Grapple Bucket

[MossRoad]

I've had a grapple half built for a couple years now. I just need to put a cylinder on it and it will be done. I have not yet determined where to mount my cylinder, so therefore I cannot determine cylinder length. One way is to make a cardboard mock-up. Then you can manipulate it and determinne the length of the cylinder and length of the throw that you will need and adjust the mounnts to fit. Someday when I need it, I will finish it. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Here's a picture of what I have completed.

And here's a link to a long discussion about it.

Looks like I have about 110 dollars in this one. The cost was for the cylinder, hoses and connection. The rest i had laying around. The prongs were from and old horse drawn 4 foot plow.
