“I bought this grapple about three years ago.it works great I put it on a John Deere 5045e. Yes I did modify it to fit. The way I modified it a skid steer will still hook up to it. I have loaded 24 inch logs up to 18 ft with no problem I have even dug up small stumps and rocks with it. Still no problem with it. I have even up graded to a 5075e and have been just about a rough on it as any body can be and it has stayed together and took what the two tractors have put to it. Yes it is very heavy for them I have put water in the rear tires. But I think by buying it built so heavy that it is still worth buying. I am running three different styles of grapples now and all three came from Titan. I have picked up all of mine so I can't comment on the shipping”

“I researched grapples for two years until I finally purchased this unit for my Case 1845C. It is hands down the cheapest on the market but it is better built than I expected. Initially I had to modify the mounting plate as I have read others needed to do as well before it would fit the machine. It was off about a 1/4" for my Case skid steer locking pins. I simply cut out the material from the pin holes and had no problem hooking up after that. It is large, it is heavy. The shipping crate (metal frame with wood skid) was pretty much destroyed by UPS who also delivered it later than initially indicated but the unit it self was undamaged and I do not fault Titan for the delay. I have used this for a total of 8 hours so far and have had zero issues other than it is a little difficult to climb in and out of the machine because there is no foot plate to step on. I also have watched all of the YouTube videos of guys complaining about the quality and to be honest I don't believe this unit should fail if used with the reasonable expectation that it is not a $4,500 forestry attachment. I have used it to move slash piles, brush piles, fallen logs cut to 16', and also to load large square hay and straw bales. Overall I am pleased as it has exceeded my expectations albeit they were not that high to begin with.”

“I bought this grapple to use with mt 2018 LSxu6158C. It fit right on to my quick attach loader and everything worked as it should. I have moved more than 50 trees and a ton of large rocks with no problem. I'm glad I bought it!”

“This Grapple is a Beast. It is pretty heavy. IÃ¢â‚¬™m using it on a kubota mx5200 4wd with the LA1065 loader. My tractor handles it pretty good. I have cleared about 2 acres so far of heavy pines and thick brush. I have pushed in 4wd with all my tractor had and I have not bent anything on this grapple. Right out of the crate it was ready to go. It comes with Flat faces couplers. The grapple clamping force is very strong to. I can grapple a 4x5 hay bale and pick it straight up.”

“I ordered this grapple despite the description saying it fits a skidster. The pictures show it on my exact John Deere 5045E, so I figured hey, I could make it work if they could... Once I received it I realized it was way too heavy for my equipment and I'd have to cut and rework the contact points for my front end loader/attachment points on the grapple. Nevertheless, instead of returning the item, I listed it on craigslist and had it sold within a few days at the same price that I purchased it. No worries. Its very well-built. Real heavy duty. I ended up ordering the 60" clamshell for the john deere. Can't wait for it to arrive!”

“I have had this grapple for nearly a year and use it in logging on my Kubota; it is great, but i wanted to lengthen the hoses and found that i can't match the fittings used in building it. I figure it comes from China and has some weird fittings that U.S. hydraulic hose companies can't match...other than that it is great...”
