Looking for a Grapple Bucket Bucket ASAP!

[jhgilliland]

My father is headed back to Texas for storm cleanup. Just picked up an 873 Bobcat and needs to pick up a grapple bucket. Anyone know where he can pick up a new one. Most places are saying the is a 2-4 week wait. He has a contract with a bourgh in Texas. He ran home (to PA) to pick up a gooseneck dump and an 873 Bobcat. He is headed for texas again tommorow and he is hoping to pick something up on the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

He better get the grapple before he gets too far south. Hurricanes make tractor grapples sparse. Last year for storm work I had the same problem and ended up renting pallet forks. They worked pretty good for "plan B."

Good luck, wish I was more help.

There are several of them for sale on Ebay w/Buy It Now prices ranging from $2600 to $3600. Some look really heavy duty. Depending on where the sellers are, he might be able to pick it up on the way over or have them ship it to TX.

thanks for the help guys. He ended up finding one yesterday evening. Most of the ones on ebay either have a wait period or are a little smaller than he was looking for. Thanks though.
