Has anyone tried using one of these on their PTs, driven by the PTO connection?

What modifications, if any, would you see being needed?

It looks like it could be a less costly alternative than PT's grapple bucket...

It would awefully hard to operate this off the PTO connection since fluid only flows one direction! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif However, on the newer machines it should work fine off the auxillary hydraulic connection (the hydraulic quick-attach hoses). Or you could plumb in a selector valve, and use the joystick to operate it.
