thanks folks for the advise:
I am just checking into a grapple, I do not have one picked out yet and not sure where to start. I just know the wood i work with most often is large 30 in down to 6 inch, now I just cut up the large stuff to a lenght that fits in my bucket. But smaller logs I would love to pick up in 6 foot lenghts etc. So I guess Iam in need a basic help. My 4110 does not have loaded tries, I just use a rear blade for wait.

I would love to know all that you all know.

thanks
roger

Jason,

Can you estimate what your costs were to get the grapple up and going? It looks great.

Chop-

I had $310 in the diverter valve (Fasse-thru JD dealer)
I had about $75 in hoses/fittings (brother-in-law make hoses)
I had $420 in grapple (bought from A Tatro thru Ebay)
I had about $100 in steel to make the grapple mount.

Total- $905 and worth it!

I also made a FEL snowplow, so the diverter works the angle on that.

I use the grapple a lot, I am clearing some land. I dig out trees with the hoe then turn around, pick them up and either cut them up or haul to burn pile. Wouldn't do without ii.

you post makes me want to get out and hit the woods.

Do you have any pics of your set up. I have no skills in making this myself, did you have plans or just work it up in your head.

What amount of wieght do you think you can lift with your grapple.

thanks

Roger-

The only pictures I currently have are the ones I posted in the thread I linked to earlier in this thread.

I don't often stop to take pictures in action as then I have to get off the tractor! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Basically some box tubing and plate material is all you need to mount the grapple as I did.

As to what it will lift? Probably more than I should. I forget what the grapple and mount weigh- maybe 125 lbs?- so that much less than without it I guess.

I picked up a cherry tree stump (14" dia) with the entire ball of roots (including dirt) and moved it yesterday!

Awesome attachment! I've never removed it since I installed it, but it just requires removing 3 pins and unhooking 2 hoses.

If you're playing in a wooded area you won't believe how helpful a grapple is.

BTW- I had no plans, just pictures/ideas gleaned from others at TBN!
