Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

It is a good reminder. For whatever reason I tend to live with leaky tires rather than getting then fixed. My larger FEL loader front right loses air over about an 18 month period. One of my cars leaks down in about 5 weeks.

Tube the fronts and forget about it. I don't think I have put air in them since I tubed them three+ years ago. Dropped mine off at Les Scwhab... they had tubes in stock and turned them around quickly.

I even lose the tubed fronts, Les Schwab has fixed my Massey fronts 3 times in 2 years. Don’t know why but I think they have a built in magnet for attracting nails. They fix them for free as part of their road (barnyard?) hazard guarantee.

Well tubes won't help you with nails... but man, sounds like you drive in hazardous territory! If it isn't nails, then maybe check your rims next failure.

Finally got my Grapple Now I need to get Hydraulic lines made up. Unloaded it from the my trailer, good thing I didn't go wider as I would not have been able to unloaded it directly on to my loader. Almost 47 inche opening.

Very nice. Where did you order it from? I assume that is an OBG1?

Yes, Its a 64 inch OBG1, I did a dealer search at the WR Long site turned out there were 2 dealers in my area, a 90 minute drive from my place. I also checked with dealer in NC but he wanted 650 bucks for Frt.

Looks good.
I added lines to my remotes on our old tractor for the grapple. Here is a video.

Using the Monster Grapple in 2015 to move some trees pulled earlier with the tree puller:

Dropped them on the brush pile in the ravine:

I don't know why everybody's got to have these fancy grapple buckets they can't do any more than a pair of pallet Forks on it the front of a tractor with a grapple I think that is a better method anyways. So why do you need to have so many more tools than what you actually need. Pallet Forks on a tractor can pick up many more things than just pallets they they do a great job with the Sawmills and loading logs
