I don't know about "cooler" but I find ripping out brush, knocking over trees and carrying so much brush in a load that you cannot see where you are going to make me REAL happy it is the grapple/tractor and not my back that is doing the work!
Oh, yea, almost forgot the rocks......hurts my back to even think about moving those without a grapple.

Yep, Rocks.
Got two rocks.
Got three rocks.
Got four rocks.
Took them to the pile.
One more rock on the pile.
Another rock and the pile.

No, that is a rock "mating Klatch". Kinda like one of them snake balls. How did you think new rocks are around every spring when you plow.. They have to propagate somehow.

I guess it could be if I had the oxygen lance that I operated when I worked for Calument Concrete Cutting, back in 1960! :laughing:
But it would not burn it up, it would just melt it.
Just remembered one of the most unusual jobs we did, was cutting and removing a blast furnace at Inland Steel. I got to cut (melt) the fire brick with the iron powder oxygen lance. I have been inside an open hearth blast furnace and lived to tell about it!

Grapples are cool in general. Using the grapple to move brush is definitely fun. It would take forever to get a load like that on the truck by hand. The grapple is a huge times aver.
or green ones
O.k., Roger, now I'm really impressed! :shocked::thumbsup:
I started a thread on that log to see how much it weighed. I punched the weight into log weight calculators and came up with 3,500lbs. People in the thread estimated it weighed between 3,000 and 3,500lbs. Once I showed the pictures of the 4240 lifting it they said it did not weigh that much:confused2:
