You might want to look into loading the rear tires with rim guard or an equivalent. It will help with stability. Especially when using your grapple or pallet forks. It shouldn't cost too much either.
Grapple and forks, nice! Two of the most useful tools for the tractor. Careful with the 2,000lb rated forks, make sure you lift using both forks to spread the load. I tried lifting off of one on 4,000lb rated forks on a branson 2515h, which has a little higher lift rating and bent the top fork frame a little bit. Just a head up.
Make sure you recheck your hydraulic fluid levels, some fluid had to go into the new grapple, that’s why it to so long to operate. Your tractor system probably needs about a quart now.
Word of warning, if you get a skid steer you may find that your smaller tractor attachments aren’t beefy enough to hold up. I have a grapple that got tore up going from a 59 HP tractor to a 93 HP compact track loader. I didn’t have a skid steer at the time but every time I look at my grapple I regret it.
If you ever have trouble getting those grapple hoses on or off just crack the lines open where they attach to the grapple until a bit of fluid leaks out. It’s not uncommon to have pressure built up in there making your life miserable.

I think I will definitely do this!
A 3rd function is one of the best additions i added to my tractor then i built my own stump bucket grapple combo its a game changer handling trees.
Loving it so far!
Definitely get some wrap for the hoses in that pivet point, one of the most useful attachments clearing land though, solid investment.
Yeah I am stoked on it- thanks for the tip!
Another full watch
Awesome, thanks for being here! 🤘

Thanks for the heads up!
It would be nice to have a protective skid pan to protect the hydraulic lines @1:20
Could be good! I do find there is lots of clearance though, but I guess we'll see.

You are so correct! I found that out today- I checked the oil and realized it was way low, took about 1 gallon actually!
@@acreagestuff yea, that is a lot of hose and a pretty big cylinder
Nice camera work!
Thank you!

Interesting! Yes, tough to optimize for everything for sure. The grapple is 54", i think it'll be decent on the Skid Steer, but we'll see.
Is the 3rd function kit a Kioti OEM or some third party product?

LOL, that exact thing happened, and the video is coming tomorrow- wish I would have seen this comment earlier today haha
@@acreagestuff I just watched that video, I didn’t want you to struggle like I did the first time it happened to me 😂 Sorry bro!
