    That’s great service! Great choice for a replacement! I love mine and I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.

    :hair::hair:

    Y'all are terrible I say!!!

    I just spent an hour looking at grapples, and grapple related items.
    o_O

    They say that they have one for the la240 which is on my BX25D, but it looks like it needs the "third hydraulic" connection which mine doesn't have.

    So there's kits for third function on the 25D, but they run around $800.
    :doh:

    Uggghhh
    :picard:

    Anyone know how deep this rabbit-hole is??

    The county line one (speeco) from TSC is priced nicely & has great reviews!

    I feel both of your pains, our L3130 has the LA513 loader, which is pin-on. Doesn't have 3rd function either. Talked to dealer. To convert to Quik Attach, QA plate for bucket, 3rd function valve and Land Pride grapple.... roughly $3500 :emptywallet::emptywallet:, so I think I could do it cheaper....weld on QUIK TACH mount and plate from Titan Attachment, function valve and grapple from Everything Attachment...about $3650 and have to do all the work:makeitrain":makeitrain":makeitrain". Guess I'll be using the forks on the bucket and log tongs for awhile longer:tractor::tractor:.

    T.Jeff Veal. I also have a pin on bucket without the third function remote. Your prices in mine look about the same:makeitrain"

    I was thinking the backhoe attachment, but I'm not sure you can get to the bottom of the rabbit hole :emptywallet:

    Back when we had teenage girls, this would be “I so NEEEED...”. I try that line on my wife occasionally, but she doesn’t fall for it.

    We run hydraulic hose lines from rear remote up to the front to run a bale grabber, and borrowed a brush grabber once. The hard lines are the best way to go, but this works ok for our occasional use (we use a spear for feeding out the bales because it’s ok to ruin the bale’s seal, and the long lines get removed for all the winter). We did damage the outer layer on one of the long lines, rubbing on the tractor’s grill guard.

    Ohhhh. Bummer. I’ve used my forks to move brush, but those grabbers sure are nice.

    The QA is likely a necessity with front implement availability, but way too easy to tweak out of alignment on these loaders.

    I had a root knock the left side out on mine while backing up, while still useable takes some gentle operator intervention.
    On my list of fixes to box the cross member
