picked this brush grapple up a couple weeks ago at the spring consignment auction. made by stout mfg, new unit. this one weighs about 550 lbs.. they had a rock grapple also, but the weight was 950 lbs. i have a lot of brush in my timber to clean up. fooled around here at the shop with it, works really well.

Now if you were in Italy you would be driving up behind a pretty girl and give her a little pinch. Tee hee
 
I have a grapple on my manure fork....works very well in brush, moving logs, etc. In brush I pack material tighter by crunching down on the pile with a full load on the grapple......gives a much better burn than just piling the stuff.

Last fall I bought a rock fork...has teeth similar to yours, but 3 inch spacing. Works slicker than snot for picking the little rocks...gonna add a hyd reel to it as well, to convince the slow pokes to get in the bucket.
 
dennis, yup the front tires are reversed. gives better traction backing up with a loaded bucket. when pushing forward the front tires dont have much weight, so the backs have the most traction, when backing up, the load in the bucket puts most of the weight on the front tires, and they grip better.
