Re: Loading Firewood with Grapple

Wish they made a grapple like that for my little Kubota BX2200.
Looks like fun.

The affliction from which you are suffering is called "grapple envy". There is only one cure. Many of us have endured the pain and agony you now experiencing. I can assure you that the cure is effective.

I had to take it off because it caused too much damage.

Neat scale. I am guessing that is a half ton. Have you ever weighed it?

My 3/4 ton GMC weighs 7300 pounds, front axle 4100, rear axle 3200.

seems kinda light for the back half of the truck.

By picking up the backend he is transferring some of the weight to the front axle.

I think it is somewhere around 4500lbs. 05 Silverado Z71. Roger is correct, I would not be able to lift the front end at all.

We have a couple of hanging scales at work, this one 12.5 metric tons and the other is a 25 metric ton

I'll have to try it with my truck and see how it compares to the weight on the axle.

Yep that's what I have grapple envy. Hope to get the cure this spring. As of now I'll just have to get my fix here, holidays and college tuition for 2 kids set me back. Just a few OT shifts and I should be good for spring cure!

I wonder if the adapter for this would fit your BX2200?

You get a good load on that grapple. Looks like you had some help sawing

My new Mahindra grapple made by Kodiak I believe, seems to be holding up so far.

My logging operation last week. I'm cutting out a garden plot for my wife, and a circle drive through the trees for our driveway. Loving the grapple! Frontier 60"

That's the same one I have -- AV20H. It is perfectly shaped for grappling logs and brush.

 

[Jim Timber]

This was around 18" at the butt. It just barely made the rear end light.

How's the Woods grapple working out so far?
