I just finished adapting a grapple bucket for a Dingo to fit my Yanmar miniexcavator. I lucked out on the geometry of the bucket and it works perfect. It amazes me how much I can pickup with it. I piled brush for just a few minutes to try it out, I have a pile as big as my garage. It will handle a 20' branch 12" in diameter with ease. I have a few pictures but will get one mounted on the machine. I am waiting on the paint to dry.

I finally got to put it to work. It worked much better than I expected. Here are some "action shots".

Looks great and should be a real handy add-on.

That's pretty cool. In essence, you just made yourself a thumb and root rake. Very effective combo! Good job on the fabrication.
