As far as I know prowler products are CID products just rebadged. IMO the top grapple rakes are Bradco and Faver because of the unsupported tines, more dirt will fall out and they are better to rip roots out of the ground. Both are more expensive, especially the Bradco. I have a Faver grapple rake it have been very happy with it. CID makes good stuff also, I own one of their extreme whatever mowers with probably 300 hours on it and haven't had any trouble out of it and I have not been easy on it, it's been through many 5" hickory trees.
