If the fork was wider would 2 thumbs work better?

I am definitely going to have to experiment with a spatula next time. This is the kind of field testing I could really sink my teeth into.

This thing's somewhere north of 3,000#. That's as high as the boom would lift it.

Thankfully I had some curl before the rear end popped up so I did get it on my trailer.

I loaded this log with my grapple. It is about 38" on the big end. It was absolutely all my tractor wanted to lift.

Ted has been having some grappling fun!

It looks like there's a little tractor in this photo...

It's actually a 141 horsepower M6 Kubota Tractor with a big, bad 96" Wicked Grapple!

Oh Oh! Time for Ted to start design on the Super Duper Wicked 120", quad lid, Grapple-Saurus!

Yea, we may need a bigger tractor. :laughing:
The back tire of the M6-141 was in the air a few times, even with loaded rears and a 3,000 pound EA Box Blade installed for ballast!

Far be it from me to question the professionals, but at some point maybe you should just consider a chain saw. :laughing:

Cleaning up around our pond, had not been done in 30 years or more. Used my EH27 Mini-Ex and the new Boomer. Love a grapple.... next to a bucket the best thing I ever had on a loader!!

Took me a few seconds to figure out how that pile of roots was "levitating". All I saw was another tree in the background and did not recognize it as the actual stump...

Great pics and vid!

That's the best way to cut a tree when you intend to removed the stump with a grapple. Lots of leverage to push the stump with before slipping the grapple underneath to pop it out.

Ted clearly has no clue what AR400 means.

The subtitles on that video are a hoot too.
