Will be selling damaged grapples to put on the damaged tractors you sell? Be careful buying from these guys, not all deals are worth the horrible customer service experience they give you.
I think not all grapples are the same, you are showing all light weight work. If you go into fb groups for kioti or any other subcompact tractor group you find grapples / box blades all just bent up or ripped. So I can spend 1500 for the grapple that is heavier which will effect my lift capacity or I can get one that is stronger and lighter therefore increasing the ability of my tractor. Mike I love your videos and I am a happy customer of yours. But I disagree, implements and attachments are a extension of your tractor and time is money. If I buy this grapple and I have to cut a log smaller to make it way less... the log is worth less and it's more trips. If the grapple bends the teeth then it's looses more function. Then I have buy another one. Why not buy the better one the first time?
David, I love your comments! I wish more folks would offer the opportunity for a lively debate! I agree with you, but I also agree with me, LOL. I have reflected on what I said, and it occured to me why I said it...I based that video and my opinion on MY use, and more importantly MY propensity to use equipment lightly. My comfort level. I am not aggressive, so a light duty grapple suits me. What I should have said id just that: people like me who are just dabbling should consider a light duty item, but that is not true for everyone. If your needs require stronger, more forgiving equipment, than it would be foolish to try to rely on a cheap item. Well said David! Thank you!
Thanks for info on grapples Mike. Would love to have the RX7320 with a grapple some day here on my Northern Ky farm. I just purchased a saw mill and it would be great for lifting logs. Have a great summer......
I have an RX7320 and for a grapple, it was a toss-up between an Everything Attachments Wicked Root Rake Grapple and a Land Pride SGC1560. I went with the latter on availability, but both are built incredibly strong. The reason to go with a more expensive grapple is because you buy once, cry once and if you do more than move material, but dig up stumps, rocks, pull out trees, things that some people need to do and actually do regularly, then one of these heavily built grapples with premium steel are a must. If you’re still going to move big logs for your saw mill, you might still get by with a cheap grapple like a Titan, but you’ll find it’s limits when tines bend or it’s too heavy because it needs lots of cheap steel to make up for lack of strength.
@@LSE_TRACTOR I got a CK4010se cab. When I signed paper work I paid for a 4030. When I went to pick it up it has a 4030C. Didn’t know if it was a new model or what.. looks like the older 4010 loader but idk
@@BossSwanger allow me to answer. Throughout this whole worldwide shortage of everything, Kioti’s biggest problem was a shortage of Korean manufactured KL4030’s. What they did was quite clever. If the Koreans couldn’t keep up, perhaps someone else could. They approached the Canadian company that makes the KL4030 for CK10’s destined for Canada, and discovered that they had extra capacity. The KL4030C is born.
