Purchased a Rake-Grapple-Rake, front hoe bucket and pallet forks from Artillian. All the products came superbly packaged. I’ve been super amazed with the versatility of all the products I bought. The front hoe bucket has remove several stumps from my property. My favorite has got to be the grapple. It saves my back every time I use it. Great products from a solid company.
Thanks for the brochure! I’ll be looking over it carefully. Last Saturday I took my 1025R to my church for a day of clean up. The recent Derecho wind storm (think cat 2 hurricane force winds for an hour) really devastated Iowa. The tractor really helped in the cleanup. However, we needed two huge bushes taken out as well. Your hoe bucket did the job. Great tool!
I purchased a double grapple bucket with a rake in between them and all of the hydraulics . I THOUGHT I was having trouble bleeding the air out of the system. No it turned out it bleeds the air out on it’s own quite well. My problem was learning how to use the forward and back lever and push the button at the same time to make it work. Sometimes we make a problem in our heads when it is much simpler, just learn how to use the switch. I really like the grapple it came well packaged over 2000,00 miles not one broken box and a day early. They sure know their work not one scratch. Thank you
My Artillian grapple made this Springs barn cleaning so much easier. The sheep winter bedding is dense and very heavy but no match for a grapple. This year I tied my stall mat grip handles to the grapple to pick up the stall mats. Brilliant! I wish I had thought of that before! It made it wicked easy to haul them out, wash off, and return. Thanks, Artillian!
It is good to talk to you. Thanks for the information on my forks.
Here are the picture that we discussed. I am restoring a ’50 Ford pickup and have used the forks for a variety of things, Here are just a few including moving an old cab from my work shop back to my barn.
1950 Ford flathead V-8 with 4-speed T90 transmission.
I finally got around to installing the diverter system on my 1025r. It was a breeze. 2 hours and I was in business. The instructions are incredibly clear and concise. Who ever wrote these, hats off.
I purchased a Rake Grapple Rake from Artillian and I am amazed at the work I was able to complete with this tool. It is simple to install and using it has been a pleasure. I had 22 trees come down on my property on February 8, 2019. I was quoted astronomical prices to dispatch the trees that came down so I decided to buy a new sub compact tractor after researching Artillian as well. And it is unbelievable what a tool that the grapple rake grapple truly is. Also the support that Artillian Offers is second to none, thanks Tom at Artillian for all of your suggestions and help And most of all being available when I needed you.
Outside of a little barn cleaning a couple of weeks ago, I finally got a chance to give my grapple a real workout in the orchard picking up branches, brush, and some small trees from this Springs prunings.
I can now collect, stack, and haul lots of brush saving me tons of work. I got so much practice that I swear I can now pick up a nickel with this thing!
Thanks again for your care!
I just want to tell you what a great job Artillian did with the grapple design and kitting. Everything fit perfectly once I experimented with hose placement until I found the correct lay. I did add my own Deutsch connectors as I had previously installed a Painless Performance Aux Fuse Block and I wanted a tidier install. I also used your switch without the plastic mount as I found it more ergonomic for me.
I’ve had a chance to use it already starting with barn cleanup. I had to remove a huge pile of soiled hay that had accumulated all winter and the grapple made short work of it. Next, I used it to gather up some of the apple tree prunings from our apple orchard. I am faced with branches and brush scattered over 50 trees or so. I’m waiting for mud season to end so that I can get back out there to finish the job and I’m chomping at the bit already.
