Grapple Say Hello To My Little (grapple) Friend

[cartod]

That is going to be my next attachment. Nice!

Thanks guys. I can't wait to try it (and the new tractor) out!

Here's a side shot.

And a shot of when I just got it home. It fills up the bed of a full size truck!

Since I didn't have the tractor yet, I had to be creative in getting it off the truck.

PClausen,

My fellow Virginian you and that awesome green monster (I think I am in lust with your tractor!) are welcome to come eat logging slash at my place ANY TIME!

I can't wait to see dirty pictures of that beast!

Be well,
David

WOW, that is a "monster". I have never owned or used a grapple, but I would assume it would be like an FEL, you dont realize how important it could be until you have one.

Just a teaser pic testing it out this morning.

I put the pallet forks on next as I need to move some metal roofing/siding for my pole barn which I hope to complete this weekend. With the pallets on, I figured I'd see what the FEL was capable of. At just above idle, it lifted this ~3800lbs Saab. I'm impressed! No rear ballast either and no liquid in the tires, just 200 lbs worth of rear weights.

If this is your tractor, why can it not handle a grapple.

Kubota B20 - Specifications - Attachments

You could make one like this small and compact. Made with
ripper shanks.

36 in mini-skid grapple.

The Skidsteer solutions one weighs 300 lbs. more than the capacity of the B20 loader. the ripper shank one would could likely lift about the same amount of brush a person could drag across the a yard.

Who am I, but carry yours loads low my friend...

Looks like she's ready to tip w/ the car on it.

Be carefull...

What is the max allowed weight for that particlar tractor w/ a OE bucket, less any rear 3pt implements?

Are the tires filled w/ anything?
