That looks like something that would be just the ticket for my needs.

Is that a commercial unit, or did you build it?

Do you have some detail pictures of how the grapple is mounted, hinged and powered?

Thanks.

I bought the combo from ALO, they are IMO the best loader mfg. on the market! ALO makes the factory loaders for all the bigger Massey's, CIH, NH's ect...

You buy their pallet forks, and they sell the grapple as an option. It slides right on the pallet fork frame as it's made right for it, it's about as perfect design as it could be.

It's powered from the remotes out on the loader arms, and activated by a button on the joy stick,

They are super strong, I slide the pallet forks together, and push them right into the ground, grappling a big rock and pulling it right up and out of the ground!! lol

They are just so usefull!!

That is a BFR... Big Fine Rock!

BFR for sure! lol

Here's one that I had to "chain up" and drag out,

THEN go get reinforcements to get it, and an even bigger one out,

ALL in a days work! lol

I suppose those are all big glacier deposited boulders. Some people would pay big money to have one of those things in their yard.

That's where those two went, lol

The ALO/Quicke website isn't very forthcoming.

I expect the grapple attachment only fits their fork frame?

I'd be looking at building one anyway.

What was you expecting on their site? Them to give you a blue print?? lol lol

They design/build their own tools, not buy them from Woods or ?... SO, all I can tell you is, it's about a perfect design, to compliment their forks...
