I got a mini-skid grapple on Friday and it was an easy adaptation to the PT425 mount. Even with my limited skills and tools.
Still need to add the side stabilization plates to the mount.
Working on the hydraulics later this week or likely next.
It is 240 lbs so no big tree trunks but lots of brush and trash to be removed.

You will love it. I use my grapple a lot. Just make sure you have a little clearance between the upper "dog bone" ball joint and the quick attach plate during ALL phases of movement and load. You don't want the quick attach plate putting load directly on the outside of the ball joint as it will wear quicker and could deform it. I am always surprised when I think I got it, then I make some odd move and then I see interference.

I will pay close attention and likely cut out a little more of the mini-skid top mount. Thanks for the advise.

That grapple is pretty nice. Who is it made by?

Grapples are one of the most versatile attachments one can own..
I’m sure you will use it constantly
I have the PT grapple for my 425
And an EA55 as well
Cannot imagine being without one again.
