I have wanted a 3 pt Log Grapple for some time, I finally got around to building one. The main frame is 5/16" and the arms are 1/4" with a 3"x8" ram, I also powder coated it, just because. I have only "played with it in the yard, will be taking it out to the firewood lot for a real test. "MCE is my company name"

In most of Alaska, isn't anything over 4 inches diameter considered huge timber?

Here we have some fairly large spruce and birch, nothing like SE AK but some in the 24-30 inch range
