Has anyone looked at these grapples for use on PT tractors?

I have now...LOL!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The Iron Horse one looks impressive! Would be interested in seeing if any PT buckets have been modified with these or other types????

There is another grapple kit from ATI Corp but it costs around $900. Does anyone know if the hydraulics of these grapples will work on a 425? How about an idea of costs for the hoses and connectors and a good source?

I wonder how well that would fit on the light material bucket?

Thanks for the http://www.surpluscenter.com/ website BigAl...their catalog is on its way to me /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I don't have the grapple bucket, but I can do very similar things with the 4n1 bucket...

About two seasons ago Charlie built me this sophisticated, articulated grapple Charlie's Grapple for commercial and circus application. It works well and gets you into precarious positions if you overload it.

good luck /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
