Glad you guys like my pics, I love that grapple. It's great for all the firewood I process!

Question, why is the back center section of almost all grapples open?
If it is for visibility then wouldn't expanded metal welded in this area provide protection for the tractor and still provide visibility once the bucket is lifted above the hood?
One of the first things that disturbed me while using a grapple was a limb headed straight for the hoses while clearing brush.
drew a circle around the area in question.

Visibility and weight savings are the two reasons I know of. Adding expanded metal to the tractor grille guard has been a very popular, widespread mod.
