The problem with the Titan and another one simular I looked at is the extra 170 pounds of weight, as well as the design and quality of the of the grapple itself. These Jinmas are pretty lightweight when it comes to loader capacity. Add in the weight of a quik tach bracket and a 450 lb grapple and now we’re already well over half capacity.
Here’s the one I was looking at: https://www.everythingattachments.com/Compact-Tractor-Wicked-Root-Grapple-50-Single-lid-p/eta-cut-sl-rg-50.htm
Only problem is I need one now, not 3 months from now. :negative:
Here’s the link: https://www.everythingattachments.com/Default.asp Don’t know about the wildfire situation in Washington, Bob could fill you in. With the house fire I find myself opening three hours earlier just to get out of the motel.
I’m looking to get a 5th wheel to put on the property, the rental market here is non existent, especially if you have pets. This @#$&@ place has turned into Aspen west. When I moved here there were 3000 people in town. Now 30,000. You could buy a house in town for 40,000, 50,000 in Bend Now? 280,000 in Redmond, 460,000 average in Bendover! :wacko:
Nothing. Four emails, one phone message left. Nada. This from a place that has sent me at least 50 emails in the past trying to sell me attachments. There’s a place in North Carolina that makes really nice ones but they said they were 4 months behind. And that was before the hurricane.
Did you notice that CTOA was down for a couple of days? Appears that a lot of recent posts were lost.

I did notice that. What happened Hal? On another note I found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202401092669?ViewItem=&item=202401092669
Made here and about the same price as a Titan grapple that bolts to your existing bucket. I’m also looking to order this: https://www.ebay.com/i/113104088700?rt=nc&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3D1b9bc700c1c84875ac356bd6d981bc43%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D16%26sd%3D273084587002%26itm%3D113104088700
I can get this in 1/4″ too to save weight. Cut the ears off the old bucket and weld to the adapters for the loader, weld the other plate to the old bucket and buy the grapple bucket, now I already have two attachments with the Quick attach setup. By the way, my house burned to the ground on the 7th, in about 5 minutes while I was at work. My wife and a friend visiting, and our daughter were home and all got out OK. Lost a lot of old cars too, will post pics. That’s why I need the grapple.
Here’s a picture, they sure must have changed a lot between 06 and late 07. As you can see, the battery’s out of the way, but the steering reservoir and the air cleaner sure do a fine job of blocking it.
Well I looked this morning and I’m afraid I cant help you. My Dec 2007 284 already has the battery well below the radiator.
I meant to look at mine this weekend Larry, but since I work half days on Saturday life kinda runs me over. I’ll make it a point to look before work in the morning. I know they’re welded on the outside, the rough welds from the factory wore a hoke in a steering hose, it’s where else is it welded that’s the question.
With a gravel driveway I’m worried about picking up rocks and flinging them. I’ve finally figured out the best angle for the bucket,but maybe this will be the year I pick up a 6′ atv blade and fashion brackets for the bucket. :scratch: Two years ago we had more snow than I can remember in thirty years here, last year almost nothing. Don’t miss the cougar tracks bigger than my snow boot heel though :yes:
