Brandi they look like can buy new ones and re-weld on if one was to brake off.

My new toy came in on Thursday. Got the hoses hooked up tonight and scratched the paint. I'm totally in love with it.

Is that 31" the Faver you posted about a few months back? I really like that grapple. It looks like one heck of a digger.

Yes it is. I went narrow for a couple of reasons. I do need to do some brush clean up, but I figured I could get that done with a narrow as well as a wide model. What I really wanted it for was to build some rock retaining walls. Can't do that with a wide grapple. Got some big stumps to move so I'll try to get some more action pics.

Yes, it digs really well. Had a 24" rock that just the top was exposed. Forks pushed right in and popped the rock right out. After a couple of hours moving rocks, the only time the dirt didn't fall through was when I had a knot of turf to hold it together.

Excellent. Pictures of digging would be very appreciated. That is the little talked about feature of grapples where narrow by far exceeds wide.

As requested, I got some additional videos shot. I already cleaned up the biggest of the rocks, but I did find one tiny one to dig up. So far, I think the narrow grapple has done everything equally as well as a wide one would have.

Better than a wide one would do in those videos. Thanks for posting.
