Tree shear with buncher arms

[flightrn3698]

Can anyone tell me what brand this tree shear is? http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/grd/3138769630.html It looks like the skid steer mount was added later. Any negative comments about this shear? I am considering buying it for use on my New Holland L190. Thanks Jeff

Too big for my 743.

Cost new is $16.9-17.9K. 10K probably only works for WELL used.
