Grapple for new L2501

[number two]

Getting a new L2501 before months end.
Will be grapple ready.
What does everybody like for smaller grapples?

I see MTL grapples seem to be the price leader.
Everything Attachments and Landpride also out there.

Thank you in advance for your comments!

A thumb and tooth-bar will be cheaper and weigh less;will do 90% of what a full grapple will do.

^^^What he said... I like having the bucket AND a grapple.

I currently have a MTL and have been pleased with it. On my previous tractor (Mahindra 2625) I had a Wild Kat grapple for ten years with no problems.

Bolt On Grapple Single, Dual, Dual X | W.R. Long Inc.

The Bolt On Grapple Single BOG-Single and the Bolt On Grapple Dual BOG-Dual are designed to fit most tractor loader buckets with lift capacities up to 2,200.

Single lid at 143 pounds. It's pretty expensive new but I bought it used for $350, locally. You don't have to beef up your bucket like the thumb.

Also a Link to the Thumb mentioned earlier: Shop Online

You got a good deal .Looking at a few the one that bolton to the bucket is almost the same price as a real grapple i will look around see what out there .

Actually,wife wants the "claw".
So I thought we'd get another tractor that she will use.
She won't go near my tractor-that's OK though.
Go figure!

Thanks for your input.
I've seen several decent reviews on YouTube for the MTL.

I hope this helps.
