Looking at grapples

[ScottHam]

So for anyone that comes later and reads this thread, I have ordered a Homestead 55" Root Grapple Pinnacle Series.

Sounds like a good choice......When is delivery expected?

We'll be expecting price incl shipping, delivery time, and a full review, complete with pictures.

They told me that it would ship the week of 3-Oct.

It's like being 12 years old and waiting for Christmas to get something you have always wanted (I can't wait to see it on my tractor also )

I don't know what brand Evan uses on his YouTube channel Country View Acres but it's a total piece of junk. It's so poorly/cheaply built and he was straightening a number of the tines on the episode tonight. I enjoy his channel though. but was really surprised at how cheaply made that grapple is. Just a bad design all around unless you use it for light duty work.

I seen the same thing. I went back to the video where he got the grapple to see what model. Although I missed the video where he bent them, so I don't know if it was bad design/material or operator error/abuse. I hate to say a product is bad without all the details.

Thanks for that. I don't think I've ever seen such a poorly designed and cheaply made grapple. The square tubing is ridiculously undersized.

Looks like my grapple might be here tomorrow. Got the Summit 3rd valve kit last week, just need to get it installed.

The wife signed for my Pinnacle grapple today. Just under 6 weeks since order. Will update next week when I make it home to use it.
