Brush Grapple Project

[DDT]

I built this for someone else, 6ft wide 12in on center teeth, it is for a skid steer.

DDT,

Very impressive unit.

Do you have an idea of approx total weight for the Grapple?

What is the HP/Size Tractor that unit is on?



Any problems with loader lift capacity?






Thinking about building something similar for a TC55 , would like to know the weight of your unit. Before "OverBuilding" my grapple.



Thanks

Looks very effective and a sturdy piece. Would you share some details regarding steel price, # of hours labor, and approximate weight ? Were the lower pieces cut with a plasma ? Thanks jr

Looks similar to the way the WRlong grapple is built.
Nice work!

DDT,
Quite a project you put together. Looks super heavy duty to say the least.
Nice job.

Looks similar to the way the WRlong grapple is built. I have only seen a work saver model, but this one is better.
I have about 40 hours in it. All curved parts were torched and all others was band sawed. I guess it is 1000 lbs, but will get a scale weight of it.
My 5030 will handle it fine but a little heavyer thanI want for it. I plan on building another for my tractor that is lighter. This grapple fits a JD 270(?) skid steer, it is 74" wide at the tires and about 2 tonlift cap.
