How well does it work with that single claw upper jaw? I'd imagine it would do just fine with logs/trees but might not work so well with piles of brush. Looks great for digging out weed trees too.

Did somebody say "grapple" ?

What tractor is that grapple on, Willl?

(Boxblade?) rippers into a smaller grapple, good using your head Willl.

Brush?

Actually, works great with 'piles' of brush, it's the 'individual' small pieces it has problems with.
My original plans were a 3 finger but went with 1 to save weight and simplicity.

Can't take credit for this one, stole the idea from here at TBN.
Don't know who the author is, but it was this picture that started it.

What tractor

My 790.

According the pictures posted in this thread, the Deere 200cx and 300cx loaders use the same top pin. That is good to know. JC
