New from Texas, and new/used Branson 3520 owner

Good info yall, thank you for the replies. I had looked at the Wicked grapple. Seems like a good tool for this tractor.

I'll look more into the parking brake problem and let yall know what I find.

Great points.

I don't actually have a grapple so I don't fully understand their value. In fact I've never even used a grapple so I don't know what I'm missing. I hope to have a grapple some day.

I had the 3520H out helping me hang deer fencing. This 330' x 7.5' roll of heavy duty fencing only weighs 46 pounds. That's a 10 foot stick of 1.25" electrical conduit attached to a concrete umbrella base. It pulls off real easy that one person can pull the entire roll in a straight line.

I installed “the thumb “ from Greens machine shop, sure do like them , age and health issues helped me make the decision. But I would still like to have grapple. There is Branson BL10A loader it is euro global, I have checked and instead of trying to replace all the parts on bucket, I will convert to skid style, just makes buying attachments at lower cost and easier to find.
