Grapple

   / Grapple #12  
Awesome build. You have no idea how much you are gonna use this attachment.

It makes a very lazy man outta ya though. So be prepared for that. I'll work a minute or two trying to pick up a small branch with the Grapple rather than get off and pick it up by hand!!! ;)

If a person is gonna take the time to build a Grapple, you definitely want to build with two "jaws". As James said, it increases productivity dramatically. Even with Brush, it will pick up a bigger load. And most importantly, it will not drop brush all the way to the pile.

I've built a LOT of attachments and add-ons. None have a payback like a Grapple.

Again, great build!!!! You do quality work and should get many, many years use from this gear.

Very nice! Did you get the writing/cutting done or did you do it yourself?

Thanks, I have a Water Jet Machine. Makes things considerably easier on projects like this.

Right at $1000.00 in materials. Metal, Hydraulics, hoses, fittings etc. Guessing around 30 hrs, does not include any design time. Nothing my tractor can do to tear it up. I Tried!! Its by far the best attachment Ive got. Thanks!
