What's your budget, and what's your preference of machine characteristics?

I'll look around. When you say grapple, do you mean the Branch Manager Grapple? What's your timeline? Trying to get it in on this year's taxes or do you have time?
I thought the BMG was the best for the general tree work before I was seen as a biased dealer rep. If the BMG is the way your leaning, I offer a forum discount on nearly all our products.

Sure, that makes sense.
A quick Ebay search shows quite a good options that fit your criteria.

$2253 is the forum price for a grapple by itself.

Haha no it couldn't. That's a Thomas, only weighs 1450lbs by itself. A larger machine, such as the Boxer 532, Vermeer 800, or Ditch Witch 650 could have lifted it. As it were, I just slid it up the ramps.

I'll have to check shipping wed, but the last things I sent to the ATL area were a couple hundred dollars. That was pre Sandy though.
Give me a zip code to get the quote to. I recommend delivering to a business address to save the residential delivery fees. When I am delivering things to myself in MS (not to the dealership in MN), I use a business with a large parking lot and meet the truck there with my loader to unload (saves lift gate fees unless it's light enough for me to pick up). Most common is the O Reilly's as I'm friends with the manager there, although I have used a strip mall's parking lot as well.

Alright, I'll get a shipping estimate via PM unless you want to give me a phone number or email address.

Sweet!
There are used ones from time to time although the newer units open 7" wider which is a big help for bunching brush, grabbing plywood/sidewalks, etc.
No one I've sold a grapple to has regretted it.
I got a text from a few days ago from a fellow TreeBuzzer near Chicago; "[T]he grapple has created such an increase in production, it flat out makes money. Thank you for opening me up to that."

Jeff, let me talk to Dad, we have a BMG we might be willing to part ways with. Its actually the exact same one attached to that Thomas thats pictured in this thread, I bought it and the Thomas off of Carl approx 10 months ago. Give me a day to get back to you if you're interested.
