Forks Is anybody familiar with this grapple?

This looks uber useful.

Sawyer rob uses something very similar to that. I'm actually planning to build one, eventually.

I would rather have more curve to it. Even in their photos with the logs the outer log is not clamped. I like a grapple that pulls thing into the back of the bucket, forks, etc. whereas this almost looks like except for the teeth it would push a lot out because it is not mounted high enough or curved enough.

Agreed, definitely needs a curved upper lid.

How quick does it come off and go on. I ask because it doesn't look like you could move full pallets or Ropaks with it on unless they were not all the way back on the forks.

The thumb can be stowed straight up at the 12 o’clock position and pinned in place.

I was thinking about the Cotech brand. It looks like it works very well on brush and logs but it does not look like it opens straight up and out of the way.

I like that one. How much $$? How quick to remove?

I paid 1100 CDN for it. To remove it you need to loosen a big bolt under it to open up the bracket holding it. The only issue is its pretty heavy to man handle it with one guy. I want to build on a wood stand to be able to use the loader to pick it up and drop it down.
