i saw someone on the forum discussing a grapple bucket to move piles of brush. is this what they're made for? what do they look like? are they an attachment on the bucket or a separate specialty bucket? want to know what these are for and if they'd be useful for what i need (which is moving piles of "brush" after de-limbing trees. thanks.
DB, here is my thread on a grapple bucket. The tractor is a Kubota L5030 with a quick-attach bucket which is the same attachment as the most skid steers (Bobcat).
I ran a hydraulic line from one of my rear remotes and control the claws with a lever by the seat.
You can of course add a grapple to an existing bucket IE ATI. There are many threads on that.
Pineridge,
That is a nice site that you have - I am impressed with what you have done with the New Holland (in fact I was the one that e-mailed you tonight about getting the drawings for your 757C garage dolly - I'm getting a 757C next week and need a way to store it). The "homebrew" grapple looks extremely well done. Was alignment and positioning of the cylinder and grapples as difficult as it looks in the photos?
Thanks much.
