Tree Grapple

[joshlee]

This video here shows a guy with a tree grapple attached to his 1430. I wanted to write to him to ask where he got the grapple, but I can’t figure out how to leave a comment for this video. Also, on the Power Trac website under used equipment there’s a tree grapple similar to this.

Couple of amateurs, eh?

hahaha nice work. Really shows the versatility of an articulated machine. Note the lawn isn't torn to heck by the wheels.

Don't know anything about the grapple, though. Sorry.

That’s probably the one. Thanks

The dude with the grapple must own the company. He’s working crazy fast. Just on the verge of “wreckless”

That’s quite a variety of log grapples.

Yeah, I noticed that! I was actually wondering if the video was in high speed!

I don't think so; you can hear people talking in the background and the climber is chainsaw ing and dropping limbs at what I consider to be a normal rate.

I do agree that he backs around in front of that chipper crazy fast. I wondered if it was the camera angle and he actually had more room than it appeared. I found it interesting that there didn't seem to be any downside for his use to having a free swinging grapple, I.e. no hydraulic rotation.

All the best,

Peter

That's the way I drive mine. Super comfortable manipulating that machine.
