A few picture posts to make up for off topic posts. I can only post one photo per post from my cell phone so they'll be in separate penance posts.

Another big Maple stump. Note odd shape held securely by single lid light duty grapple even though most of stump is well forward of grapple jaws. Light duty single lid grapples RULE!!!

Another few (back at my desktop now). I'm sure you'll all be jealous of my official Millonzi T shirt.:laughing:

Don't need to get off or ever touch them Island. You pick one, drive over to the other and set it down, then re-aim and grab both. But you know, 95% of the time it's not an issue right? ;)

Now that is something I cannot do with my single lid. I presume however that you got off the tractor to line up those logs so you could pick them up at the same time.

I normally wouldn't call myself lazy, but when I'm operating my tractor I am extremely "lazy". In fact, one of the reason I've spent so much time adding my rear hydraulics, was so I could use implements with as many hydraulic functions as possible, simply to be more efficient and reach my 'goal' of never getting off my tractor seat when I'm working, except to take pictures! I don't like to get off the tractor to angle my rear blade, lower the scarifiers on my box blade, adjust my side link, top link, or even line up my implements when hooking them up (hence the quick hitch.) So I'll be damned if I'm going to get off the tractor to load something that I could otherwise use hydraulics for!

So, please understand when I say I am slightly offended by your presumption that I would actually remove my lazy butt from the tractor seat, muscle around some heavy items, line them up with the perfect spacing, just to pick up two items at one time! :D
(Kidding, I'm not actually offended :D)

All you have to do, is open the grapple, clamp down on the first item to be picked up (whether that be rocks, logs, hay, whatever) then drive to the second item, curl the grapple down to the dump position, open the grapple right over the second item (the first will fall on to the ground) then lower the grapple over both items at once, and clamp down on both. :thumbsup:

When you are carrying items a decent distance, this literally cuts the time in half.

Matt, you're a man after my own heart. :D I'll spend a lot of energy up front on something if it means I can be lazy there after.

My stump pile is at the very corner of my property, across the street from whiny neighbors who complained to the township that I didn't mow my grass. So I killed all of it and now pile my un-burnable debris across from their driveway. It's nearly a quarter mile from where my house is going, and if I didn't have my little trailer to haul them on, I'd be rolling two deep in the lids too.
