Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

I'm sure that man wouldn't be you. On a lighter note my hough 60 will out perform your tinker toy tractors 10 to1

While a Hough 60 is probably a great machine, this is a compact tractor forum.

While a Hough 60 is probably a great machine, this is a compact tutor forum.

If we’ve got tinker toy tractors than he has a tinker toy loader. The only logical comparison is to compare within their own series. When you do that both machines are at the lower end of the size spectrum. As far as I’m concerned compact tractors are far more useful then ancient loaders.

Picture? We’ve all posted pictures of what we can do but, so far, you’re just talking thru your hat.

I don't know why everybody's got to have these fancy grapple buckets they can't do any more than a pair of pallet Forks on it the front of a tractor with a grapple I think that is a better method anyways. So why do you need to have so many more tools than what you actually need. Pallet Forks on a tractor can pick up many more things than just pallets they they do a great job with the Sawmills and loading logs

They look a lot scarier than my pallet forks.

That’s because he doesn’t have one of these wonderful pallet forks grapples I don’t he has anything except a worn out bucket.

This is a forum for tractors and this is a tractor. And a front end loader

Can your loader Bush hog a field. Nope. Can it till a garden. Nope. Can it drag logs out of the woods without massive destruction. Nope. Can it set a pallet of a truck and set it in a garage. Doubtful. Can you quickly change between a pallet fork grapple and a bucket. Not without a pile of money. Can you load it behind your pickup and take it to your brothers for a quick job. Nope. Can you find parts easily. Doubtful. Do you need your tool box and a 5 gallon bucket of oil to do anything. Yes. Who really got the short end of the stick here?

Y'all realize he's 13 or 14 years old and talking about his dad's stuff right?

I can't talk for Andy, but when "I" was 14, my dad owned a drag line crane, a dozer and a dump truck, along with farm tractors... I bet you I already had more equipment running experience than MOST of the guys on this site do today, so I don't think "age" has anything to do with it.

BTW, I got my first off farm job working for another farmer when I was 11. Yes eleven, that would be "child abuse" today!

Glad your loader works for you but unless you’ve got dump trucks to load it’s usefulness is pretty limited. A high percentage of people here only do property maintenance which covers a wide range of projects. What tool is more suitable for the task?

 

[4570Man]

How much loose dirt do you have to move? A high percentage of people here don’t need to move very much dirt. My tractor and little dump truck do just fine for my limited dirt moving. If you’re loading loose dirt a loader is the best tool for the job. It’s usefulness outside of that is virtually none. I’ve got a bigger dump truck I’m probably going to sell. The little one is far more useful.

This is a photo thread, for grapple pictures. Up until these recent posts, we've made it years now with very very little dickering back and forth. That light dickering has at least been complimented with photos for "proof".

This is a photo thread, for grapple pictures. Can we please get back on track? There are plenty of threads arguing anything you could possibly want, and if not, your free to create a new one.

Thank you.

Here's my "Before" picture... sometimes it isn't what you own, but what you have access to.

Age has something to do with how you act and how you treat others which is why I'm betting the troll has just hit puberty.

No ill will meant toward you Rob. :thumbsup:

Well stated Piston.

“Andy” is all hat and no cattle. He’s yet to post a picture of anything yet, continues to harass those of us who, not only post pictures but, do real work.

He’ll soon show up on the rotary cutter threads claiming his 12 HP Sears rider will out perform any 15’ Batwing cutter.

He’s a troll to be ignored! Let’s carry on!

Feeding the trolls is fun. Until his cattle show up I’ve got a Cat 988 loader and a Cat 777G to load with it.

It wasn't considered child abuse in MY case, because it was my uncle's farm [and roofing/siding business], and they treated me like another son- except for corporal punishment- my 'rents were the masters of that.]

Although to be fair, more than a few of the farm kids I know still have pretty stiff sets of chores that they're responsible for.
