Overview
Brock compares four grapple and bucket options side by side, a dedicated Artisan Iron Fist grapple, an Add-A-Grapple bolt-on, a skid steer rock grapple, and the Artisan rock bucket with dual add-on grapples, then puts the last one to work on heavy logs and rocky disturbed soil. He gives actual pricing (roughly $3,100 all-in) and weight (340 lbs), plus honest notes on its limits. Best for compact tractor owners weighing grapple-versus-rock-bucket purchase decisions.
An owner-operator channel that documents real working use of equipment on their own property, with an affiliate relationship noted in the channel description, so mild product favorability is possible.
