[QUOTE="mahans7, post: 60559, member: 7824"] I'm hoping to get a root grapple after the holidays. It would've been perfect for the land clearing job we just did and save a lot of time and effort. My question is, the 743 is 55 inches wide, would a 60" wide grapple be adequate? The 743 lift ROC is 1300 lbs. and the grapple weight ranges from 387 lbs. with 3/16" tines to 900 lbs. with 1/2" tines. I was thinking more in the 500-600 lb. range(3/8" tines) so that I would have plenty of lift capacity. Thoughts? Finally, is it worth getting the 2 claw version (for uneven loads) or is the 1 claw version adequate? Appreciate all opinions. [/QUOTE]
