I am buying a new skid steer with a grapple. What brand do you recommend or think I should stay away from?

I ended up buying a New Holland LS 180 with a Loflin grapple bucket. The grapple was an extra $2100. It's not a log grapple but a brush grapple. It will still pick up logs and is useful for clearing underbrush.

Is the machine/grapple new? What size machine is that? I'm not really that familiar w/ New Holland. Personally have only ran Bobcat and Case.

I'm talking about just the attachment not the entire machine.
I was renting machine and trailer for 1800 month, including standard scoop bucket. the machine was 1300 mo. trailer around 400 , and then some tax.
Blows me away how the grapple could cost almost the same to rent as the machine, considering the machines overall cost in well over double of the grapples cost.
