Has anyone come up with there own design, or a quick attach, brush fork for the front end? I want to be able to pick up and move big piles of brush. A hydro set of upper arms to grab on to the pile would be great so i won't lose much while driving...
Heres a link to a picture of what i have in mind.. Thanks!!

There are many ways to do this. I have a comercially-built "industrial grapple bucket" which is essentially a very heavy-duty bucket with two individual grapples. I've picked up cars from the side with it with my bobcat loader.
A quick and easy way is buy/make two, three or four bucket-mounted pallet forks, add tubular steel extensions on them and you won't need grapples. I built a sort of a grate for my backhoe loader that has 1" square bars spaced about 4 inches apart and about four feet long. The bars are all connected with a piece of 4" thick-wall angle cut down on one edge to fit snugly over the cutting edge. To secure it I use 3/4" bolts throught the bottom of the bucket and into the grate rear. I've picked up 5 yds of yard waste in one scoop. It's great for picking up or even raking debris. Works great picking up firewood. Had about $200 in it. ....
