Quick coupler use with a grapple

Jasexc ยท 2013-03-31 21:37

Hi all im new here and im looking to a few answers to some problems i encountered today. To start with i have a 2007 kobelco sk210 acera 8 with a cp manual quick coupler. I just bought an allied demo style 2 over 3 grapple. The problem i have is the part of the grapple on the stiff arm will not open up enough due to it hitting the quick coupler. Thought if i bought a pin grabber or a different brand of coupler it might clear. Does anyone have any good solutions to this problem or at least experience with this? I have pics but not sure how to post

    You may have to use the grapple without the coupler as most attachments of this type (thumbs, grapples, etc) must be designed to either work with a coupler, or without.

    Here's a thread on posting pictures: Hopefully this will help and you can get some visual aids up. Make them as big as you can tho, there's a lot of OLD people on here who have a hard time seeing. :roll
