Grapple Has anyone used Unlimited Fabrications?

Would you post on TBN or send by PM photos of the two systems you have. Would a diverter system work with my tractor's 21.5 gpm hydraulic flow rate?

Ultimate Fab 72" HD Root Grapple

• Cylinders-2" bore and a 10" stroke
• Opening - 36" H x 38" D
• Steel - 1/2" Grade 50, 3" square tubing, 3" pipe
• Line routing - Enclosed
• Weight - 750 lb.
• Tooth spacing - 9"
• Recessed grease fittings -
• Option - Cylinder rod covers
• Colors - Black, dk. gray, JD green, Cat yellow, orange
• Price - $1769.00

Skid Steer Conversion - No specs stated, will take about three weeks to fabricate. This one is about $225.00 less than a similar unit offered by another nearby fabricator.

Please let me know if this is built like your HD Grapple. I am a little concerned that the square tubes are 3" rather than 4".

I believe that it is. Mine is the 81" unit. I can't go out and check, it is about a 2 1/2 hour drive to confirm. As far as the diverters, the units I sell are not rated for your pumps capacity, (13 & 15GPM) but you are not using that capacity to operate a grapple. The rated capacity is important when there is a continuous flow and you are not using it for that purpose, are you? I'll see what I can do about some pics, but I don't think that you can PM pics using TBN's system.

Thanks for explaining the rated capacity/continuous flow factor. I feel even better about my buying decision after you confirmed you have the same style grapple I am buying and that you have been pleased with yours.

Please see my PM. Thanks.
