Our new Precision Manufacturing Add A Grapple
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Finally pulled the trigger after a couple years of thought. We decided to go with an add a grapple from Precision Manufacturing instead of a dedicated grapple due to the versatility of this setup. We considered a manure fork with grapple, but I didn't want another attachment laying around. This will get a lot use very soon once I'm able to start barnyard cleanup.

Titan attachments makes a spring loaded hose support. Bolt it on or weld it on, keep those hoses safe and away from the pinch points.
Thank you, I've been looking at something like that.
@@ElkCreekAcresit's called "bolt on hose hanger" p/n 192122. I bought two , the frame of the grapple was thick enough I drilled and tapped two 3/8" holes to attach. Added 90 deg fittings on the hoses by the boom couplers.
@@firstname6208 thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into that.
I've been a fan of the "Add a Grapple" since first seeing it a few years ago. Considered purchasing one myself but subsequently went with the Frontier 73" 4 in 1 bucket when I upgraded to the 4066R Deluxe Cab.
I still like the 4 in 1’s, but I don’t really have a purpose for one, just a want. This should be very handy for us.
Congratulations on the grapple you’re a great operator and you will have no problems using your grapple. I have a frontier one and I love it. The only reason I got it is because I do a lot of firewood but I’m very happy for you. It looks like it does a great job. That is awesome. You will enjoy.👍
Thanks Dean, I’ll get better with practice!
@@ElkCreekAcres you did excellent you don’t have nothing to worry about like I mentioned you’re a great operator when I first got mine it was really difficult for me because I never did it but I am great at it now and I love my grapple that’s an excellent thing what you did that will help you out tremendously👍
Congratulations on the new grapple, Pat! Enjoy!
Thanks Rod!
Nice addition, Pat. I have a friend who was looking for a grapple to install on his bucket and I think this one will do. 👍
Nice to hear, and it's only around $1000, I forgot to mention that.
Nice! We're still contemplating what this years implement will be, either a grapple or a flail.
Well, I have both now and I can already see that this will be far more useful than my flail.
We already have a 60" and 72" rotary cutter, so it'll probably be a grapple. Placing a log on the sawmill with the grapple will be much easier than with the forks.
@@andysmith8544 absolutely, get a grapple, I find myself still using my rotary cutter more than the flail.
Looks like an interesting and useful alternative to the high dollar grapple. A nice addition to your tractor!
Yes it is, thank you Michael.
Nice Pat. Figured you were getting a grapple of some sort. Thought about going that route also because it makes sense but I do a lot of firewood and handle logs so went dedicated grapple. Be watching to see how you like it as friend of mine is wanting a grapple of some sort. Gonna tell hem to check these out.
Thanks Bob, I forgot to mention, the best part is the price. This grapple is only $995 plus a couple hundred in freight, but definitely an economical option for those like me who don’t really justify a dedicated grapple and the price that comes with those.
@@ElkCreekAcres wow that is a great price. I’ll definitely let him know that. Thanks
You need hydrosplus pump!
Why is that? He's not done developing the 3R kit yet anyway.
Good stuff Pat, I know you’ll find that very useful!
I agree Kenny, and thanks again for your help!
Great demo! Thanks!
My pleasure, for the record, I still believe this is one of the best things I’ve bought for any of my tractors.
Rookie schmookie. You be already got it
Hahaha
Way to go Pat, use the heck out of mine for brush and tree work, big time and back saver.
Yes sir, I have a feeling this is going to get a lot of use!
