We are very pleased with the K&A grapple. It is a pleasure to operate a piece of equipment that is heavy duty enough to get the job done, while engineered and built to not be clumsy. We use the K&A grapple for everything from demolition and clean up work, to forestry and logging, to even cleaning out our bedding pack livestock barns. The tines are heavy duty but low profile enough to slip under objects like a set of pallet forks would without scooting things around to try and scoop underneath them. The grapple clamps are no-nonsense stout, and the design all the way around from our previous grapple is no comparison!
Our previous aftermarket grapple was purchased from our dealer as being better than their own. We purchased this grapple under the disguise of looking "Heavy Duty" by using thick steel in obviously seen places, but time proved that it was built too light "under the hood". It was such a hassle that no one ever wanted to use it if it was even working. The grapples would over center backwards, it would bend the bolts that held on the cylinders, the cylinder covers were held on with little bolts that always loosened and made too much noise and racket. The hydraulic hoses from the skid steer all the way to the grapple cylinders were a problem from day one, always getting pinched, rubbed on the guards or working themselves loose. Every time this grapple was used it was a frustration. Now with our new K&A grapple it is a pleasure, I don't have the headache of constantly trying to babysit the operators or the grapple. You get the feeling of "Cadillac", and the quality & design is second to none. Thank you and God Bless!
A very pleased customer,

Daniel, We are a recycling company that uses your Grapple Buckets daily. We have them on both our IT Machines and Skidloaders. We have previously tried multiple competitor grapple buckets including CAT, but K&A Fabrication has outperformed the competition in all areas. We had a slight issue with the hydraulic line location on one bucket and you never hesitated to ship the bucket back to get it fixed on your dime to make it work for our machines. We appreciate your business and we would recommended your quality attachments to anyone. Your easy to work with and stand behind your products.

Daniel, I just wanted you to know how pleased I am with the K&A Grapple. You mentioned when I picked it up that you closed up the tine spacing. I would not have noticed it if you had not told me, but it is working and doing everything that I need just like you have it fixed. I want you to know how much I appreciate what you have done for me.

This is one of the finest fabricating companies I have ever dealt with. They make the finest buckets and attachments you will ever buy. It's an excellent product at a more than fair price. Great quality and Daniel Adkison the owner, is one of the best people you could ever ask to work with!

Being a Cat Dealer gives us the opportunity to tap into a wide line of work tool attachments from Cat Manufacture. But from time to time we need special products and quick turn around. For those special needs we have found a great business partner in K & A Fabrication. Owner Daniel Adkison and his staff have proven they can provide those special products with quality work. They are easy to work with and always eager to serve. We at Thompson Tractor - The Cat Rental Store are happy to have K & A as a business partner.

I have recently ordered several attachments for my new Cat 279c compact track loader. After looking at all of the different kinds of attachments that K and A had to offer, it was difficult to decide which attachments I wanted. I had ordered 3 different attachments and then I special ordered one made to my specs. When the attachments were finished and delivered. They were exactly what I wanted. Built heavy to last. This is what I was looking for. When it comes to heavy construction attachments, I have found that a light attachment is for a light job and a light job only. A heavy attachment will do a light job and a heavy job. I would recommend K and A Fabrication to anyone that is looking for the right attachment at the right price. Thanks again for a quality attachment.

As a manufacturer of Skid Steer and Mini-excavator attachments, I am always on the lookout for more effective, cost and labor cutting measures without compromising our high quality. After one of my Caterpillar dealers introduced me to Daniel at K & A Fabrication, we established a business relationship. I needed someone that could cut, burn, machine and fabricate the many, many different styles of quick-attach and pin-on excavator bucket patterns for me. I am constantly striving to improve the quality of my attachments, therefore I would have to have a burn table and an array of machining tools or a fabrication company that was big enough to provide quality work yet small enough to maintain a personal, one-on-one relationship with. I have been very pleased with the quality work and prompt service that K &A gives me. I would highly recommend them for all your Burning and Fabrication needs.

First, I wanted to say Thank You for your quick response this past Friday. Your willingness to stop what you were doing and come help us was not only key in us getting done what we needed to, but also critical since we only had a couple of days while we were in town. I really appreciate it, and it is noted.
Second, the grapple worked great! I had some pretty high expectations, but I have to say so far it has exceeded those. It didn't cut our time in half, but probably by 3 or 4 times in some of the areas that we were working.

K & A has always been the first place we go to for front loader attachments.
They work with us on custom fabrications and also carry a full range of attachments for our loaders. Everything is always top quality, while still remaining at very competitive prices. If you can think of it, K & A will have it or will fabricate it to your standards.

We have been more than pleased with the 84" Heavy Duty Root Grapple we purchased from K&A Fabrications for our T300 Bobcat. The craftsmanship of the grapple is second to none. Before purchasing, we researched grapples from other manufacturers and found that K&A's root grapple was the best all around buy for the money. I would recommend this grapple to anyone looking for a similar attachment for their machine. We have used it countless hours and have had no problems with the grapple thus far.
