Steve - finally got back around to this thread. Let me show you something that you should SERIOUSLY consider - now that you have your grapple. You can do a search here on TBN and find way too many posts where folks have damaged their - grills, radiators, batteries, hydraulics etc, etc. This shows what a bit of time and some expanded metal can do to your OEM grill guard and provide a bit of additional protection. A grapple will bring an all new supply of limbs, sticks, stobs etc, etc to challenge those "front parts" of your tractor.
