A couple of guys stopped in while I was moving logs. The one guy said "that grapple has two things on top, it works better than a grapple with one." I could not hardly keep from laughing when he said that.

Priceless!! :laughing:

I always try to push down tree, including the root ball. Just a small hole to fill and no stump to grind or dig out.

Yep same here. Up to about a foot thick. Smaller ones I push over, larger ones I pull over at a long distance so I don't get a tree over my head.

I was moving some oak splits around today. Bucket grapple worked well.

Bucket grapples or rock bucket grapples make a lot more sense than standard grapples for moving splits and fireplace sized wood IMO.

Moving more trash to the ever increasing brush pile.

No not the bucket grapple. Remember they suck even more than a single lid grapple. : laughing:

A bucket grapple would not be that great. You would scoop up dirt with the firewood making a mess.

A rock bucket grapple would be the ultimate. Dirt would fall through but it would hold the wood.

Actually it's not bad, and I'm no expert nor do I claim to have the best equipment. And I don't get into the what's better than what debates. But the bucket with toothbar I can skim right on top of the ground and grab the splits if I pay attention. I had one scoop where I got some earth with the wood the rest were timber only.
