Adding a grapple to a 3x20 series

[GreatWhitehunter]

Is there anyone here with a 3x20 series deere with a grapple? I was thinking of looking at the millonzi brand. Are there companys making them to fit the JD quick pins on the 300 series loaders? Or would I have to get a QA skidsteer adapter plate from ATI? Any comments/thoughts/observations would be great. Pics would also be a plus.

Thanks

I was thinking a root grapple ( similar to Islandtractor) I've seen a few post of tractors with grapples on TBN but I haven't seen many Deere and no 3x20 series. Surely someone has a grapple on their 3x20? What size is a good power to wieght ratio? How wide should I want it to open?

You might want to take a look at these from W. R. Long:

And here's the photo gallery page with lots of pictures of the grapple in use:

Another good brand is Loflin. They and WR Long both make really nice grapples, etc. for your application. I think you would like either one--and they are competitive in price. I thought JD/Frontier was also now marketing a grapple to compete with the aftermarket folks, but I am not sure.

Heres a pic of an awesome set up another TBN member has. Maybe he will step forward and claim it and give you the details.

Thanks Dirtworks that is an awesome pic. I can't believe there's no one here with a 3X20 machince willing to step forward. I really like the millonzi. I've been looking at the long's also. I'm really interested in hearing from grapple owners with cuts in the 30-40 hp range.

Thanks

That's because the deere machine is so dang good it doesn't need a grapple. Ha! Ha!

No grapple,but a 4 in 1 bucket on a 3720 w/t 300cx loader and it works great!
