Thanks for the info everyone. I’ll be looking for mirrors. I‘ll be wanting a snowblower. Lol. It’s on the list now. I use a back blade but now I may push more than pull. That way on not pulling over my tracks

Does anyone use rear view mirrors to brush hog? My neck is sore after try to look over my shoulders pushing brush hog into perimeter of the woods. Is there any other uses for mirrors if I get them? What are the best ones and where do I mount them? Do I only need1 or a set. I know theres a lot of...

Update on my progress. I received the grapple in June on 2021 and started my clean up of tree tops from the oak harvest and downed ash trees. It did an really good job where the autumn olive was not overwhelming present and the grasses not high. I saved up for a used Brush hog and got two uses...

You actually only have to buy the male quick connect if you got a male and female coupler from Summit. As you match those two up and the use the one you took off and match up that side. Better to stick with a standard for future though.

I had this problem with the Summit third function quick disconnects and the 1/2” quick disconnects I asked Everything Attachments grapple to supply. The Summit ones are a pin type center and the EE ones were ball bearing. I took the model numbers from EE and went to farmers supply. Put that type...

Thanks for the info. I also have the summit 3rd function but haven’t installed it yet. I may need to ride with tailgate down as my bed is 6’ but I don’t think that will be a problem. I could strap it. I know a brush guard is going to be on the wish list too. It looks like it may be a busy work...

Thanks for posting the photos! Looks great I hope to hear more about it. I ordered one last week it should be in by the end of the month lol. The photo of it being in your truck with bed cap on it was useful knowing mine will be able to do the same. I thought I may have to borrow a capless...

Thanks for all the great input. It’s exactly the reason why I joined this forum. I know i stated earlier about the brush hog but since then Ive decided to go with the 55" EA root rake Grapple. I figure i can get a lot of things cleaned up and ready for brush hogging and rent a brush hog until i...

I’m going with the brush hog. i know it’ll be a great tool to use. Glad to hear from Ralph on the Olive infestation and the problem they can be. I’ve declared war on them too! I call them the scourge!

I’ve got one just not installed yet.

i Would have taken pics this past weekend but there was 2’ of snow everywhere. Also now that there’s been some recall of my days there in the summer I’m leaning more towards grapple because I could probably just play with the tractor grappling without getting out of the seat. I know brush...

Yes I was thinking of renting a brush hog also

Thumb on the bucket and brush hog mIgor be the way to go

The picture was one of the few I had and correctly doesn’t represent grapple usage. The prop is located in mid Michigan with Oaks, Maples, Poplar, White Birch, some Pine out front on south side. Dead standing and down Ash(emerald ash borer). The problem I really want to get to is the invasive...

My first post, maybe you can help, since I don’t get much time with my tractor and winter is giving way to spring I am looking to get to work on my recreational property. I am looking for advise on which to buy first a Brush hog or a root grapple? The property I own is 3.5 hrs away on 20 acres...
