What kind of lift do you have without the counterbalance on the back?

I am not sure.  The numbers I provided were spec from the Mfg.  I always have something on the back.  The three point can lift 1808 and the box blade weighs 436

I have an Everything Attachments Wicked 66. A grapple is by far the most versatile thing a property owner can have for their tractor. My grapple is on the front 100% of the time unless I need the bucket or forks.

Anyone that might get one be advised that a grapple can put a lot of uneven pressure on your loader arms that they aren't designed for. (I've seen videos of tweaked arms) Try your best to keep weight and work load even and centered as possible. Fight the urge to pry or push with the edges by themselves.

Great choice! I love mine, but be careful. The aftermarket for T3's is second only to R700 platforms and you can end up with a very expensive one quick! (Or two)  :chuckle:

Adjusting the factory trigger pull weight is simple but makes a noticeable difference. Recommend NOT swapping to aftermarket due to slam fire risk.

Hard to achieve 65 in-lbs on the action screws with the factory bottom plastic but 55 in-lbs is realistic, might just need some shims. I have a pack of extras if you need any.

UM Tikka Premier rings are excellent. Sportsmatch TO84 for a cheaper (but still quality) option. No reason to add a rail unless you need the 20 MOA adjustment ability.

I wished id bought one when I was clearing my place in Fall City. Poor little tractor took a beating. Now I need on of a different size class.

Nice looking tractor!
Different land, different tools - one of my life lessons is that having the right tools makes a job so much easier...

I was commenting to someone else that I need a small tractor that can thread it's way thru trees.  A big tractor would not work on my small postage stamp of wooded land on a slope.  Conversely my little tractor would be useless on a large plot of land used for farming.

Nice.  Reading I was picturing it on the back, then the pictures.  I need one of those.  I burn some but chip most of my brush, move rocks like you show (still need the chain to get them out of the bottom of post holes, and a lot of firewood up to 12' in length.  What HP is your tractor?  I've got a 35hp JD.

Chipper is next on my list...  I am jealous of your woodland mills.

My LS is a 35 HP.  I get 1688 lbs of lift at the pins (Wish I had more).  The Grapple weighs 360 so I should be able to lift around 1300ish give or take (at the pins). 
It takes a pair of front remotes to use the grapple. 
My tractor has 13.7 GPM of flow, 8.2 to Implement as I have a hydrostatic tractor.  It operates the grapple with ease.  I like the independent top clamps - The both drop at the same time, and when one meets resistance, it stops.  The second one continues to drop until it meets resistance.  This way you only need one pair of remotes.  Pretty cool

Seeing the fewest deer, elk, and moose on my property in 105 than I have in the 8 years I have owned it.  Nothing bigger than a 3pt WT.  Fawns can be counted on half a hand.  Often see a large cougar I would like an opportunity on.  Next trip I'll just concentrate on a packrat setting up an estate in the old storage cabin.

That's not good, hope those fawns make it through.
