Hello from Little Buck Loader: Introducing the KBX Talon Mechanical Grapple!

[KbxTalon]

Hey everyone, we’re new to Orange Tractor Talks and excited to join this “Implements and Attachments” group! We wanted to introduce ourselves and share a little about our attachment—the KBX Talon, a mechanical grapple.

We know most of you are in snow mode right now, but spring will be here before we know it (hopefully!). Whether you're tackling logs, brush, or other heavy-duty chores, the KBX Talon is designed to make your work easier and more efficient.

What Makes the KBX Talon Different?

• Mechanical Grapple: No extra hydraulics needed—it works off your loader's bucket cylinders.
• Quick Attach Compatibility: Designed specifically for Kubota BX tractors (2013+).
• Built for Tough Jobs: Handles heavy lifting with ease, whether it’s logs, brush, or debris.

Special Offer for OTT Members
$90 off your KBX Talon purchase with promo code kbxOTT at checkout. The KBX Talon is $1,490 plus shipping.

Check it out at www.littlebuckloader.com.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback—feel free to reply or reach out if you have any questions! Let’s get ready for a productive spring!

My feedback would be that you need to re-upload your video in higher quality. 480 isn't good enough these days. Also have your video linked on the product's page so people don't have to hunt for it to see how it works.

Welcome aboard!
Interesting concept.
I would add a video of it grabbing & moving brush/slash, because that is why most people buy a grapple.

Thanks for your feedback, @Dustball. Sorry you missed the link to our YT playlist on our product page -- I'll make it more obvious

Thanks for the kind welcome, @Lil Foot ! Here's a link to our YT playlist. This video in particular from Seriously Stump'd is what you're looking for.

I did miss the link the first time- the bold helps.

Thank you again for your feedback! Hope you are staying warmer than we are (in Northern IL)

After looking at the web pages, the Antler grapple for JD was interesting. My BX is older than 2013, so it does not have a quick attach bucket. Wouldn't the Antler Grapple fit a Kubota BX with a regular loader, not a quick attach? That would be a handy little item. Of course, orange would need to replace the green.

Hi and thanks for reaching out! We wish we could retrofit the Antler Grappler (and happily paint it orange!), but at this point it only works on our buckets. As far as the Talon, I wonder if anyone in this group has a quick attach converter kit that they know of? Or perhaps you've already looked into it and it won't work for any number of reasons.
