it they are '$pen$ive !!!
Someone did a shopping comparo a year or three back, the Piranah (spelling ?) came out almost as good for a lot less money.

My Anbo Grapple is about four years old and still going strong!

Mine is a 66" too.

They are heavy but they take a beating.

Temporarily installed the Anbo Grapple until I figure out how to mount the Hyd. quick connects in the front. Seems to be strong enough and the dog was a little impatient and didn't want to take time to get pics and griped that the safety police would complain about the FEL raised and the risk of a flop over. I let him know right off the bat who was boss and that I would post that it was a pose for pics only and they would understand.

Randall, Very nice looks like you won't need that metal saw. you have to make us jealous. . . what did you pay for that bad boy?

I bought a rear blade for the BX1500 for $1500 and they threw the grapple in for free (including delivery).

Now, you're toying with us. Say it ain't so. . .

Maybe I have it backwards. A dyslexic moment perhaps.
