Great basic practical info which saved me some research time. I'm not in the Know presently with all the particulars like releasing line pressure at end for easy re-hook Up
I have about (L4610) the same size tractor with a LA850 loader. I have (thanks to you) decided to go with a lighter grapple. I also like the clam shell style grapple because of the back dragging feature with the upper grapple arm. One thing i am concerned with is the open back of most grapples. Are you concerned when pucking up a pile of brush of a branch sticking thru and damaging a hydraulic line or front of your tractor? Thanks for your response in advane and thank you for helping me make my buying decision. Jim Athens GA
I actually have a few videos of me using the grapple to give you an idea of what I do with it. I’m pretty careless to be honest, and never have had an issue with anything coming through into my grill or the hoses. You can find those videos on my kubota tractor playlist!
It may be thick but doubt it is AR400 or anything near that. I had the grapple and had a cylinder leak after 6.months. you are correct about the lack of stops.
You nailed it on the weight - that's why you don't see a lot of grapples on smaller tractors. My skid steer has a 4,000 lift capacity so this would work well. If I were you, I'd keep this one with the weight restriction - lighter in weight will translate into more flimsy. Good video - thanks!
It does eat up a lot of my lift capacity, but it also keeps me in check. With a lighter grapple I’d be able to lift heavier logs which could lead to a tipping situation.
@@EverythingElliott Definitely, I got almost 40 acres out here. I just picked up a Land Pride 60” grapple this winter before prices shot up. Love your shop!
My email is in the about page of my channel, shoot me an email. We can work something out, I’ve got all sorts of saws and attachments I could bring over. We could shoot some content!
Finally someone from buffalo.figured that with the upstate steel shirt.
You’re not wrong!

Pretty simple, turn the tractor off and cycle the valve to release all the pressure!
@@EverythingElliott oh I remembered... Great tip and so easy!
Thanks Great info

Yeah, over all I’m “satisfied” with it, could it be more, absolutely…does it get the job done, sure.
THe single lid allows you to grasp more centered ( always good for a tractor) plus a stronger hold, and you can back rake with it.
thanks for the tip!

I got a MTL grapple and it is much better built than Titan. Also got a brush cutter from Rut Mfg. Both American made.
take a look at everything attachments. stay with the single lid.
Why the single lid vs split lid in your opinion?
Are you near Buffalo?
I am
@@EverythingElliott I’m in Sardinia. Seen your video on Facebook. Lamb and Webster gave it away. 🤘🏻
Ahhh we’re close! Get a hold of me if you ever have an idea for a video! Nice eye on the sticker!

Those are cheap Chinese crap. Titan Implements (now Ironcraft) is much better quality.
I do not disagree of the origin of this grapple, however, at the time of purchase, it was all I could afford.
