Grapple arrived today,
I put it on and am amazed at what a useful tool it is. I thought it would be good for brush and limbs…

I started carrying stumps I had pushed over with the dozer, small ones then bigger ones. It handled EVERYTHING, The largest were from trees around 2 foot in diameter, stump root system was 6 foot or more. I grabbed a few trees that I had dropped and not cut up and it handled those fine. (just had trouble maneuvering a 50 foot horizontal tree between standing trees trees..)

I really love my wife’s new MX4800, I have nearly 9 hours on it now in three days. She had to fly to Brazil so I had to work her new tractor… someone has to do it. I finally had to stop as it was raining like hell and the fields were turning into mud soup, Took two hours to wash the mud off the tractor.

Your Grapple is such a time saving device, not to mention your back!

Ron,
it is a Land Pride SGC1084,

I got it at Dan's Tractor in Battleground Wa.

This is the second tractor I bought from them and am very happy with their prices and service.

Nice attachment! It's funny how I used to do everything with my FEL loader bucket, in retrospect, that was because it was all I had on my old tractor. Having the QA on the 3301 is a game changer, and it turns out my 48" forks are my new best friend. Them and the trailer ball attachment I made for one fork.
