BMG Grapple Rake mounting ideas

[NJTree]

We just purchased a Bandit 19XP that has a bunch of space on it for mounting various equipment. We have the Grapple Rake that goes with the BMG grapple. Looking for photos of mounting solutions that people have come up with to transport the rake on equipment.

This is what my new storage is currently looking like in the enclosed trailer. It seems to ride on here just fine, however I do plan on adding an anchor point to the wall with a spliced piece of cordage as a backup.

The hanger bracket is made from 3/8" thick angle iron.

If it were my setup I probably build a bracket that a parallels the tongue. Not a weld on design but a bolt on design.

Congrats on the new acquisition. Do you have any photos of the chipper ? Whereabouts are you thinking would work?

John Deere 6cyl or gas?

Make sure you see BMG's ideas on that and trailer he had all set up. Search function might find pictures that have been posted here.

Where would this be at Merle?

Upper right hand corner of my phone screen. Easier to see on my laptop screen.

Thanks all for the input. I was thinking over the drivers side fender, kind of where the fuel tank is located. Would fit nicely there. Need to stress to the crew that it is to be hand loaded/unloaded only, not to use the machine to put on and off the mounting bracket.
Got the gas engine, PSI 6.4L or 6.7L? No photos now, but a great chipper.
I emailed BMG last week to see if maybe Dave could share some photos with me, but have not gotten any just yet. I'll try to get some photos up later this week if I can.

You are putting a lot of faith in humanity.

I meant the 6 cyl Deere which is the 6068. Got a price from modern on a fully loaded 19 bandit with the Deere diesel and single axle for $122,000. It weighs 11,500

I got this used. Is a 2020 model year, 19XP single axle, PSI Gas engine. 1,015 hours. $55,000.

Jehinten, did you modify your rake with that piece of metal in the last photo so that you do not need to use the pin to hold it in proper orientation?

No modifications to the rake. I just cut a section out of the angle iron, then scored the two sides with an angle grinder. Hammered the two pins up then rewelded the scored corners for strength

 

[OasisTree]

So we modified our rake to fit on the side of our dump trailer, and instead of the box for the BMG we have a flange that we can pinch with our regular 4' grapple w/ tines.

That looks much more secure than mine and is probably the better option for exterior storage.
