Anyone have experience with the Precision manufacturing mini 322 grapple rake? I’m looking to put a grapple on a Kubota LX3310. My only experience with grapple use is the longer tine style on a skid loader with dual grapple lids and I think this is what I’d prefer. However, due to the size limitations of my tractor, I’m slowly coming around to the rake style grapples to conserve weight. The EA Wicked 55 certainly appears to be high quality. But, the function of dual lids appeals to me, which lead me to the precision mini 322. I have concerns about the ruggedness of the mini 322, particularly the hinge points of the grapple lids and the tine points. Any experience with this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the Precision Mfg rake style grapple with dual lids but it's the 6' model on my Kubota M5660. It works well and I bought it new, sight unseen last fall. I was disappointed at first when I learned that there were no grease fittings on any moving parts but at my age, if I wear it out before I die, it will be a miracle. Also, it would be an easy job to spin out some greasable bushings and weld them on.

I was researching the same grapple you mention and wondered what you wound up doing. Did you purchase the mini 322? I am thinking of getting one to put on my JD 3043D. Any feedback would be appreciated.
