Grapple just ordered a light duty grapple rake

[Michelle K linnane]

Hi
I have been reading a great deal about all the threads with the Markshams
welding LD grapple rake and finally decided to take the plunge. It should ship some time next week had extra tines installed 4 inches apart and order 48 inch. I am installing on JD 5103, I also ordered the adapter kit. Has anyone installed one a 500 loader yet and if so how difficult will it be.
I asked the office girl if this was all I needed and she said yes. But I wonder?
Thank you in advance michelle linnane

I'm not familar with the Markham adapter kit. But I had an ATI QuickTach added to my loader. It makes changing between bucket, grapple or pallet forks easy by just pulling 2 levers. It's also stid steer compatible.

Same here. I have the same grapple with extra tines but in a regular duty version, also with an ATI quick attach. I don't know anything about the Deere version. My ATI is simple, as can switch implements in several minutes. I have had a little problem with the ATI levers becoming jammed due to a distorted sleeve that the pin slides in, but it was fixable. You will love this grapple!!!! Good luck with the QA.
