If so, did the word <font color=red>grapple</font color=red> apply to this contraption?

Actually, I'm not going to use it at all. Bubenberg on the other hand...

But first, a rigorous set of scientific tests to determine appropriate limits for the users manual...

The smile on that face says it all.

Henceforth, when Herr B and Charlie get together for experiments we'll have to refer to them as Bube and Rube.

Such an honor - I'm stunned. To be nicknamed after the late great Rube Goldberg, patron saint of the Power Trac Forum.

He's raised the bar again! I'll never catch up now - my shorts bunch up way too soon. The man is getting entirely too comfortable doin' the PT pucker. He'll be on the stunt show circuit before we know it.

What I wanna know is how you managed to set up these shots with hardly a snowfield in sight.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the presence of mind to photograph him straightening out the machine and lifting that chunk of cherry up on the truck in front of him and then picking it back off and driving away with it. The device actually lifts pretty well.
And, if you don't need to grapple anything, the boom has a 2" receiver at the end to attach any number of other neat things. Two pins and the grapple's off.

No snow down here in Maryland - we're below the Mason Dixon line, remember?
But just in case some arrived, Bubenberg brought with him the "cheap" scraper blade that he described a few posts back.
