[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 550, member: 33"] Thanks for the reply JBC, I also find that with small items I may utilize forks or a grapple as a “dozer” blade and push it toward my debris pile. Sounds like the triangular braces are something that the Loflin design does not have. How big are these? Are they at the back of every tine? You said the grapple you purchased was about 1/2 the price of the AnBo version, so about $1600-$1800? I just got off the phone with Rob at Skid Steer Solutions which sells AnBo's grapple. He quoted me $3150 for a 66” grapple and $3250 for a 72” grapple. Delivery to the shipping dock in Seattle is $100 and barged to Anchorage, Alaska is another $150. Anchorage is 360 miles from me, so I'd have to drive down to get it or get a quote to have it trucked up. When I called he first asked if I was from Florida. He said they normally have 15 units in stock, but have sold them all in the last 4 weeks with the hurricanes. He'll have another order of 15 available tomorrow. He also stated that I may expect a 10-15% price increase at the first of the year due to the increases in the price of steel. I was planning on waiting until springtime to buy one, but may purchase it earlier. BTW, my local Bobcat dealer quoted me about $4800 for Bobcat's grapple. [/QUOTE]
