ANBO GRAPPLE ON L-39

[WALT]

Christmas came today for me, as I picked up my ANBO grapple mounted on my L-39
I used the W.R. LONG valve kit to operate the grapple. It works smooth & strong. I tried it out this evening moving rocks & stumps and it was fantastic. I'll attach some photo's

I have the same grapple that I purchased from Skid Steer Solutions. I think they just resell that brand. IMHO it the best grapple on the market. Your going to love it.

I use it for everything.

Pick up trees
Dig up trees
clean roots
Back drag it and level a bad spot in a gravel road
digging big rocks after Bh gets them loose
loading anything
demo of wood and tin structures

Thats great Walt. Nice setup.

Nice rig. Your L39 is looking very mean on the picture #2.

Have fun

Walt,

WOW! That's awesome.....I must have one. That looks so well matched to the L39. Does it overwhelm the loader at all? A guy told me you can lift so much stuff it makes the loader tippy when you lift a big grab. Be careful lifting things high....Standard be careful policy.

Can you tell us how much it weighs and roughly what she cost delivered?

Nice place Walt. That driveway looks so well maintained. You gotta love a finely maintained drive /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Now you need a nice box scraper for the hind end.

Could you attach some photos of the control set-up? I also want a grapple and have been debating between a diverter switch on the joy stick verses a separate valve.

Here's how they did mine.

From what I was told this is the Joystick off a Speedy Loader Welded to the Kubota Valve?

Very nice Walt, that is exactly what I'll be getting next for our L-39 too, now that we have the FEL remote and the rear hydraulics too.

Couple of questions:

What size is the one which you have? 5 or 6 foot?

Does the Quick Attach fit right onto the Kubota with no problem?

 

[Muleskinner]

hey wait a minute. How did you get the instrument cluster in that position instead of on the right fender? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Also, that's not an L39 FEL and hood, nor does the L39 come with HST. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[FL_Cracker]

That's right, L5030HST R4 would be the correct machine.

Just showing off the loader remotes......

Now I guess that means you know your stuff about orange metal....

 

[SkyPup]

Did you have any problem with the Kubota Quick Attach and the ANBO Grappler or did it fit properly?

 

[FL_Cracker]

NO, went right on the first time and every time. It's a heavy grapple and my dealer thought I should trade it for a smaller, lighter grapple but I really like the design and how wide it opens. So I stayed with it and know I can't lift as much as I could with a smaller grapple but it's done erverything I want including a 30" x 12 1/2' White Pine Log...

Thanks allot, I'm going to get the heavy duty 66" model, it sure is a nice piece of equipment.

 

[SkyPup]

Thanks allot for the advice Walt and FL Cracker, I ordered the heavy duty 66" Grappler today from Skidsteer Solutions! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
