These do NOT work on Ford Explorer (2006)
Despite what the vehicle selector says these do NOT work on a 2006 Ford Explorer! Garage could not 'activate' them to talk to my Explorer's computer so I basically just bought fancy valve stems.

Does the job I needed it to do but you should consider a dedicated grapple first.
I am disabled and did not want to buy a skid-steer with grapple to clear my land plus wanted to leave my loader bucket in place to scoop up and haul small loads.
The upside to this grapple was being able to use my TC-30 and not having to install a quick attach enabling me to stay in the seat instead of changing attachments. (Again - I'm disabled and have a hard time getting on & off tractor so spry-guys should consider a quick attach instead).
This grapple combined with a Long third function kit works 'ok' and should last me as long as the tractor does.
The downside to this grapple is that, being a 'universal' bolt on your loader bucket does not have the same matching shape for grasping making picking up small logs etc a challenge at times. The grapple 'mouth' doesn't have a matching/reflecting shape on the edge of the loader bucket which blocks items from being grappled. I am going to try adding some clamp on forks to the bottom of the loader bucket to aid in grasping logs etc.
Another downside that I hadn't considered is weight! This thing weighs down the front of my tractor considerably and alters the balance of the tractor as well, making it 'tippy' feeling. I imagine it also reduces the capacity of lift but so far I'm able to pick up anything I want with it including full buckets of gravel with the grapple in place.
Recommendations:
ADD REAR BALLAST. I had some weights for a skid-steer so had a bracket made for my box blade to carry them. Putting the grapple on will alter your front to rear balance if you have a small tractor like mine.
Also, I am going to swap the front wheels to widen the front stance if it doesn't look like it will stress the steering knuckle. (Small offset on my wheels compared to other tractors.)
Overall it's a compromise attachment. It does grapple and does allow your bucket to remain in place.
If you're willing to do a few things to make it work it can bridge the gap between a dedicated grapple and a bare bucket but don't expect it to be the best option in a business situation. For me - it will be great for helping pile up cut brush while still being able to maintain my driveway without buying a new machine.
It also scares the neighborhood kids.
