Hi,
I have (Year 1998 ~2000) JD 4500 tractor with a 48 backhoe on it and a 460 front end loader. I would like to add a Grapple (to use for removing cut brush/bushes). There is a kit LVBM 18820 $ 255. + BW 14716 (hose & pipes)
$ 309 + more hoses and connectors to hook up the grapple $ $300. Then there will be extra hoses to and from the grapple with couplings. For a total of about
$1,000 plus $700 for the Grapple.
I have spent two days on the phone trying to find out a less expensive way to connect the grapple with no luck. The only less expensive was I could think of was to use a snow plow pump bolted to the back of the bucket to work the grapple with a rocker switch attached to the dump and roll arm.
Anyone have suggestions???
Thanks,
Jonathan
