Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

[GreatWhitehunter]

Strongly agree with Matt's(Piston) position. The grapple nonsense (even from some vendors) has gotten me to the point of not posting pics because I don't wanna hear the "experts" 2 cents or propaganda. Stay on point folks!

Just one. How many thumbs do you have total? I have one lid on the left side of the grapple, and one lid on the right side of the grapple.

I have precisely one thumb on each hand. If I had two grapples I'd want two lids...one in each.

Here is my single lid narrow grapple.

Nice! Gotta love the names 3 year old's come up with!

Here is my (almost 3 at the time) son helping me fix a flat tire. Used the "snapper" to hold the front off the ground while I took the tire off.

Didn't you read Pistons post? No more of this nonsense. All of us double lid guys can keep our double lid grapples and all you single lid grapples guys can keep your single lid grapples. They both obviously work for the owners intended purpose, and that's all that matters. You'd think Obama was trying to ban one type of grapples just looking at all the nonsense over it.

Double post.

Note: members can delete their own double posts......click on "Edit Post"...the next window will provide a field where you can enter "reason for editing" (double post)..then click the "delete" button in the bottom right-hand corner.....the "reason for editing" field might even be optional...not sure.....works for me.....twister

Maybe chill out?

That's hilarious.

 

[Jim Timber]

"If you like your grapple, you can keep your grapple."

You know, that was followed by "if you don't have a grapple because you couldn't afford one, you better buy one or will be forced to pay a no-grapple tax."

 

[4570Man]

Does this count for a narrow single lid grapple?

 

[PSEbowhunter]

"If you like your grapple, you can keep your grapple."

But your grapple will now cost more than it used to.

 

[4570Man]

I might have started something even worse than the grapple lid debate.

Lol

I have another one.

If I had a grapple it would probably look like a Wicked grapple.

I shared these on our Wicked Grapple thread, but they fit in here too.
Also, I frequently post customer submitted grapple pics on our EA Facebook Page.

It looks like he is getting some good use out of the grapple and tractor.

This grapple was actually built to handle pine branches. You cut a million off, pile them on a trailer, loose half of them on the way to the burn pile, and unload the trailer by hand. There had to be a better way. This was my solution. You pile the branches on and compress them as you go, like on a garbage truck.

The grapple comes off the fork carrier easy enough, but interferes with the load carrying ability of the pallet forks when mounted. Not to worry, I have a better machine and forks aside from this.

We just used this, that day, because the Ag tires were more suited to the conditions that day.

As far as number of lids go. I't take a triple lid any day!
