Grapple options for the L2501/LA525

[nerwin]

I have yet to hear anyone say they have a grapple and wished they had a different style or think they made a mistake putting the money into a grapple. Maybe that’s partly confirmation bias, but I don’t think that explains a total lack of expressed regret. Point being, you’re unlikely to regret whatever you get so long as you don’t get some giant thing that sucks up all your lift capacity.

Personally, I’m partial to twin lid long bottom, probably because that’s what I have and I like it… very much. View attachment 146448

Dang that's quite a log. Must be like 30+ inches round.

I've been researching grapples for my new L2501 for a few months now. Cost versus performance dual lid folks seemed to like the MTL.

Personally I've got my eye on the Precision manufacturing dual lid Big Mouth 322.

Right now, I still have more time than money.

I just posted the first links that came up. They both come with the skid Steer connect option.
I realize the Precision unit is much more expensive. I usually get what I want and cry once.

Yeah I have a Big Mouth!

Almost worth buying just to say that.

That big mouth looks interesting. Root rake style yet dual lids. Wonder how that would actually hold up in real world use?

That grapple looks under-built to me, and the cylinders being positioned where they are seems odd for a double lid design.
