    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.

    Nice. The amount of labor a grapple on a machine saves is unbelievable! Pallet forks on a machine are also an incredible tool!:thumbs:

    I normally have 1.5 yard snow bucket. You can wear a t-shirt when it's below zero once it warms up.

    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.
