Looks like a gooder-un. :thumbsup:
What size and brand?
What size and brand?
It's a 60" that weighs about 450lbs. It's not an EA but for my little machine it should do fine. I am thinking about welding some teeth to the lids for better grip strength when pulling a log rearward.
eta: I got it for 995 OTD so I stayed on budget.

My $500 grapple is going strong after 8 hard working years. Isn't as pretty as when new but works just as well. No reason at all to buy expensive grapples.

My cheap grapple had held up pretty good. I have had to weld it up once, but that was cheaper than paying double for a EA grapple.

I wish they were still in business, good price, good weight, best size.

Just got mine set up today
My grapple looks exactly like yours HKH, only it's 72" and a bit big for my tractor weighing in at approximately 600 lbs. I picked it up from a trailer dealer who just wanted to get rid of it for $1000.00 cash. It's a no name brand and I'm thinking it'a probably Chinese-made but it is sturdy and tough. It has survived some pretty severe punishment and has easily become my favorite attachment...enjoy your new grapple!!...twister
