Grapple Installed the new Grapple

[Big Bri]

So my grapple came in a couple weeks ago and i wasn't allowed to use it till Christmas. (my wife got it for me for Christmas. . . Isn't she Great) Got up this morning and put on the new grapple and used it for the first time. Didn't have any set job for it so i drove to the back of the shed and brought this to the back door. (Kinda like a cat killing a mouse or bird and leaving on the step for me to see.) any way it works great and i think i'll get lots of use out of it. . . even if i have to make something up
Merry Christmas to all of you
Brian

ps. She also got me this tooth bar. God i love her.

Hey Brian
Great looking grapple. I have a toothbar that looks similar to yours as well. How are you operating your hydraulics for the grapple?

Great (big) pics! 2591px ﾗ 1943px I had to give up loading them.

Did the riding mower smart off at the Kioti or something?

Merry Christmas Joe, No that started out as a Scotts Riding mower from Homedepot. Its about 16 years old and hasn't run for the past 3. Now i have no excuse not to load it in the pack of the trailer and take it to the dump.

Merry CHRISTmas Brian. WRlong makes a nice kit and I will probably install a hyd solenoid valve system for the Anbo grapple (I am currently using the rear remote plumbed to the front) .

Santa brought me a grapple too. But I was allowed to put it on about a month ago. I love it, the bucket hasn't been back on since.
Grapples are so handy, every owner of a front loader should just go ahead and get one!

Brian, did you make the wife come out and look at what you carried to the back steps. You will find more uses than you could imagin. Nice set up.

Merry Christmas Bill,
yes i did, kinda my way of saying "see there is a good reason for it"
she knows that there will be many uses but she has been having fun with it. when we got home from my parents house today she told my girls to take all their Christmas presents out the car and put them on the ground so daddy can pick them up with the grapple. We had a good laugh about that

Well i can do with out he hurricane, but i'm itchin for a for a reason to use it.
taking down the Christmas tree next week. . . will use it to bring the tree to the burn pile

is that hydraulic kit a true one touch or just the diverter valve?

 

[SWIMMER]

Very Nice, Santa was also good to me and brought me the WR Long valve and new grapple from Markham.

Used it to move some logs and debris from a storm that took down a spruce tree in the horse pasture. Hard to believe I made it this long without it.

i'm not sure of the difference but mine works by a toggle switch on the loader handle. push the top part of the button and it opens push the bottom of the button and it closes. all other functions of the loader work while using the grapple. i hope that helps

[Goodluck w/ That]

Is that the light duty from Markham??? I'm still thinking about getting the 4' light duty for my L39 after reading about them on this site. I want the pallet forks too.
Yep, you'll makeup all sorts of reasons to pick stuff up now!!!! You probaly picked that mower up a couple more times just because it wasn't loaded straight on the trailer. Ha Ha

That is considered a true "3rd Function" solenoid valve, NOT a diverter.
