The Most Economical Way to Add a Grapple
Grapples are great for moving around a lot of items. If there's brush down in the forest, if you have a log to pick up to chain saw, if you want to move around some fence posts, having a way to clamp down on the load makes the job so much easier. But a lot of us don't have tractors with quick attach buckets, we may not want the hassle of switching implements often, or we may be on a budget and not want to spend a lot of money on a grapple. The Add-A-Grapple is the answer.
The Add A Grapple is a device that mounts on the sides and top of the loader bucket (see my installation video here: https://youtu.be/vnwh3-LBUPQ) and gives the ability to use the bucket for a grapple. The standard Add A Grapple fits loader buckets from 60" to 79" and comes in single and double grapple modes. There's also a Mini Add A Grapple for sub compact tractors that will fit buckets from 36" to 55" wide with a single grapple. It's the most economical way I've ever found to add a grapple to a tractor.
I tested the Add A Grapple in different scenarios, moving brush, rocks, fence posts, waste hay and lifting logs, and once I got the hang of how to use it, it worked great. The Add A Grapple works best if you tilt the bucket going into the load so when the grapple comes down to clamp on it, the tip of the bucket and the grapple touch just above the ground. It's pretty amazing what you can pick up and move with this device on the tractor.
If I were going to use the Add A Grapple extensively for brush removal, I feel like a tooth bar on the bucket would enhance the productivity. Having a method to "comb" the ground for brush without digging in, in my humble opinion, would make the device much more effective. It still works well just like it is.
If you've always wanted a grapple but can't justify paying $2500 for a dedicated attachment, the Add-A-Grapple might be the answer. As I post this, a single Add-A-Grapple is $795, a Mini Add-A-Grapple is $695 (plus shipping on both) and are available here: https://asktractormike.com/products-for-sale/tractor-attachments/. You do have to have front tractor hydraulics to run the Add-A-Grapple, a kit to give you that option is here: https://asktractormike.com/product/hydraulic-diverter-valve-for-tractor/.
