Kubota MX5800HST / Grapple sure saved my back

[Drivesprocket]

This past weekend, I moved a bunch of cedar trimmings from a fence line that I had previously cleared by hand. I had approximately 20 piles scattered down a 1/4 mile fence line. It was a pleasure moving them with the MX5800HST / grapple into a concentrated pile to be burned at a later time. This tractor really fit the bill for me. I wanted something with power, but small enough to get into the woods and be somewhat nimble around the barn and house. This was my first time using it, and I was impressed.

I put a grapple on our MX5100 and agree 100% with you. Great machine and the right size - not too big but also not too small. Really fits my needs well!
Yours looks great!

It's a Construction Attachments Worx duty, 73"

Glad it's not the Xtreme Duty 1RG.
If it were, having the loader raised that high while transporting a load would probably cause your nose to hit the grass!

Yeah, maybe so. I was a little nervous that the weight of the worx model may be an issue, but still wanted something really stout. I think it's the perfect size for the MX5800HST.

I think I see another advantage to using that grapple- you are pretty far away from any snakes that are in the brush?
