New 50" Valby Grapple

Lumberjack · Dec 28, 2014

I bought this grapple to put on my excavator, but never put it on because I got the idea for something better (although ~8x more expensive). Tomorrow or Tuesday I'm ordering a grapple saw for my excavator.

Let me know if you're interested!

What would be involved to get that thing machine ready?

Lumberjack · Jan 14, 2015

You would need a hanger for whatever machine you're going to put it on (excavator, log loader, mini skid, full size skid, tractor, etc) and 2 sets of hydraulic hoses. Your machine may require a selector valve to split one hydraulic circuit into two, one for the grab and one for rotation.

I would be putting it on an excavator. So I'm guessing I'd buy the quick tach blank and build the hanger to connect the two......it has a 3rd valve so I think I could leave the hydraulic thumb right on?

If you have a separate circuit from the thumb you could leave it attached. My Kubota excavator has two auxiliary circuits, the thumb is on one and the other is high flow. I plan on splitting the thumb circuit with an electric valve so I'll have 3 cuircuits with one being the thumb.

Have been wanting to put together a setup like this.......using the thumb on the machine can be a pain. Just can't stretch the coin right now.

Yes it sold for a grapple on an AL540 deal we have going out. We will be getting more Valby grapples in as they get in the country.

We do have a new/unused 55" HD Valby we can sell. Weighs 420lbs, comes with a 12klb rotator. $4250 delivered inside CONUS, lists for $4605.
