What matters most

The best upgrade supports a recurring task while respecting the tractor’s limited lift capacity and operating envelope. Attachment weight and hydraulic demand deserve special attention on compact machines.

Key considerations

  • Appropriate ballast
  • Third-function hydraulics or a mechanical grapple
  • Loader attachments
  • Operator protection and lighting
  • Tire, chain, or traction choices

Put it to work

Add upgrades in the order they improve safety and productivity. Confirm that combined attachment, payload, and ballast choices remain within manufacturer requirements.

The ANBO approach

ANBO offers compact grapple options, including the CLASP‑IT™ mechanical grapple for compatible tractors that do not have a third function.
