Linear Actuator for ct120 grapple

[ticolawnllc]

I just don't know any one that does this kind of work in my area. I would happily put $1,200 buck into the tractor. But I if I do it my self I'm afraid of f-ing it up or taking a long time

I put a call into Bob Cat to see what they're going to charge me to put in some auxiliaries.

Check with Kioti also, may be cheaper and same kit should fit.

Rear valve ports are the way to go. So much you can do from there.

Bob Cat quoted me 1500 to do the plumbing

Have you checked with a Kioti dealer, should be the same kit?

I looked online but my nearest guy is almost by Maryland. I'm over at the Jersey shore. If anyone knows of a dealer near here please let me know

Honestly I'm looking to get a mini ex. And the truth is with 1500 I could almost put that towards a grapple for the mini ex. I would still have to buy the grout for the tractor. If I'm going to have all the plumbing done might as will get it legitimate grapple. All said and done I could be looking at three grand that I would much rather invest in something else.

I don't know I'm gonna have to really think about this. But hooking that actuator up to that quick attach seems like the best idea I've heard from you guys

It's a worthwhile investment in your equipment if you are doing this professionally. Either add a rear port and run a hose to the front or put a diverter valve on the curl function.

My diverter was $100 and another $200 in fittings and hoses. So, $300 all-in.

This grapple would be too big, but maybe a 48" Wicked...
Tomahawk Attachments :: Tomahawk 66" One-Cylinder Brush Grapple

Sub Compact BX Tractor Mini Wicked Root Grapple 33"

Seems like a lot of functionality for $1500-ish.
