I absolutely love my mechanical grappler for my 1025r. It works great for brush piles. One thing to think about is getting a poking a hole through your front grill. I’ve added a grill guard to help eliminate that problem. Other wise it’s a great addition for me.
Thanks for watching CJ! Sounds like you've got the hard part taken care of already. The AV20F grapples are hydraulic. We'll have to get a video up on those soon.

Bought this MG20F for my JD 2038R. It is garbage. In less than 5 hours of use it has broken my 220R loader twice. Picking up logs approx 10” diameter and 8’ long. You close the grapple around the log and if you even slightly over tighten the torque breaks the pin through the loader holder. The loader holder arm is cast iron I think and it’s a $600 repair at the dealership.

@bruceflynn9711 - Great point! That's a great help for some new tractor owners in our Toolkit community. :)
Maybe you should show picking up something heavier? Very disappointed in your example.
I need a hydraulic grapple for my 3025e. We already have the valves installed because of the lane shark

How much do these grapples cost?

Hi John,
We're sorry to hear that! A lot of our customers really like their grapples and get great use out of them. Thanks for watching our video.
Iiiiiii don’t think he uses a tractor that often 😅.
Hey there, thanks for watching the video! Jason owns a 4052R and uses it quite a bit around his property with various implements.
the guy has no idea what he is TRYING to sell.
Thanks for watching! What might you suggest we cover differently in our next mechanical grapple video?
lousy demonstration
Tom, thanks for watching! Drop us a line and let us know when you're available to host the next video.
I agree.
