I don't know if it is the most useful attachment but is is clearly the most fun one!
You've obviously never had to clean up after a hurricane.
My grapple is used weekly.

Living in eastern NC, I actually and unfortunately have had the hurricane cleanup! I still would rank my bucket as #1. It is interesting to me, because when I bought my tractor my mind was more focused on what I would drag behind than on what would be upfront. Even the front hydraulics that I use for the grapple were a second thought add on to the rear hydraulics that I had installed for when I would rent the no-till drills from the local NRCS. My #1&2 most used attachments are clearly my bucket and my grapple with the latter being way more fun!!

I mounted the green machine thumb on the factory bucket with aftermarket titan weld on 6 tooth bar. I added an electronic diverter valve and push button activator on the joystick.
I don't have a big tractor but man is it nice for grabbing stuff.
I did have to add a 5" channel welded to the top of the bucket, below the thumb mount, because I bent the factory bucket top. These cylinders are strong.

Nice looking grapple. I got a new tractor this year and bought it outfitted with a grapple. My first one, and really handy. Loving it so far. Good luck with yours.

My goal is to heat my house 100% with firewood so I've been cutting and splitting quite a bit lately. This grapple will help with cleaning up the limbs. Going to add a polebarn as a garage and workshop as well so I'm clearing for that as well

I took down some 32 year old Blue Spruce trees this week and was just thinking how nice it would be to have a grapple. Green with envy.

Haha. Shipping back would have cost too much. 11 pounds of sockeye was about $170
Grapple is from everything attachments. Nice piece of equipment. I was a little nervous buying it without seeing it in person but no complaints yet

It's what they call a third function. It's basically an additional valve they connect to your existing hydraulics and you have an electric button added on your joystick to control it.
