New B2620 for a long time JD Owner.

Congratulations! Nice Tractor.

I am considering a grapple for my B3200 as well. I had the dealer install a single valve remote hydraulic as part of the purchase. At the moment I'm headed in the direction of a hydraulic top link cylinder. I am strongly considering either a full grapple - something like a 48' open bottom from WR Long or an Add A Grapple which bolts to the existing bucket. I am using pallet forks on my B7510 to pickup limbs that I have laid parallel. The forks work pretty good in that situation but think a grapple would allow me to pick up the brush and hold it better. The open bottom would allow dirt to fall out whereas the bucket will retain any dirt picked up using an add a grapple.

Make sure the wife knows you love her because you will be spending more time with the Kubota than her.

I purchased a B2620 in September after looking at the JDs. I felt the same as you in that I felt that the fit and finish on the Kubota was better. I actually had a little better deal on the Deere but went with the Bota. I have not been let down, I have 5 acres and do lots of landscaping and this thing has had all the power and more than I have needed. Good Luck
