Impressive that you could grapple that entire pile of branches in one scoopt! Nice tool!

Yep, very handy. Here is a post from 2016 of it picking up 30 cedar trees: Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

I want one of these now but it is $40k more than my tractor plus attachments budget.

I'd have to paint mine flat black to match the Mad Max look they have.

You don't have to start with a new one. Ten years ago I got my first compact telehandler. It was used, cost $26,000 with forks and bucket. Sold my tractor shortly after I got it.

Note the small size compared to the MF 240D:

But the FEL is amazing:

What MossRoad posted x2

A big part of why I'm thinking my next acquisition (after a larger truck to pull equipment around with) will be a compact telehandler seeing as they tend to have the lift capacity (to similar heights) of a large utility/small ag tractor at a much lower price ...and can lift lighter loads to even higher heights :cool2: :dance1:

Hey Xfaxman,

Do you think the versahandler could pull a 10' offset harrow?

Yes, your V519 would:
