Sure is nice,let me tell you
No more that throwing on trailer and hauling to brush pile and unloading. I have even been clearing the yaupons out behind the house,just gotta grab them and pull out of ground. Great 1800 dollar investment...I been working on my pens also,trying get them done,when I have time.

Isn't that the truth. I like your grapple. I was torn between getting a bottom cross bar to cut vegetation and no crossbar to dig deep. Now I only need the cross bar about 50% of the time. I like your wide opening lid. The only thing I would add, because of my poking cedar limbs, is some kind of mesh steel on the center back to protect the tractor.

TXDon I will keep that in mind,im just curious if that would allow for some of the limb to become caught in it and not wonna come out? I havent had an issue with them yet coming close to the tractor,except when was clearing behind house a small dead limb fell on loader,it was really small didnt hurt anything but got me looking closer now. I was suprised what could pull up and if tractor would pull up with loader,if just back up with it,would pull roots and all out the ground then could lift. What would have taking me hours to clean by hand i had it piled up ready to burn in no time,with this thing.

Grapple is, by far, the best attachment I have. It's on the tractor way more than bucket.

Rest in Peace

NOT amused, and even a bit surprised, but the NWS forecast for Denton for Monday night:
Areas of frost after 1am. Otherwise, mostly clear, with a low around 32. Windy, with a north wind 20 to 25 mph decreasing to 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph.

Mine seems slow to really take off. Beans up but have stalled. Some corn up but slow, tomatoes look the same as two weeks ago. Pumpkins and squash up but haven't really gown much. Not sure what the deal is. HS
