Too hilly and steep for a rig like that on my place. Sure could use Something like that though to help get rid of the dang brush that's trying to take over.
Great tractor, but... I've only got 1/2 acre or less to mow and a JDx304, so no need for a belly PTO. I can get a new JD 3038E for $20.5K MSRP (obviously less from the dealer) which leave $5K+ for the grapple. I know, it's (green) apples to (orange) oranges, but, just saying. GLWTHS
Gasifier thanks for the response. Beautiful tractor and very cool grapple. Most likely won't allocate the funds towards a grapple this year but possibly next. Have to pick up a post hole auger in the spring so that will be the tractor attachment for this year.
I never used a grapple until a couple months ago when doing my orchard expansion project. But I used one on my neighbors Cat 277 skid steer. They work slick, like an extension of your hand. I run this machine all Winter moving snow at a local school, it's real nice. Orchard expansion project | Firewood Hoarders Club
Nice. The amount of labor a grapple on a machine saves is unbelievable! Pallet forks on a machine are also an incredible tool!
Man o man thats a killer looking tractor Gas. Loving that Cat too Bandit. I agree with you on the heaters, guy I worked for pushing snow had a S205... even on low that thing would make me half sick it got so hot inside. I'd sweat with the windows open in freezing temps lol.
