[QUOTE="Mikefromcny, post: 60569, member: 6488"] If you plan to use it for brush and handling wood, definetly get a one with open tines for the bottom with independent grapples. Clam buckets (4 n 1) are good, but are somewhat limited. Dont get anything built super heavy or wider then 60" for a 743. I bought a 74" Bobcat combo bucket off craigslist for $675 last with very little use, its VERY heavy though, Almost 1000lbs. My 743 wasnt happy about using it unless you were handling light brush. If I were you, I would opt for a light duty 60" brush grapple...less weight, more you can pick up. As long your the one running your machine, I dont think the 743 is strong enough to break a grapple. Or buy anything cheap that works on craigslist, that what I do :) [URL='http://s640.beta.photobucket.com/user/mc84721/library/'][IMG alt="Photobucket"]http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/mc84721/743.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='http://s640.beta.photobucket.com/user/mc84721/library/'][IMG alt="Photobucket"]http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/mc84721/PA200005.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
