I'm looking to get a SGC1560 grapple for my 7060 and before I jump on it I want some opinions on mass. The 1560 is 800# but the dealer has a 72" one in stock which I think would work fine except it is 100# heavier. Is that too much mass in the front? R1 tires are ballasted but when I was moving heavy junk with the forks I felt that back end moving once. It felt much better with the cutter back there but maneuvering suffered.
Looking at the capacity curves in the manual it should still be able to easily lift another 1000# to max ht (3M) if I dared to do that and around 2000# off the ground. I'm not so worried about lift as I am about stability.
