Grapple Grapple Time

Wow! After trying out my new grapple - my only regret is that I did not purchase sooner. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks good!

Now we need some actions shots.

Unfortunately I was the only operator for both tractor and camera this past weekend.

I spent most of my time on the tractor, but will try to post some action shots later on.

That's the setup I'm working toward, slowly but surely.

I tried getting by without the grapple, using only the FEL bucket and chains - what a hassle moving logs, especially on hilly terrain!

I have over a hundred downed locust trees from hurricane Ivan last year, so the real cleanup begins now.

That looks like a very capable combination of tractor and grapple. I would also like to see a few action shots of the rig working.

The grapple is actually safer than using the bucket as it helps to prevent the rolling of logs off the bucket down the boom back onto the operator.

I got an ANBO Grapple on our L-39 Kubota and am extremely pleased with it too. I am sure that you are going to like yours allot. I looked at allot of grapples prior to deciding on the ANBO and it was kind of a tossup with the WR Long model. I liked the rake on the ANBO better.

Since it was my first time using the grapple, I didn't want any witnesses /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here is a before pic of the area I was working in.
