Grapple

[Donystoy]

I recently purchased a new grapple for my LX2610. I tried my Kubota dealer first but even they were surprised at the prices of what they had to offer. I ended up doing considerable research and ended up with one from the other orange tractor company. Very impressed as it has rhino teeth on the bottom and two cylinders all at a considerably lower cost. Can't wait until spring to see how it works.

Buffalo gets all the snow. In fact, most of the US gets worse weather than we do. This winter we have not even had much frost in the ground. Expect to be on the land in April.

We had spring in January/February this year. Winter came back this week. Stupid ground hog.

A grapple is a awesome attachment

Maybe Kioti. That's the "other orange tractor company" right? Kioti mentions "single arm" in the link below which might be a single lid rather than two lids but I'm not sure. The OP mentions two cylinders but hard to tell what the Kioti grapples come with. Either way, looks like a decent grappple.

Yes I bought the Kioti KG2054. It includes all hoses to the two cylinders from the third function. Just have to get the quick connects.

You can order an Everything Attachments Wicked 55 for $2,400 or a Wicked 60 (like I have) for $3,300 at the moment since there's a sale going on. I ordered the Wicked 60 almost two years ago to the day (showed up in early July), and it was $2,860 delivered to Montana. Money well spent for sure.

The red-headed other orange line males dome pretty good stuff.

That's not really a bad price increase all things considered.
I got the 54 dual lid on sale. Never been happier spending that kind of cash on something without wheels.

I agree re Kioti products. I almost bought a Kioti tractor when I was looking for a cabbed tractor to replace the MX6000HST (open station). The lack of a real dealership with good service/support in my area put me off.

In the grand scheme of things, years from now I doubt many of us will care much about how much we spent on our tractors or implements.

I paid $2200 Canadian loonies for my Kioti. Should be considerably less in the US.

The SGC1060 grapple is a heavier duty grapple than the SGC0660, and it weighs about 150 lbs. more. You would be paying more and giving up lift capacity for a stronger unit. Would the stronger unit be of benefit to you - only you can say? I have had my SGC0654 for over two years. It shows no damage, and I have never been wanting in terms of functionality. I use my grapple frequently; it stays mounted on the loader. However if I am planning to rip out some small bushes, I use my bucket with the tooth bar. Some people dig more in the dirt with their grapples, but they are risking their loader and hydraulic system on compact tractors.
