Grapple ideas and how are these companies?

   / Grapple ideas and how are these companies? #61  
I'm shooting for 1 about 55" or so. My tractor will be about 64" wide.

Since most of my work will be trees and brush, I'm thinking a root grapple with 2 lids.

Here was my final spreadsheet of all the stats with prices I researched if its helpful as a reference for anyone. I got the Virnig 48" dual lid (green font). The color highlights were characteristics that were important. Green was for best in category, yellow not so good, orange highlight was usually a deal breaker for a product, red was an absolute no. I crossed through some products as I ruled them out. Thanks for the help.

Most of those prices are insane, lol. But... one of those prices is... not like the others. I love my MTL.

I figure my L2501 would break before I could break my MTL 48" grapple. If it were any bigger, the weight would eat into my lifting capacity, and the 48" does everything I need for the size tractor I have.

Thanks for the chart. I opted for the Homestead Pinnacle 55” which was delivered yesterday. IMO, just right size for the DK5310. The military discount is a nice option too.

I think you will be very happy with the grapple, that is the same one that I have.
