The new barn an new skid steer left me in-want of another grapple; while I was at it, I decided to go with a steffen style as it had added height and appears easier to use when you can't see the top of the stack from a skid steer.
Here is the grapple that I've been fabricobbling on.
I used the Steffen's style as I plan on only using this one to unload from the wagons into the barn and out of the barn back onto customers' trailers. I doubt it would work well in the field as it won't “crowd” the pack to tighten it up prior to loading.
This is what I have in it, so far. I have not installed took possession of the cylinder yet, so there are no cylinders or hoses on it yet.

Note, there is steel left-over from the build that can be used for other projects, but the cost is attributable to the build as it was a necessary purchase in whole-lengths.
