Yep, here is a picture of my first Versahandler, before I drove it out of the box and started grappling cedar trees with it: ;) :D

Here it is in action back in 2010:

My tractor is a tool to suit my needs; not to impress you or anybody else. I don't really care if your *.* is bigger than mine.

Try not to feed the trolls. I know I can't help myself sometimes either. He'll burn out and disappear soon enough. :drink:

For big piles of stumps and soil to sort I'd think hard about a wide, curved-bottom, two-lid grapple, with fairly wide tooth space. And you probably don't need a heavy, HD one either thus saving lift capacity you'll need. :2cents:

Edit: wide for efficiency. Two lids for big irregular stumps. Wide spacing to sift out soil.

Bring your tractor over and we’ll run head to head. IMG_9951.JPG After we get done with that we’ll try raking debris. I get a grapple ( the tooth bucket actually works better) and you get a pallet fork grapple. IMG_9953.JPG

Thanks on both points. In all of my years online (since 2001) I had never even considered blocking anybody until today.
More importantly I hadn't thought about what to get for a grapple beyond the point of needing one, so you have gotten me thinking in that direction.

Sawyer Andy lists a Farmall M which is a really cool tractor but not a beast. I am not sure why the post

So do you have a grapple or grapple forks for it? Why don’t you leave? You’ve made no meaningful contributions and have been trouble for the start. And you’ve only got a tinker toy loader. Try comparing it to a 988 cat or bigger.
