I ordered the W.R. Long RBG3 root rake grapple, and when I went to pick it up, the dealer noticed me looking at the Kioti KG4066 grapple. What caught my eye was the cylinders on the Kioti being in the back instead of on top, like the RBG3. The KG4066 had cylinder shields installed, and the metal was thicker. Both are made of AR400 steel, but the KG4066 steel is thicker. The KG4066 retails for about $600 more, and when I was offered the choice of either grapple for the same price, I chose the Kioti KG4066. I hope I made the right decision. So far I’m impressed with the grapple.

The grapple is operated by my Bad Boy 4035h tractor, which I purchased mainly due to the 2,200lb loader capacity. I knew the loader would be used heavily (no pun intended) on the property for tasks just like this.
