The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!!!

[blin]

I will have pictures, but video is more difficult since I'm primarily a one man operation. My "toy" budget also goes for nifty things like grapples instead of hands-free video equipment. I'd hafta imagine it's pretty tough using one hand to shoot a cell phone video while operating a grapple.

Not that hard. Lol

Guess it depends on how picky ya are about quality. I'd not want to affect the quality of my less-than-skilled operation adversely and break something for the camera, while my less-than-stellar camera skills have the action just out of frame.

I should hire a Peanut or a Travis!

I got dibs on a 72" dual lid.

Ah, we're not picky about video quality! A picture is worth 1,000 words, but a video is worth 1,000 pictures.
Does the dog go tractoring with ya? GoPro on the collar! :laughing:

A triple lid would hold things more securely and an 84" would scoop more stuff too. Especially with a super powerful loader like on the L3400. :stirthepot::stirthepot::banghead:

I'll update profile with new tractor when it's in my possession. I hope that OK with you, Francis.

Is that a single or double jaw???

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I'm sure it's too big a bite for the body size behind it.

 

[Mikejeakins]

I think the Shark needs braces.

Nah. A little heat and a good persuader could line those puppies back up in no time. You hold him still, I'll apply the heat and hammer!

I wonder what a shark would do with a second set of jaws.

I was cruising YouTube this morning and came across this Wicked Grapple video.

Seen that one a bunch too. I find watching other people operating equipment is a good way of seeing what works best, or doesn't work.

Yea the dog goes on the tractor with me, but he's a terror (terrier) and is on the move all the time. He wouldn't make a good camera-man.

I received my hydraulic kit today. Seems like install should be a relative breeze on my tractor. I'll let you know how it goes in a few days. We're expecting a beautiful weekend here. As long as nothing more urgent comes up, it will be installed.

I'm not sure I'd promote that video. Guy takes 10 minutes to do a 2 minute job. Maybe the second jaw slowed him down.
