Just noticed your rear tires! Yeah, that's a pretty big bite there Terry:laughing:.
Sure looks a lot greener there than it does here!

You just need more ballast than you're getting from that little blade. Put a big box scraper back there and I'll bet you could haul that monster around!

Terryknight You need more ballast one way or the other.

How do you like that grapple / And what did it set you back?

A little bit of grappling fun! Tree is an Ash that succumbed to the borer.

i don't think i could move that log without a larger tractor (or a not so green log) that log is green elm, over 36" diameter on the butt and over 16ft long.

Thanks for the info. Looks like a good match to the tractor. (Once you get some ballast on!)
Local dealer here has some two lid grapples for sale for $2000. There painted green but I don't know who made them. Looks like a tool I would learn to love in a hurry.

I like your grapple! What make/model is it? I have a B3300SU as well. I'm assuming you have extra hydraulics installed.

Thanks!!!

It's EA's single lid Wicked Grapple. Got the WR Long 3rd function valve to run it from them as well. What a time saver!!!
