Rock Grapple for 5083e/553L?

[Legacy1]

I am in the market for a rock grapple to help move irrigation pipe as well as move rocks, bricks, scrap, trash etc...

What is the consensus with Wildkat attachments?

In a 72in width with teeth weighing in at 790Lbs

The price seems pretty hard to beat.

Are there any others I should be looking at?

From this perspective - the grapple looks to be very well made. The cylinder shields are a nice touch. Heavy duty materials, clean welds, replaceable teeth.

Can't see the attachment construction. Should be close tolerance for the loader - to minimize slop and unnecessary wear on the loader attachment brackets.

But, if the attachment construction is anything like the rest of the grapple - should be A-OK.

What's the price?

Looks like a great unit, well designed and built. Interested in the price. There are others that are lighter weight but if you can handle this one fine and the price is good then I would agree with your selection.

Thanks for the input!

The price they have listed is $1800 with the teeth. I cant imagine shipping would be more than $200.

Available in 66", 72, 80"
40" opening with 3" spacing, 1/2" sides, 1/2" middles, 5/8" tongs, and 2"x8" cylinders
700-875lbs

I will give them a call monday to see how much shipping will be, as well as maybe get some more pictures of the attachment points.
