I do like the Wicked 55” grapple, built very well but the best benefit it’s only 239 lbs !!

Yeah, this one's probably about that same weight.
BTW mine is the land pride brand that Kubota sells.

Have a nice big glass of milk after welding to, it helps the nausea that can come on from breathing in zinc fumes.

It coats the stomach

When I was looking to buy a grapple I was torn between a standard 5' or 6'wide grapple bucket with a double piston and a stump/root/rock grapple that I could use for a lot of different purposes. I ended up buying the stump/root/rock grapple as it is much more versatile. I'll post a picture of it later on when I go over to my woodlot and take a picture.

In the UK they call them quad bikes.

Here's how the conversation goes. "Go get Mike's machine to haul this brush out". "What machine"? MIKE'S MACHINE"! "Which One"? "The one that pulls the thing through the snow"! "Oh, the snow mobile"? "No, it's not big enough"! "OH, he's not going to let us bring his $20,000 4X4 JD diesel out here to haul brush". "F-IT, just give me your lighter, I'll burn the brush pile". "Hey, look, here comes Mike on his 4 wheeler with the cart"! "F-U"

Yes, mine is a Land Pride.

We have a couple 3 point implements that are made by land pride. All seem to be of good quality. Paints real nice and holding up well and the welds look to be good as well. Not sure if they are done by hand or machine. But all in all nice equipment for sure

How big is that loader? My little 20 HP 4X4 China Machine weighs about 3,000, but it's only rated to lift 900 pounds, it won't do that! Believe it or not, that rock was a bit over 900 pounds. At least that's what the quarry said. No ballast on the back. Every time I touched the brakes the rear tires came off the ground.

Ratz, missed a day or two and started at the end and worked my way back, and you already answered my questions. I have a 60" Land Pride ZTR. I was getting an idler pulley for it and told my dealer that someone told me Land Pride was made by TSC? Thought he was going to hit me. He gave me the history of Land Pride. He wasn't real happy when Kubota bought them out. He said 6 months before the buy out a Kubota rep came by and told them what was going to happen. My friend was a big land Pride Dealer and sold lots of their ZTR's. The rep told him not to worry, when Kubota takes over, they are not going to take your dealership. A few weeks after they took over, they got a notice that Kubota was killing the Land Pride lawn division. They didn't take his dealership, the just didn't make his product anymore.

All our snow is gone, and I was in a Tee shirt today, my outdoor thermometer said 64°.

Should get cold again soon!

Land Pride ?

I have no clue who built this. I bought it from a retired contractor. It was stored in his building and never used. It has HD welded on the back of the mount. There is no name plate on it. The main frame is 1/2" plate and tubing. The digger part is 3/8" plate. All the pins have a grease fittings on them. The opening is 44 inches wide. It works awesome for popping fieldstones out of our New England soil and moving them to another place. I have used it to add rocks on stonewalls. It works great for moving brush and logs too. Small stumps I can pop right out of the ground. Multi Flora Rose bushes get pulled right out of the ground.

297 drivers in our company the last time they took a head count. Any time you hear one of them say "four wheeler" they're talking atv's.

Looks similar to my buddies stump bucket. I used his to dig out a yard hydrant after I got tired of the shovel. . Gonna use it to dig a trench for a drain pipe when things dry out.
