I used mine Saturday to load some brush.

Thanks and the grapple only has a 30" opening

That is a mighty good bite for a 30"er. I take bites big enough that I have to back up so the front tires don't drive on the load and pull it out of the grapple.

I also made a video Saturday. It is not that good. I had to do it in the first person view from inside the cab. I wanted to record from outside the cab but I could not come up with a way quick to set my phone up for a good shot.

picked up my eta 60 wrg today. Couldn't use it yet as I ordered it with the wrong couplers. I thought the ones I had on hand that I use with my saws were 1/2, but I guess they are 3/8 with a 1/2 npt female (flat faced).

Years ago I standardized on ag connectors due to that being on my ag equipment. Now with all of the attaching and detaching from my FELs, I wish I had flat face couplers. I am sure you will enjoy your grapple.

I've been using my grapple for about four months and have been very pleased. A photo of my most recent haul.

I got my 60inch et grapple last week and put in a bunch of time this weekend using it and my new et lanscape rake together.

Really like it.

One strange thing is in maybe 10 hrs of use, 3 different (no pattern) hairpin cotter pins at the end of the cylinders fell out. They came in absolutely no contact with any brush, etc. But they someone popped off.

Noticed the first one was gone after only about an hour (noticed because I had a leaky cylinder). But then today after I cleaned up the tractor two more different pins were missing....

Must be happening while opening and closing, they work themselves off.

Anyone else have this problem?
