He gives real numbers: forks around $1,000, grapple around $1,200, total $2,400-2,500 versus $3,500-4,000 for other grapple styles, plus notes on the hydraulic hookup, cylinder size, grease points, and the gap limiting small-diameter tree grabbing. Useful for buyers comparing grapple options and budgets.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions and real costs from installing this attachment themselves.
The forks ran around $1,000 and the grapple attachment around $1,200, for a total of about $2,400 to $2,500 tied up into the setup.
He says other style grapples to fit this tractor would cost anywhere from $3,500 to $4,000, making the HLA setup significantly cheaper.
Not well. In the closed position there is a gap, so trees smaller than that diameter will just flop around instead of being held tight.
He did a quick hookup running hydraulic hoses back to the rear remotes, which works but is a pain since the hoses wrap up on the front.
