Land Pride SGC0554 Grapple

Thinking about getting a grapple for your subcompact tractor? Here's the Landpride SGC0554. What I like and don't like about it.

[@carlhausler9666]

He said "dropped a log" :) . Great video Sam! Thank you

[@user-scooter1965]

Another great video Sam. I have a land clearing project coming up and you convinced me that a grapple is a must have attachment. I hope that the ground dries up quickly for you.

[@otisbailey5455]

LandPride 60 inch has the lower cross bar. Love it. You must consider total weight of the grapple you choose based on your machine capability.

[@tomruotsalainen5909]

I made two more joints on my grapple as the other ones kept breaking on this grapple. Also made bolt on extensions for the upper tines so I could pick up smaller material such as brush

[@samsdoinstuff]

Nice mods! I guess if they were built better from the factory, they'd cost more 🤔

[@jeffpoulos4387]

Great videos, your going to drop a log had dieing. Congratulations of your subscriber growth and look forward to watching the channel grow. I’m here I n Ashtabula county so your struggles with weather I can truly relate to.

[@pierrelevac3794]

There is a trade off if you get another heavier built grapple. "Weight " the extra pipe at the bottom racks is a fair compromise and you end up with still fairly light implement. Great video 👍

[@samsdoinstuff]

Very good point! Thanks!

[@user-ph4bc1rp7w]

It's amazing how strong the small tractors are! I have the L3301 with the same grapple and it's a HORSE for sure! Great video!

[@samsdoinstuff]

Yes! It always surprises me and I don't know how I lived without one before! Really love that grapple 😁👍

[@mikesidden8762]

OMG! When you said "You're gonna drop a log", I nearly choked to death on a piece of ice from my lemonade!! Great video!! Keep'em comin'! 🤣

[@samsdoinstuff]

Hahahaha!!! Thanks 😁🤘

[@TheNovaNorm]

Thanks for the video. Your slip up reminded me of when I was dealing cards. I needed an ace but instead I pinched off a deuce.

[@samsdoinstuff]

Haha! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@MannistoCay]

Excellent video on the grapple, liked the tree slalom course. 🚜👍🏼🌴🇨🇦 Liked & Sub.

[@johnathaneaston7976]

I didn't know that the grapple is also a root rake. That will really come in handy while cleaning up that yard.

[@originalfallinggirl]

The little yellow box on the back of your tractor is cute but does it come in any other colors? I think a bold cobalt would look gorgeous with that firry orange of the tractor. Don’t worry about accessorizing too. I’d add a few more popping accent accessories to really bring it alive. This tractor has so much potential. I hope to see you at fashion week in Paris next fall with your tractor. It deserves the attention.

Hi I have Kubota tractor 2610 with the 60 inch grapple I’m a tree climber and have lifted many logs it works great I’m so happy with kubota and landpride grapple it’s been almost 2 years now I should have bought it years ago😊

[@samsdoinstuff]

Definitely one of the best attachments for tree work. No question. Glad to hear you feel the same! And thanks for watching and contributing ❤️

[@Mavaholic]

I also have a BX with a Land Pride grapple. Bought them both 7 years ago and I have used and abused both with no problems. My grapple is a 40" and has 6 tines like your 54". I believe that is why I have never bent one. They are closer together. I have had logs ripped out of them and carried so much weight the back tires were bouncing off the ground, even with my counter weight on the 3 pt. For anyone with a compact looking for a grapple, I would highly recommend the 40" Land Pride. The tractor will determine the max you can manipulate, not the grapple size.

[@samsdoinstuff]

That's great to hear. I have not had any problems since I reinforced mine. Having a grapple is the best 😁👍

[@ValleyLife956]

Awesome! Hello from S.Texas... I'm about to pick up my Kubota with a Grapple...🙌

[@samsdoinstuff]

You won't be disappointed my friend! Enjoy 😁

[@timothyheim9507]

I think we've all dropped a log or two in our day. Bahahahahahaha! Nice job and another great video well done!

[@ticklemeorange8328]

Really good demo and info, I’m thinking of picking a grapple up this summer… Question, what is the brand of your canopy?

[@samsdoinstuff]

This is a link to the manufacturer's website for the sunshade: www.cozycab.com/product-category/sunshades/

@@samsdoinstuff Thanks

[@robertzapatka1082]

Did your tractor come with a third function kit or did you install it and if separate how expensive was it?

[@samsdoinstuff]

I had the third function kit installed by the dealer when I got the grapple. I'm pretty sure the whole bill was roughly $2,500. It's a Land Pride 3rd function and it works well.

[@robertzapatka1082]

@@samsdoinstuff great. Another informative video. I think you're going places! See you next Saturday at 6:00 sharp!

[@matthewbarker8864]

I came to ask if youve tried it with rocks but then noticed the other commenters comment that he bent his on rocks. I want to move brush but also play around with some rocks. Ive seen videos of the deere option handling rocks no problem but looks like i will pass on this option from Kubota and look elsewhere.

[@samsdoinstuff]

I think I'd have to be extremely careful if I were using the Landpride grapple to pick up large rocks. It could probably be done, but I'd be afraid of bending one of those bottom teeth again.

[@user-dn2rt5lq4w]

I use my grapple on stone all the time and log 3 days a week on a B3301 never bent my land pride grapple

[@midcoasttractorservice9182]

I wouldn't be surprised if you dont bend the teeth on the clamp as well. I bought the Top dog Grapple from RK. I am not easy on it and the only thing I have done was pull out a zerk fitting tryind to lube it.

[@samsdoinstuff]

If I did it again, I'd buy a wicked grapple from Everything Attachments

[@midcoasttractorservice9182]

@@samsdoinstuff To be completely honest i only bought it because i had enough money on my credit card and they had one lol but in the end i feel it is overbuilt and people are sleeping on it! It is basically what that new tractor is selling with a few changes.

[@MarkDecamps]

Which canopy is that?

[@markcole6475]

EA is still way behind in production …..I checked with them months ago and never got a reply back! Granted they use AR450 steel while the land pride grapple uses AR400 …still strong!

[@samsdoinstuff]

I'm good now that I have the reinforced bottom teeth. I think as long as you have a grapple (no matter what brand) you're a happy "tractorer"

[@markcole6475]

@@samsdoinstuff right on! Using equipment properly will help also. I see so many people using a grapple with the top link extended half way out pushing against a tree or using it like a bulldozer! Or clamping too large of a rock on one end of the grapple cause the lot link to twist. I’ll be looking into reinforcing the bottom tines on my grapple also….thanks for the tip

[@skeets6060]

Just remember if you aint got some bent teeth you aint using it !!!

[@09X19]

bent mine picking up rocks

[@samsdoinstuff]

Ugh.. feel ya brother

[@markcole6475]

How big of rocks were you picking up? Were you picking them up from the center of the grapple?

[@Living-The-Dream]

Nice video Sam ! That grapple is the ticket 👍great improvement you made to it also. 🚜💪👍🪵🇺🇸
