my mahindra clears normal garage door by 1/2 inch with the rops folded down only.

It is time to show the Monster Grapple in this grapple time thread.
The opening is 51 inches:

It weighs a little over 1100 pounds:

Picking up small cedar trees, adding to the one in the grapple:

Ungrappled onto the brush pile :

B26 guard. Found a piece of SS expanded metal at the scrapyard. 3x5” angle at bottom to prevent sticks from coming up. Receiver hitch not really worth the effort except maybe a tie down point for trailering. A ring or hooks a better choice.

Great pics, that looks like one stout piece of equipment.

The BX struggles at the WA property because it is more jungle...

The added weight of the grapple has to negatively impact loader lift capacity...

The BX23 performs miracles using every bit of capacity as is.

This particular grapple setup weighs only about 130 pounds. So yes, of course, that is subtracted from the lifting capacity of the loader; but the tradeoff seems worthwhile to me. It is so helpful to be able to grab stuff, either to rip it out, or just to move it.

Is that Xfaxman showing off again. One of these times he will hook the right side of the earth and set it over on the left side.
