I'm wanting to get a grapple for my tractor, a Grand L3010. But I would need quick attach so I could easily switch from FEL bucket to the grapple.
Called Kubota dealer today and he said the grapple is no problem but the quick attach for a tractor this old would be hard to impossible.
And they do not deal with other vendors quick attach set ups only Kubota.
So looking for recommendations.
 
Doc,

I see someone already suggested TractorMike for QA kits.

I got my Grapple here and they are the toughest, best backed on the market. Mine was one of the originals and they have just gotten better and tougher since then.

My quick attached is from Ai2 who only builds for BX tractors - sorry. It is one slick set up.

I didn't realize the quick attach was that expensive. Sticker shock. And I haven't even priced the grapple yet.
Thanks OPPG. What size grapple did you get and what was the price please?
 
I got the 48" to fit on my BX. The grapple was about $1400 at that time. Pre-covid, pre-Biden. I paid another $400 for an Ai2 quick attach which is a plate that mounts on the loader arm with permanent pins. Then you have these pins with a handle on them that allow you to lock it on. Ai2 was brought by another manufacture but their products are still made. The grapple is a real back saver but I will admit it does not like cross-slopes. Lifting on level ground is fine. That's another reason I like the idea of a grapple option on that digger. I hope the river has start receding there.

Thanks PawPaw,
I'd need a 54" grapple. Will price a few set ups but it appears it will be at or over $3000. Way more than I had thought of putting into it.
River has crested. It did not get as high as they predicted. At least it is on the way down now. All roads around me remain open.

I'll be your friend Doc. :)
Too bad I probably don't have anything you don't have yourself already.
In my friend circle, we each bring different pieces of equipment to the table. There are so many pieces that get used so little by one person we all just share it. E.g.
6' Box blade
3PH rototiller
3PH landscape rake
3PH post hole digger
grapple
log splitters (but I think everyone has one now)
....
 
That is an awesome set up Zoomer. Thanks Friend. Wish you were close by.
I have all that except the 3PH post hole digger, grapple and log splitter.
I guess you all have the same quick attach make so you can share the grapple.
 
We are very good friends.
He'll "let" me drive it but he prefers to come over and help (and do his own tractor driving).
It's fun and seriously productive when we do both tractors together. E.g. we move and spread/grade 50 ton of product (be it stone, millings, dirt...) in an hour or so. He does the heavy lifting, I do the grading.
