Hello everyone - I picked up a Bobcat 863 with 1600 hours a couple of months ago to help clear some property I have of ROCKS, trees and small brush. I have it narrowed down to four brands: quick attach Saber Tine Heavy-Duty Tine Grapple; Solesbee's rake; Carolina's Heavy Duty Root Grapple; and a Faver.
So much information to consider - weight, length, type of steel being used ( too soft), size of opening, how many teeth. :Banghead
Any help in narrowing it down would be appreciated but my big question is what size. I originally thought of going wider than my tracks ( 78 inches) but then found a few posts stating to go narrower than your tracks. I have 60 acres and about 30 is in pasture - if you dare call it that - as it looks like more like debris from a asteroid scattered all over the place. If I could sell the rocks I'd be rich.
My bobcat is a 863, 73 hp, outside tire track is 76 inches wide ( has spacers installed) - probably 79 inches +, if I put the metal tracks on.
