Skidding grapple for sale

[richy_B]

Anyone interested in a skidding grapple for an alpine tractor? I've sold my AGT and moved to a multione so the grapple ( RRZ110 brand new from Riko 18 months ago) is now surplus. Very light use and great condition. Perfect behind an alpine tractor.

 

£1350 plus VAT new, sensible offers considered. Can be collected/viewed in West London. Will help load, can put on a pallet and strap up for a courier.

 

Will post some pictures later but it's one of these:

Very nice! I don't personally need that attachment but I kind of wish I did.

 

Is it not a handy attachment for your multione?

That’s for a three point linkage, a MO uses a standard mini skid attachement.

Having said that I see it’s on an Avant thing that makes it compatible.

He seems to have the necessary inbetweeny bit.

So I see, I’ll shut up now!

Yes. It's a 3pt linkage grapple ideally for a alpine tractor. It's on a 3pt linkage adaptor for my MO (I just move 3pt linkage kit around with it, etc).

It is a very useful grab but I already have a couple of different types of grapple for the MO so I'm selling it on.

It's a really quick way of moving timber shorter distances where a timber trailer would be cumbersome (I found upto 100 metres it was really quick compared to a trailer).

You can either lift short lengths using the butt plate (I could do 3-4 metres lengths but depends on your tractor weight) or you can drag / 'skid' long lengths or whole trees. All without leaving the drivers seat!

Presumably if the buyer had a little fetching arch or similar for the thin end, they could lift the whole length off the ground for clean extraction?

Yes, I'd expect so. I guess you could lift one end and put some sort of trolley under, secure with a ratchet the change ends and away.
