Purchased a new 66 in grapple at a nearby sale for $1300.
. Welded up a brush bender to bolt on the bottom of the grill guard . Now going to j bolt some 3/4 inch plywood under neath the loader frame to protect the hyd connectors.
J bolted a 31 inch by 31 inch 7 ply 3/4 inch plywood under the hydraulic couplers so now with the tree shear (up to 9in trees), the brush grapple and a little protection on the under side I am ready to work in the brushy pastures.
