Is there an affordable JD quick-attach grapple bucket available for a firewood cutter? I burn ~12 cords per year but like to cut a bit in advance, so will be bucking 15-20 per season. Picking up logs with a standard loader bucket is a genuine pain. Using a chain is better, but sloooowww.
Having a grapple to load the trailer or to use for bucking would make my life much easier. The cost, though is a bit hard to take for some manufacturers. are there reasonably inexpensive models out there that will fit a compact utility tractor (4600 HST with 460 loader)?
I may end up welding my own, since I'm a cheap bastage...
