[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 548, member: 33"] JBC, Thanks for the reply. I think one reason the AnBo design is more expensive is because it may be made out of heavier material and AR400 material, rather than standard mild steel. The downfall if it is heavier, you will lose load capacity. I am going to call AnBo or Skidsteer solutions today to check on the weight of the attachment and shipping costs. A lot of the time I am picking up one big log (like a whole tree) and may have to reposition a time or two to balance the load on my forks. If the grapple could clamp tight on one piece, it may eliminate the time lost repositioning. How much have you used your grapple? How well is it holding up? I was kind of worried about the longer tines only being supported by the weld to the back tube and the sweeping design of the outer teeth. Do the pipe shaped spacers out near the tip get in the way or hang up in the dirt while ripping up roots? [/QUOTE]
