Hard to say as when it comes to steel - you have to compare apples to apples.

I just purchased a 48 inch Light Duty Grapple Rake from Markham Welding.

Sizes to choose from 48" or 60"
3 x 3 x ｼ wall Square Tubing
30 Top tine, although it is considered LD it can still grab large amounts of debris.
38?40 opening
2 ｽ Schedule 40 Pipe
3/8 Top and Bottom Tines
1 ｼ Pins and Bushings
Single Cylinder American Made Repack-able
Designed for Tractors and small skid steers with the universal skid steer attachment

I paid $1024 delivered for the unit.

You may want to check the steel size and compare to markham at:

That is the link to their grapple bucket, but you'll have to call them for pricing.

66" is about perfect size for your tractor.
$1700 is an incredible price for a bobcat bucket, just go price them new, they are built very nice your tractor should love it... KennyV
