I am looking at Grapples for a B26 and am considering the Landpride SGC1060, SCC0660 or the Wicked Root Grapple. What are the recommendations for picking up logs, branch debris, and perhaps digging some roots/stumps.

Aside from what you are considering Homestead and Virnig are other brands to consider. My local dealer pricing on the Land Pride grapples made them cost prohibitive for me.

I have a Virnig 60” on my LX2610 for cleaning up extensive tornado damage to the woods on my property. Zero regrets, does what a root grapple should do.

Thanks for the recommendation, I left a message with my local Virnig dealer. My B26 has a TL500 loader (~1200 LB lift capacity) and I'm a bit concerned over the weight of some of the Virnig models, which one do your recommend? Perhaps the V30 series?

Yes, a v30. The 60” is 300 pounds, the 54” is 255. I got the 60” due to it being a bit more sturdy with some added gussets and I was willing to sacrifice the 45 pounds.

Their other series (v60) are more skid steer geared I believe.
