Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

[arrow]

Same tooth bar... but bought it used for $100 - had to cut it down a half inch or so to fit my bucket... was a fun welding project.

Yeah same thing happened to me only mine was too short so l cut it again.

This tree was to close to the garden and had to go

The deep winter frost here pushes up rocks into the road surface. Every spring there is a new crop. Any that will stop my grader blade or snow plow I pull out. This one only had a knub showing but felt solid. You never know what lies unseen underneath.

I took a video just for fun - 5 minutes.

@Gordon Gould, those are big rocks. Now you have a hole. I think you need a jack hammer attachment for your tractor, and just make gravel

Nice job!!! Find a few more of those and you could build a stone patio.

Interesting rock. Around here a rock of that size would be more rounded. That one looks like it was fractured off of a big brother down under.

We have all sizes and shapes of rock here. Nothing is what I would call typical. The top layer of earth is glacial till down to about 20 feet and most surface rocks come from that. Below the till is a couple hundred feet of shale bed rock. It has vertical grain from being folded up when a piece that broke off of Africa collided with America eons ago. The Connecticut River is in that fault line and is about 5 miles from here. Where the shale comes to the surface it is either ledge or like this.

The big glacial rocks can be rounded or angular. I have no shortage of them.

Gordon, very cool. Interesting lesson in regional geology!

Looks like you have the right tool for this!

Thanks for the comments. I find that stuff interesting too.

Thanks - that FrostBite grapple works well for me and what I do. Light, narrow, strong, and capable.
