I have a BC4215 and use it ALL the time. It has as you described some limitations however a little thought and planning those are overcome easily. You are so correct on the negative reviews which are unjustly being pushed as gospel. I like the fact it can be switched between my 3032 and my 4044 each tractor uses this tool differently. 3032 = brush and wood chunks and even if you rake up piles of hay in the hay barn I can grab most of it with the BC4215, might be a shovel full after the first grab. 4044 loads logs on to the processor and some of those logs are HEAVY, 3 years later just the paint is a little rough as it should be. Thank you for giving it a fair shake!

I have had my Brush Crusher 4215 for over a year now. It took me a few times using it to get use to it. This thing works great, just like he is saying you only need to grip just hard enough to hold the brush in the jaws. It get's a thumbs up from me.

this is the BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!! I love mine and have lifted more then you could ever imagine. Strong recommend it!

I bought a BC-4215 from GWT a few years ago. I like it, and love the fact that I didn't have to spend extra to run front hydraulics, but as Courtney said, it has its limitations. Not being able to drop a load into taller piles (or trailers) is a big one, but I've also had issues with small-to-medium-sized brush/trees getting tangled around the tines, and then not being able to extricate them because there's no real force (except gravity) to pull the jaws apart. When I make my second million (ha-ha!), I'm GOING to add front hydraulics (or divert my rears) and get a hydraulic grapple, but until then my BC does just fine.

I have one I got from you 2 years ago. Works pretty well within it's limitations.

Got one, love it on the 2025!

I just helped our son haul five loads of brush in a 18 foot dump trailer, correct I could not lift it over the side but we just left the ramps on the trailer and I drove up into the trailer and was able to put way more into the trailer because I could compact it better than just dropping it over the edge

I have a John Deere 3038E, No hydraulics, a feature that I now would like to have, But when I purchased the 3038E it was about cost. I have it seem like an original BC-4200 Grapple with no middle section with is a new offer. I really have worked out the BC-4200 on my tractor as it was the best solution for the price range. I have no problems dumping the load over an embankment, But I have picked up cement culverts, which weight allot, and stacked them. Try that with your hydraulic or electric grapple. LOL, Your version of the grapple in the video looks like some improvements have been made. The only irritation on my version are the grease (zerk) fitting locations. Mine seem to be off center and makes it hard to grease. Still able to do it, but just seems off to me.

Just ordered 2” wheel spacers from Bora mentioning GWT. I’m interested in a hydraulic top link for my B2650 though I’m considering upgrading to a L3902. Like the brush grapple but I’d like to see a bit more reinforcement across the lower fingers. Thinking about a landscape rake with a wheel kit.

I bought mine with my kubota this spring. Still waiting on the 3rd function valve.

Really? When I bought mine (from GWT a few years ago) it was about the same price as a decent grapple, but not also a diverter or summit kit. (And especially not adding the cost of installation, if one isn't confident in doing it himself!) Can you cite an example of a grapple and kit that's roughly the same cost as a BC-4215?

I am interested in getting a mechanical grabber, but one of my mane conserns is I need to load my trailer and take my bruch to the dump. How high can I lift that up to load my trailer?

I was going to purchase one of these for my 1025R but then I started reading comments from other KZreadrs that have stated to stay away from it because it puts too much pressure on the pin quick release latches and ends up ripping them out of the tractor and costing over $1000 to have both sides fixed and also bending the hydraulic cylinders there’s been people that have had to have this damage replaced multiple times from using this grapple and they claim that it wasn’t any work being done with it that was out of the scope of what it supposed to be used for so I’m afraid to buy one now

@Dr.I.C.Spots247

I saw the same things and ended up going with a third function and grapple. I am very happy with it and found it money very well spent.

How high can you go on the grapple to actually dump items?

Do you see any issues with this grapple running on a 3 series tractor?

Actually, i have mine set up so the bottom tine is more verticle when closed so i can drop items in to a dump trailer.

What the cost on the grapple 421

I don’t know about you but in my opinion I think it would be better if the upper portion of the grapple was stationary and the bottom had hydraulic control. That way you wouldn’t have to raise the boom as high and have better lifting capabilities.

I've been able to get a ton of work done with mine moving logs and brush. However, I've been a little disappointed with it because the arms or forks (not sure what to call them) bend too easily. I have one bent about 45 degrees to the side on the bottom and both outers on the top are bent towards the middle. It still functions ok, but it's disappointing it isn't stronger.

Hey

As a Firearm Dealer it caught my eye and I noticed the young boy with the Air Gun at the first of the video by the pond. Don't let him shoot pellets or BB's into water as a LOT of times when BB's or pellets hit the water they will ricochet right straight back at the shooter. I had a customer whose boy was shooting frogs around their pond and the BB came right back and through his eye and he now has a glass eye. I know it's fun shooting your air gun yourself when young but just be careful with it. I love the grapple and want to get one myself!!
