Question For The Pallet Fork/Grapple Manufactures....

[Utopia Texas]

I have the wicked root grapple for my B2650 but prefer my pallet fork grapple for picking up limbs and piles of limbs since the forks slide along the ground and you can "roll" small piles of limbs as you move forward into a ball, then grapple shut to move to my burn pile. For me picking up multiple limbs is much more efficient with my pallet fork grapple than the wicked root grapple. My problem is that my pallet fork grapple weighs 650 pounds which is ok for my 9,000 pound tractor but it is way too heavy for my B2650.
Does anyone make a small pallet fork grapple that weighs LESS than 400 pounds? Closer to 250-300 pounds for small tractors would be best. Thanks......

Check out Everything Attachments, they have a nice SS set that is around 200 lbs.

The only skid steer fork grapple I see on their site weighs 600 pounds.
Could you send me to the correct page please?

This is about the smallest lightest I could find.
And at 593 lbs it's still quite heavy for a B.

Here is the link, 238 lbs and good to lift 2200 lbs so should work good on a 2650...looking to get a set for my BX23s if I trade it in. Really want the Skid attach, but not sure if it is worth a couple grand to go from my BX25D or not.

Good luck and interested to see how they work for you.

RonBoyBX25D,
That's great weight for a set of forks, but he asked for a set of grapple forks, standard forks are much lighter than a grapple fork.

How about getting a set of lightweight forks and adding a Greens Machine Thumb?

Thanks for the suggestion... I think I found my new grapple. I can even buy separate mounting bases so I can use it on my bucket or pallet forks. I would love a EA grapple, but this is so much cheaper and will do what I need.
