Hello All,
As some of you know, I started a thread about which piece of equipment to buy first. well, it was decided that a backhoe would be most useful at this point. Anyhow, during the discussion it was suggested that I get a TLB with a 4 in 1 front loader bucket. I thought this was a great idea in that I will be carrying some trees that will later be cut into rounds for firewood. Anyhow, I have been searching the listings, and very few machines have a 4 in 1 front bucket. Then I was thinking, how about adding the grapple arms that I see on many of the skid steers. So, I did several searches, and found bolt-on grapples, but they mostly seem to be made for the smaller TLB's. I also did a search of this forum, and came up with nothing. The grapples that I saw for the smaller tractors looked like the would work awesome as an add on to a larger unit it they were substantially stronger.
So, all the above stated, does anyone have any experience with a grapple attachment that could be added to the stock front bucket of a JD401e or New Holland B95 sized unit?
