I echo many of the arguments above. Keep an eye on FBMP and CL and you'll find one. Decide up front if QH compatibility is important to you and buy accordingly. Buying heavy is also good advice as I have had to add weight to mine to get it to work well in certain situations. Make sure that the...

All good input. I will almost assuredly be on the lighter side of grapple use on my property. I will not be moving large/long bucked logs or moving boulders. I see it as a easier way to move brush/debris/slash than pushing with the bucket. In an effort to keep weight down and thus preserve lift...

Thanks for the education on the two top cylinders. I now know they operate independently. Sounds like a good setup but i am guessing that they must be heavier by default. Backhoe will give plenty of ballast out back - around 800lbs

Thanks to all so far. I am, indeed, concerned about weight of the grapple eating up too much of my lifting capacity. I hear you on the "analysis paralysis" but I just want to make sure that I know the basics so if the right grapple at a decent cost within my budget pops up closeby - I can...

Ok… before this devolves into a typical thread akin to motor oil preferences and other arcane hijacking, let’s just say that this is a request for generic info on grapples as a whole. Let's also qualify that this is for compact tractors of around 30hp and below (Small Ls, Bs, and BXs) as I feel...

I am replacing my commercial opener in my shop door. This remote kit came off the old system. Works flawlessly. More details at https://elitegates.net/products/lin...XwLjPdDBwL99e3pmSLzGCPGhx3mqlWO8aAsKXEALw_wcB Will ship to L48 for $50 net to me PP. Ships from Roanoke VA

Stick with Dan - he'll set you straight. He and many others here helped educate me on hydraulic plumbing and the parts for adding a rear remote (not T&T) and front third function to my B2620 a few months back. I DIY'ed my solution and have around $700 in it.

Agreed. But increased steel prices have driven those $3100 trailers a good bit higher on the lots around me. I am happy with what I got and with the $500-700 savings.

With a QH looking less and less likely to be in my future - maybe I need to see if there telescoping lift arms available for my Kubota. Could be a useful upgrade It's really only the bush hog that's trouble any more. The FDR1660 has pivoting connections at all 3 points and suspending the box...

Thanks guys. All food for thought. The extra plates and bushings for the LP floating top link kinda defeats the "quick" part of a QH that let's you stay in the seat while you engage the implement and then take off.

Not interested in a Pats I am well aware of the difference between the Quick Hitch at the rear and the SSQA at the front. I am quite specifically looking for info on whether a 3pt QH requires all the extra BS parts as demonstrated in the LP video to attach to the floating top link pin.

Old post ... I know but I have the same question. I am way down the rabbit hole on quick hitches. So rather than making a new thread, I am reviving the old thread that a Google search found. I measured all my implements' pin geometries today so I can bring the data home to analyze. I have a...

I agree. I have found these as, so far, my best option online. https://www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jacks/Fulton/FSJ1-SJ2.html

I just did both sides on my B2620 that had the same symptoms. There are a bunch of youtube vids worth watching to give you the details. Just go slow and be clean and deliberate. Not a hard job at all.

Doh!!! No outlet here

Hmmm... I have an Alro here in town. I might need to do a recon mission.

I have built several over the past few years. None are at the size you allude to. My last one is my best one. All are made by cutting down black locust trees (5in dia) which are rot resistant and then sink em a foot or more in the ground with a post hole digger. The frame and tops are fabbed...

Perfect timing on this post - I'm bookmarking it for future reference. I just picked up a used trailer for my B2620 two weeks ago but have not used it yet short of trailering it home empty. I opted for a 16ft 7k wood decked car hauler so that I would have the ability to actually haul a car later...

Dan Ok. I "think" i have located the problem or at least I have no more symptoms sitting still in my garage as it rains outside. I started into your bulleted points above. I was working thru the list when the system was apparently hydraulically locked as nothing would move. Nothing. Zilch. No...

Good point. I only got a BH because it was on the only used tractor that fit my needs and was priced fairly. If I had to do it all over again, I would gladly buy a non-BH tractor and then rent a Mini-Ex as needed.
