Hi Folks, thanks for your help. Purchased a used 2020 John Deere 3038e, having dealer install the WR Long hydraulics and will be purchasing grapple. Thanks to Covid etc, there is terrible availability near me. JD dealer has only 1 LMC grapple in stock elsewhere in state, which I placed hold on. It's their medium duty grapple, single center cylinder, 418 lbs. See picture below. I have not seen it in person. Dealer had good things to say about it, but not sure I trust much.
They expect to receive frontier grapples, I think av20f, which is 359lbs, in 2 months or so,
Concerned about the weight of the LMC, though it's only 60lbs heavier, as well as lack of reviews etc. I can wait for the frontier if that is the better choice, don't need to be wasting 2k on an inferior product, but of course would like to hit the ground running now.
I have searched online but most other options are likewise on backorder.
Thanks again,
