It's a hands-on install walkthrough rather than a buying guide, and it skips a real-world demo of the grapple in use. Best for owners ready to buy and install one.
Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
The single is the economy model with no hoses or fittings, so you add those yourself. The double is fully plumbed with hoses and fittings teed together and has two grapples.
Yes, you must have front-end loader remote hydraulics in order to power the Add-A-Grapple.
Mike drilled a 3/16 pilot hole, then a 1/2-inch hole, using a 3/4 socket and breaker bar for the bolts.
It takes eight holes on a side to mount the frame onto the loader bucket.
