Great pics. I love action shots.

That grapple is impressive. I didn't expect to see it holding so much. Good job!

Jim,
As others have said, your work is awesome! Wish I had the knowlefge and ability to tackle some projects like these.

About the photos, do you have fluorescent lights in your garage? If so (as I suspect), that and the daylight film are the combined culprits. Other than the the yellow being washed out, the photos are excellent - especially the outdoor shots.

The cold rolled version will give a great strength advantage over the hot rolled.

"cold-rolled stronger" Thanks, I thought that was true, but forgot where I heard it. So far so good. Unless I do something stupid and put one tine under something still in the ground, its going to work.

A little late chiming in Jim but let me add my Kudos for such a terrific piece of work. You are my fabrication hero. Based on my years of experience with tractors I would estimate that the items portrayed in this thread would sell for about $12,000.00!!!

WOW! I was guessing at a retail value of around 2500, but I like your math better. If that's an offer, I accept. Thanks for the feedback...
