When it comes to pulling power or spinning the tires, having a gear transmission is the difference between night and day for these tractors.

Haven't been on here for a while, but I got the 54" Kioti grapple. It's really overbuilt for this size machine, I think I'd damage the loader arms before the grapple. It will snap off fairly large autumn olive trunks/limbs just closing the jaws, and stuff under 4" or so I can pull out of the...

Got the 3rd function installed this morning. It was much easier than I thought it would be. Only problem I ran into was the valve bracket bolts were threaded different than the holes in the loader mount mast. Had some hardware on hand that worked so no biggie.

Went ahead and got the Kioti 3rd function kit. Dealer had it in stock for $800. Planning on getting the Kioti grapple when they get their next truck in to simplify shipping. Hopefully the mowing slows down so I can get the kit installed soon.

The web is really lacking when it comes to good info regarding most of the stuff I'm interested in for my CX.

That does look like a pretty heavy unit. I'm looking at a short bottom tine design that closes tight for the kind of stuff I want to do most. It also keeps the weight down for my baby tractor. 😉

Concerning the width I could get by with a 48" but I like the idea of being a bit wider than the tires if I'm driving into a track I'm clearing out in brush/vines. Probably just over thinking it. 🤔

I checked out the IronCraft (Titan Implements) units my dealer just got in and was not impressed. They apparently sell well due to the price but fit and finish were poor, and the design is not really what I want. I'm leaning hard towards the Kioti 54" since I can get the grapple and third...

Dealer can get the 54" Kioti for $1600 and the Kioti 3rd function is $1000 installed. They also sell a Titan/Iron Craft grapple for $1200. As much as I like the EA design, the price difference is significant. The Kioti 3rd function does have a nice handle . 🤔

Thanks. Was looking at the 54 and 48 inch Kioti models. 😊 Plan on swinging by the dealer today and check on pricing. Still have to add 3rd function hydraulics and haven't made up my mind which route I want to go with that either.

I have a Kioti CX2510 and really want to add a grapple. I've been looking at the EA Wicked 55 and the lighter Kioti models but was wondering if anyone had thoughts on the best width. Stability is an issue with this machine at times due to the narrow track width but I think the grapple should...
