That dump truck looks mighty useful...:drool:
I'm impressed with the whole set up. Those look like some serious logs your machine picked up.

Don't you hate it when you're brushogging and find a nuisance stump? No problem when you have your grapple!
Step 1 - Quick grub and gentle push
Then just pop it up and away you go to the burn pile! (Darn things are like icebergs - always more than meets the eye!)

Thanks dragoneggs! Enjoying the heck out of it so far. Really capable machine and that cutter and grapple took some abuse today. (Tractor too - that type if tract is like Lewis and Clark type work.) I've only had the OEM bucket on one time to move some yard mulch back at the house. I'm sure the grapple will get a rest someday...

Thank you !!!
Bucket grapples are treated like second class citizens here but they really do have plenty of capability especially if care is taken in the way they are mounted and they are combined with a tooth bar. They excel in utility and are a blessing for us guys with older tractors that lack quick attach plates and have pin-on buckets.

No! Bucket grapples are not second class citizens in Grapple Nation.... They are simply less common. Most 30+hp tractors these days have SSQA and it therefore makes sense to simply get a regular grapple as a second FEL implement, but for someone with a pin on standard bucket, adding a grapple thumb to that bucket makes all the sense in the world.
