Titan Econo 60" Grapple Bucket

[Huntshillhaus Farm]

If all you're doing is cleaning up your own property, my opinion is the cheaper the better. Quality grapples are made for daily use on equipment with 4 times the breakout force of your tractor. If the 1200 dollar bargain bin grapple i use at work hooked to a t590 bobcat hasnt even bent yet, you shouldnt have to worry about that 2150 causing damage. I'd personally go with an add a grapple and try to find a few extra forks so you can have 4 on at once so not so much debris falls through. The ability to rake with a grapple bucket doesnt work very well with a tractor anyway, so you'd be better off with a 3pt rake or a standard bucket for cleanup anyway. Don't worry too much about a lack of grease zerks on some models. The amount of cycles a grapple makes is so few that it doesnt matter if they're well lubricated. If anything, lube it after use to prevent it from seizing while sitting.

This is sort of my take. I'm not doing heavy duty land clearing, mainly cleanup on five acres of woods. I am a leg amputee, so tools and implements that save me steps are useful, especially in this instance, since wading around in downed tree limbs is one of the worst jobs to do on a prosthesis. The ability to chainsaw man small trees and cedar limbs, and drag the out to brush piles without constant on/off tractor excursions appeals to me.

Look at MTL attachments in Georgia. I have one, use it commercially. No issues. They make them with JD hookups. Very well made. VERY reasonable price wise.

Would've recommended looking at them, but they are 90% 'sold out' all the time, and I believe there's some customer service issues after that sale, but look them up and see.

Their website says that the "sold-out" is on their stock, and you basically call them direct, get added to their waiting list for the particular item, then they contact you when ready to ship.

The owner is a little cut and dry. I guess some folks had issues with him when they couldn't manipulate him. I had zero issues with him. He kept his word and delivered. I've abused the product commercially for two years with ZERO issues.

Manipulate him on pricing?

Oh snap. I just read all their reviews on Google, and some other forums.
