Bob, that doesn't look like work to me, the operators smile is too big to be work. Thanks for the pictures.

Bill;
For the most part, I really do enjoy it. Yesterday was one of those days I should have stayed indoors. Got big hemlock (22 inch diameter) hung up. Took 45 + minutes to get it down. Got hit in eye by branch - really hurts. Finally broke drive chain on winch.
Sorry about the quality of the photos. I tried sending better ones, but the file size seems to be too big.

Rule one : Always scowl when you're on your tractor.
My wife felt so bad for me because I had to go out in the freezing cold and clear the drive that she baked my favorite- apple pie. In truth, we only had three inches of fluff and I could have left it, but I wanted some seat time. On the way out the door, I pasted on my most miserable scowl. It paid off. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think it is a Versa-Tech. I got it on Ebay from surplussue (?) in Syracuse NY. It is really rugged. I grab the end of 18 in. diameter, 8.5 ft. long hemlock logs (around 800 lbs.) and stack them 10 feet high. A log that size with the other end setting 6 feet beyond the end of the tines has to put a lot of pressure on that one grapple, but it handles it with out any trouble.
