I have the same grapple. Absolutley love it. Well built. I'm sure I'll be using it for many years. I agree with you on storage. I've modified the pallet it came on by standing a piece of 2X8" screwed to the 2x4" pieces it came with. With a couple of scrap 2x4" pieces screwed to the top of those to add a bit more bracing of the 2"8". And screwed 4X4" legs 16" high to the four corners to get a little more height. This allows me the close the grapple and stand it on the pallet for easier hookup and removal. One other tip..........after releasing hydraulic pressure on the lines to the grapple, and removing the lines, I clean the couplings with a cloth and then connect the two couplings together to keep them clean for the next hookup. Good luck, and I hope you get many years of enjoyment with your tractor and grapple.
Great review!! Thanks for posting. I'm going to be buying this grapple for my Kubota L39.
Thank you! L39 is an awesome tractor. My neighbor has the L47 👍

Thanks for the comment! Good idea on storing the lines as well 👍
EA is an unstable or closed company right now, look at the Homestead products
Wow, didn’t realize that. The grapple seems to be a solid product atleast.
