Catawba John Deere 60 Rake Grapple Lightweight

Grapple was shipped securely on a wood pallet wrapped in shrink wrap plastic. Arrived undamaged. Shipping was Free! Unwrapping revealed excellent quality manufacturIng and welding. Unique and clever storage of hydraulic hoses in frame. (No caps to cover hydraulic fittings). Easily mounted on tractor. The unit was shipped without hydraulic fluid. Required approximately one gallon to fill cylinders and lines. Grapple works excellent! Tested on firewood, logs, brush, and back dragging. I definitely need time and experience to get proficient with this attachment. I am very happy with the quality and construction of this grapple and glad I chose Catawba Attachments for my purchase. I looked at many other manufactures before making my decision on Catawba. A shout out to Mark Farnsworth for his help when ordering and answering all my questions, especially with the hydraulic coupling size and type. His expertise saved time and avoided any future problems. Thanks to all at Catawba Attachments! Great Job! Made in the USA!!
