New Grapple exceeds expectations

[bironacad]

Well said. I built my Grapple with two cylinders, two claws per cylinder. And as you stated, I can easily carry two stumps or grip an odd shaped load of brush, rock, junk iron, whatever I want to pick up. I can also easily pick up small single items such as a basketball sized rock.

pictures?

On the side... what happened to JCWhitney? I've tried every link I have and several from the web, no luck. Did US Auto Parts do away with them?

by far the heaviest thing I have moved.


This is a 72 inch rakemaster, it is brutally tough.
Depending on your soil type you can scarify a foot deep and its weight is a benefit you just have to learn how to use it to your advantage.
Dealing with Mr Lynn personally was a pleasure and He stands behind his product.
If you have around 50 horsepower, a lift capacity of around 3000lbs this is the way to go.
L shaped grapples put too much load way out in front of your loader pins which demishes your lift capacity. Also the L shape design lends itself more to light duty brush/trash cleaning than actually doing ground penetration rough land clean up.

Funny I actually prefer the L shaped grapple for digging out trees and root systems, It allows the tines to get under the roots and break them. It also works good for lifting concrete pads. It will break them up when you get underneath them. I am good friends with the local rental company and they let me use their rake style grapple and it works better at brush gathering and picking stuff up but I prefer the L for digging. CJ

Not sure about the size, but it looks like one of the Titan grapples.
