    I waited a long time to get the grapple. Got a few cherry logs. This is one of them.

    Nice tractor and grapple !
    Are your rear tires filled ? If not , I would recommend it. Night and day difference when using grapple or bucket. I also grooved mine , seems to help with traction.

    Great accessory! buzz-saw got his later after using forks and makes a big difference.

    Sweet log.:thumbs: Firewood or milling?

    that one is for firewood. Most likely. I will send the pic to my friend. He might want it.

    Are you able to easily cut the log while it’s in the grapple?

    I would need a longer log or a log grapple…forget if this one is a 60” or 72”. You’re missing out on at least 4 16” logs. I can switch for the pallet forks when the logs are in the yard. Easier to cut with those.

    Good for you. Really happy with mine. Working it today cleaning tops. Have carried some pretty long logs for cutting close to the splitter. Great labor saving
