First use report: Grapple from Innovative Tractor Attachments
21 - 27 of 27 Posts
Operating instructions pdf attachment post #9 shows compatible 318 quick hitches, pdf version 2 of the installation post #17 shows how to install on the compatible 318 hitch.
I've read through all of them and have the BM18121 hitch. Looks like this one
So the anti angle hole is on the right side. Also it seems that the older hitch may be longer as well. As there looks to be more distance from the up/down cylinder to the pivot than the ones in the directions.

I received my grapple from Mark last weekend and my new hitch and cylinder the middle of this week. Got a chance to round up some large rotting pine logs and hide them further out back. Lots of fun. Mark does a nice job and I'm very pleased. My only mod was to use a couple nylon spacers and a shorter clevis pin on the rod end of the grappling cylinder instead of the long pin that came with it. Highly recommended.:thThumbsU

Good deal on x738?
John Deere ForumI have been reading on here for the past couple of days and several other places researching X500/X700. I currently have been using a Hydro 185 handed down to me for the last 5 years. My dad had kept it around ever since he got an X485 back in 2004. Back then growing up I had probably used...- 47

Saying goodbye to John Deere
John Deere ForumThis not a hate post. I'm not much of a poster but I lurk quite a bit. My 1985 John Deere 316 served me very well over the last 3 years I've owned it. But The engine is tired, steering sloppy and the hydro leaks. I did not want to invest so much time and money into an older not very valuable or...- 36
