I do want to ask.... Did I offend you?.

Not in the least. I just kept my reply short so as to keep with my stated intention of minimizing any religious discussion. Honestly, no offence taken.

Island,

Keving, sorry to hijack the thread. Enjoy that awesome grapple!!!!!

The chosen rake is ideal for the usage in mind . I have the Quick Attach Talon which has too much tyne leverage over the crowd rams to be really good at stick raking although it is great for everything else . As discussed in the other grapple thread we had going , the Quick Claw has shorter vertical tynes and rakes well , whilst not overpowering the crowd rams and opening the relief valve in the control bank .

Gotta ask, Iron Horse. How big is that dirt bike? Because if it's adult sized, that grapple is HUGE! Can we see a picture with a person in it for reference?

Thanks,
Todd

G'day Todd , yes it's a monster . I can drop it over a wooden pallet and pick it up . These are the only other pics i have and my camera is not here . It is a full size bike , the shot from the front with the 100hp tractor as the backdrop will give you an idea on size . I can thoroughly recomend the product , this one is a "little" heavy for a CUT as it has 3/4" T1 tynes (tines) and weighs 600kg's . It can smash a sandstone boulder with the grab . Talk to Lane at Quick Attach for smaller sizes .

And, representing the Bantamweight class. ....the mini-me 48" light duty Millonzi grapple with 3/8 inch mild steel tines weighing in at 130 kg (285lbs). Here pictured working on a 21hp tractor.

Maybe we should be matchmakers and introduce them to see what happens. Let's meet half way, say in Hawaii. What happens when you mix blue and orange tractor genes?

In that case I will be looking for some birth control.

We'll, the comments peaked my interest so I found their website to take a peek. The only mention of religion I found was when I clicked on their mission statement, and have to say after reading

"Erskine Attachments is a business in ministry dedicated to the call of enlarging God’s kingdom and being ambassadors of Jesus Christ. Our company exists to support, encourage, and equip the marketplace community to utilize Biblical Principles in their everyday lives. We desire to be good corporate stewards to our customers, employees, vendors, and the community. "

I don't feel very offended.

Just makes me realize that my planned trip to church in the morning on Easter Sunday is the first trip to church in awhile and something I need to work on. Everyone have a wonderfull Easter, enjoy the family, and slow down and look around for a minute. You just might realize we have an awful lot to be thankful for in this country. The right to put any wording in our mission statement we darn well please being one of them.
