Have a 62 tomahawk rock bucket
Is it possible to add a grapple to it?

Dan, you asked the question wrong. Does a bear crap in the woods?

Sure you can, however it may depend on your building with metal skills, your tools, your time, your funds, what you want it to look like, how you want it to work, and on and on .....

Are you wanting to pick up big rocks, short or long logs, brush?

I take it it's a round top bucket? You'll have to fab up and weld on a set of mounting ears for any grapple and add a 3rd function to operate it but it's 100% doable.

I concur with D2Cat.

I would use it to pick light material like brush light logs
But
I think I will buy in the spring one that is already made
With my b2650 I am concerned about the weight the
Will have to find out a good light one like a 48-60 inch wide
