TC-30 Grapple

[Little Tractor Ferndale]

Hello folks I just joined a bit ago and have found some good info on Tractor By Net. I am in the process fitting my New Holland TC-30, 7308 loader with Quick attach, as well I am adding a WR Long aux. 3rd function valve to operate a ANBO GR-M Grapple. The GR-M is a very well built nice but not cheep unit, though it is about the only good option for a 6 inch tooth spacing Rake Grapple that this little TC-30 Tractor will lift. There are other rakes out there but you wont be able to lift much more than your dried out 7ft Christmas tree. I will take some pictures and a video of the rake doing some work as soon as the rain stops so look for them in June.:laughing:

How much does your loader lift? How much does the GRM weigh? What are you using it for?

There are a number of light duty grapples for under or around $1000. You can also save the cost of the diverter valve by using rear remotes to control the grapple. Works just as well.

Have an anbo grm as well on a b2710. Works great and I have picked up some pretty substantial cottonwoods with it, in fact I got to cut one up and haul out that landed in my pond when I get home.

The 7308 loader is rated 900 LB on the tc30 I think is has more to do with an at hight rating (stability) as I have lifted some very large cotton 30 inches in diamiter by 10 ft length must be 1500 lb. Love the ANBO GR-M Grapple. I would say that a rocker switch on the stick controling a independent Aux valve is the way to go! All in your hand opperation lifting, curling, dumping, driving all at the sametime = fast fun work!

Sorry for the slow reply! Ha ha! I mainly do firewood stuff moving trees cleaning up limbs making burn piles. The weight is around 400lb i think by far my most loved implement and i have many!
