Grapple Front end loader grapple bucket for demolition?

[bcp]

After looking around, I decided to just build one. Don't have photos yet mainly because its one of the ugliest things I've ever made. It is more of a lobster claw than a bucket and its working ok so far. Thanks for all of the advice.

Around here, we won't believe it 'till we see it.

Well here it is. This has got to be the ugliest thing I've ever slapped together, but it's getting the job done for about a tenth the cost of one I could buy.

Hey, ugly is as ugly does!... You know what?, You could make it look about 200% better with a $5 rattle can of black paint.:thumbsup: Trust me on this one..

Thanks. It needs a few more tweaks beore painting. I want to re-work the cylinder mount tabs so the cylinder can be reversed. Maybe add some more steel here and there.
