Just ordered one of these grapple forks. They are not real heavy duty units and there are others on the market that I think are a lot better constructed. But for the cost I thought it would work well for my JD3038E and be plenty heavy duty for it. It has hookups also for the larger loaders like on my JD5083E so I will be able to use it on it also, although I will have to be somewhat careful and use some judgement because I think it could be easily torn up on that size tractor. The smaller tractor is mostly where I want it anyway. I already have extra remote outlets on both tractors.

If I was wanting to use it heavily, I would have went up in quality. But for my intended use I think it will be fine. Lot better than my hands and back.

grapple for JD tractor loader

I've wanted one for years for my play tractor. Have a rock bucket with grapple for one of our bigger loaders, and have moved a lot of brush with it.
