Wicked Grapple useful feature #296 - Better visibility than a bucket when performing tight maneuvers with big loads...
Also discovered new use #297 - Can pluck out offending fences and fence posts that get in your way when moving the neighbor's shed down the road from one yard to another. :thumbsup:

Great photos Eric, I really do like that color matched EA Grapple! (There's just something about the lightering holes in those grapples that make them look "mean" :thumbsup:

I pushed my tractor hard today. LOTS of mowing, and taking side trips to get rid of stumps and logs that I'd been wanting to deal with for quite some time (but until I got the NX and the grapple, really couldn't- stumps were dug out with an excavator and I only had time to dig, none to relocate).

This one was really heavy. When I got to where I was going to dump it I almost had the tractor topple! (ground was really soft and I started to sink in a bit- managed to release the hydraulics and let the stump go just in time)

This one was lighter (dried out), but it's still a bit heavy; and, it looks cool!

I don't think that I would have been able to move this log, let alone lift it, with my B7800!

Diesel, on that first one you are loaded quite off center. That would easily flip my BX... but it couldn't lift it unless dry anyways!

Yeah, any wonder it got tippy on me? :D If I can hook them I run with them. OK, it's only a short travel distance. One of the issues is that you cannot get the jaws around the stump butt; either it's too tall to fit or there's roots that keep from getting into the meat.

The NX, with this grapple should be able to lift about 2,300 lbs (rated to 2,700 lbs; grapple weighs around 400? lbs).

Not that you would have any sympathy but one of the reasons I started the 'Grapple without a Grapple' thread was how to grab things without a thumb.
