Best attachment for clearing roads/trails after loggers mess

[SPYDERLK]

If it is too big for tractor then why can my L3130 do this?

What does that have to do with the width of the grapple?

Have a wide grapple with close spaced tines and it does just fine even rakes, scrapes and levels and picks up large rocks and boulders.

The L4330 is a larger tractor with the LA853 loader that is bigger in every way.

Sorry. Too big for your tractor. Youll encounter many limitations pushing it.

This is going on a LA853 loader that has a 72" HD bucket so this will clear the same width as as the bucket would and the grapple is much lighter. I'm not digging up a house.....

Larry, if all he is doing is going forward and picking up loose stuff, what are his limitations going to be :confused3: other than the grapple gets full very fast. It's not like he is digging in the ground with it, anyway that is not my understanding of the situation.

Maybe it's a set of conditions that just has to be seen in person. I don't see any problems, or very few. Wouldn't know for sure without being there.

Yea, you go it Brian. These are hard pack dirt roads with pine scraps left over laying in the road. Just the landscape rake would do the job but having the grapple will help with picking it all up.

WOW! That's impressive David. I think the LA853 then should have no problem picking up some pine scraps...... Not sure what Spyder is talking about.

What does the width of the grapple have to do with whether or not it can pick up a pile of loose pine scraps laying in the road? Not sure we are following you with no explanation.

LSU, please check your PM, I need to confirm your loader joystick shaft dia.

It has to do with variable and unexpected circumstances you will run into unless your present situation is homogeneous, and future use is largely identical. It has to do with force ability when needed. It has to do with awkwardness of size limiting your options. Etc.

here is a video of approximately the same size grapple on approximately the same size tractor, doing approximately the same thing.
