Keep in mind that there's the fulcrum effect to consider. You won't be able to lift the difference between spec numbers and the grapple weight as your load will always be out farther than the distances that lift capacity specs go by. It may be obvious, but I felt it needed to be pointed out.
Hey Travis, care to dig out my stump picture? Yeah, I'm a single lid, but the point would be that there's no way I'd have picked up; that stump like that with an 1,000 lb grapple!
And... the type of material matters as much/more so than weight. If strength were based solely on weight then a lead grapple would excel!
