I was looking at buying a grapple bucket to move some brush. Then i decided i would build a bucket rather then buy one. I didnt want to spend a lot of money on one because i dont know how much i would use it after i move the brush. So after all said and done i had about 500 dollars in it with hoses and couplers. I work on it after work for about two weeks. I thought i would show everybody the end result.

Looks pretty serious. Hope you enjoy it and that it does the trick for you. Send us a report when you get it tried out.
Thanks,
John
I got some time this weekend to use the grapple. It worked great and saved me alot of time and work. The only thing i need to add is something to keep the hoses from getting in between the bucket and the loader arms. I am really happy with how it turn out and i think i will use it more than i thought i would.

Does anyone have a 3D CAD files to a Grapple bucket like this? I'm about to draw such a Grapple in SolidWorks to my skid steer. (my mail: oz5afj@@get2net.dk)
