Just got my gapple in use today. It is a medium duty 60" (about 600 lbs) dual cylinder root grapple. I had to get a skid steer QA to mount it to my loader. After about 3 weeks of waiting I got the QA this week and I have been ready for the weekend to do some work.
I have read all the threads about light weight vs. heavy grapples. I was a little worried that this one would be to heavy, However, based on the work today I am very pleased with the results. My lift capacity easily exceeds the volume capicity (how much brush I can fit in the grapple). I even transproted a large log without any problem. I can definitly feel the weight though. 600+ lbs way out front makes itself known.
but...all in all I give it my :thumbsup:
