Hey guys im in the market for a grapple for my 1025r with the 120R loader.

Ive seen so many diffrent grapples available now.

I was looking at the Wicked grapple and CTA version .

Just curious if anyone has used these or any others?

Im looking to do some clearing on my 6 acre bush/treed lot.

Great topic. Thanks for starting. I was wanting
To look into this myself.

I’m also wondering what hydraulic adds I need to make to use one. I have the exact same set up as you.
Just go here.... Hydraulic Products
Pretty much plug and play. If you know nothing about hydraulics, fittings, valves, etc., THIS is the way to go. Or you can spend hours researching this stuff, and then spend money buying the wrong stuff - and then buy the Artillian setup anyway! Ask me how I know. :laugh:

If you can do a little fab work (for the mounting brackets) and have a local source for hoses and fittings, buy here... Ken's Bolt on Grab Hooks . The valve and the switch are the same as the Artillian, but you'll need to measure and have made your own hoses, etc.

Both Artillian and BoltOnHooks (aka KennyD) are site vendors/supporters - so buying from them helps support this site. Plus, KennyD is one of the nicest, most helpful guys on the planet when it comes to our green tractors.

I have had the CTA grapple for three summers now. Started out on my 2016 1025 with the artillian dirvertor and I have it on my 2038 now with the RWLong third function kit. Its very well built.

I just got the Frontier AV20F grapple. See this thread here. Since I was buying the machine new, and I wanted the versatility of a real third hydraulic circuit, I also ordered it with the new 3rd SCV kit, so not diverter.
