Question for JJ

JJ,
I came across this thread you started. I was wondering if you could give us more info on this? How wide is it. How far do the jaws open? Is it sized right for your machine or do you think that it would fit the 425 better?

Scott, The frame is just a 2 in hitch assembly for a large car or truck. You could also use 4 in box 1/4 walls. You can build it to any size. What I built, would work quite nicely on the 425. Use as many tines as you like. It will open about 170 degrees. The grapple part is controlled by the aux hyd circuit, but you could add an electric valve, with a switch on top of the joystick for the grapple.

I have many pictures of root rake/grapples.

I was also wondering how wide is your grapple? Do you like it? What improvements would make?
