If it's John Deere hooking pen you should send that shim kit along with your equipment .

Best Buy I’ve ever made. Cheapest out there currently....get one before they blow up even bigger

Great tool. Have used one for 2 years. Real happy

Gentlemen, have you tried using the bottom part as a root rake? Just curious of the capabilities before purchasing one. I have a 3025d.

@@go4usc21 dont do it it will not hold up. You will bend it for sure. Use your forks instead much stronger but not recommended also. The brush crusher is great for brush clean up and moving logs. But not made to engage large roots Great tool I love mine

We need to see it in action bro!!!

Stoked to see how it goes. I wondered about a brush crusher just wondered how they do compared to the grapples.

A brush crusher is a grapple.

my neighbor with a skid steer and grapple, he tried talking me out of getting the brush crusher, he is amazed when I can pick up anything he can pick up other then he can lift more weight. I adjusted the bottom to open more, I can almost drop straight down now. if it jam's I leave it closed holding the branches and push against the pile I'm dumping in and open it, never jams then

I am torn between the Brush Crusher and a true hydraulic grapple. I have a Deere 3025e and won’t be using it daily but do like the idea of not having to add a divertor

Lots of peoples tractors are being damaged by this it's pulling the snap ring pins thru the hole and jd is charging up to 1500 to fix it

I have seen a video here on youtube where the lower quich hitch jd pins get pulled through the loader bucket mount brackets. Let us know if you have this problem.

I sure wanted one of those also but they are not yet made for anything other then a John Deere quick attach.

I never found a second follow up video…….did you get rid of the brush crusher?

Nice video! I just purchased a new 3033R and I want to buy a BC-4215 in the future. Looking forward to seeing what you think of it.

you aren’t worried about the bottom jaw banging off your loader arms?

I understand budgetary concerns but these things are compromises and I would never run one ever. I would rather just save a little longer and get a true 3rd function. I have seen videos of these things destroying loader assemblies. Your mileage may vary.

Over $3000? You can get a real grapple for just over 1000 bucks. But then yeah you got to install the third function.

Any issues with the pins getting bent?

Not for me. A real grapple is much more effective and not that much more money for many years of use. One design problem is when you open the top jaw the bottom swings up as well so you don't get a full vertical dump. It can also jam stuff in there and pull the lower jaw up making it difficult to dump.

Not a good design. The maximum opening width is so small you can’t get anything in it. Kinda wimpy construction too... looks like 1/4" plate, not 1/2" that is needed. Also there are no zerk fittings on the pivot points.
