I finally joined youtube and was able to post video so I thought I would post some details of my grapple now. The pics and video are a year old...
This grapple works very well for brush. I installed it on my pallet forks, very light weight (probably seventy pounds total), and it is operated from one of the rear remotes. I have also used it for moving rocks but the pallet forks are best suited for brush and logs.
For anyone debating whether or not to get a grapple, maybe the video will show how useful one can be. There is almost nothing more satisfying than picking up a load of brush and crushing it:thumbsup:
Note; the first pic shows the forks on my original Montana QA; I have since changed it to SS style...
Sorry, I know pictures with snow are depressing but it was all I had
This the forks; they are the 'floating' kind - only attached by the round bar at the top. I intend to make another set that slide on tracks top and bottom.
Here is the grapple; it attaches by the same bar that the forks are hung on with an additional pin for the cylinder.
