I have a JD 990, and I am admittedly a newb. The tractor has a loader and I would like to get a grapple for it. What is involved? It will need another hydraulic remote right?
Grapple add? JD 999

I should be able to help you out.
What is your loader model number?
Does it have the Deere quick attach mount with hooks on top and pegs on the bottom?

GREAT!
Short and easy answer...
Grapple: Wicked 55 Root Rake Grapple is just over 200 pounds and will be simply amazing on your tractor!
Valve kit: Custom 3rd function valve kit by WR Long is easy to install with over 260 customer reviews on the website!
$50 off when you buy them together.
To elaborate a bit...
What makes my grapple choice the absolute best?
The Wicked 55 rake style grapple has been amazingly popular and effective on subcompact and small compact tractors under 40 horsepower. It really ups a tractor's ability if it is starving for lift capacity. We don稚 just claim it to be strong, we tested it on our Kubota L6060(60hp tractor) and put it out there for the world to see!
Our Wicked Root rake grapples are really the most versatile and popular grapple offerings in our lineup. Besides being lightweight for the intended machines, the unique combination of premium materials we use makes them incredibly strong!
The dozer-like tine geometry of the rake style promotes a tractor's ability to push the tines through the ground with ease and the design keeps the load as close to your loader pivot pins as possible to MAXIMIZE lift capacity like none other.
The root rake style allows you to pull brush, vines and other debris backwards, which isn't recommended with many long bottom grapples. Besides pulling backwards, you can also pull down. Reach up and snap a limb off the tree if you feel like it.
The root rake style will easier "unload", so you can hover over the trailer, dumpster, pile, etc., open it up and whatever you've captured is gone!
Visual evidence...
Check out how CLOSE to the pivot pins our design will keep the load. This is a HUGE lift maximizing trait.
