Yep, here is a picture of my first Versahandler, before I drove it out of the box and started grappling cedar trees with it:

Here it is in action back in 2010:

My tractor is a tool to suit my needs; not to impress you or anybody else. I don't really care if your *.* is bigger than mine.

Try not to feed the trolls. I know I can't help myself sometimes either. He'll burn out and disappear soon enough. :drink:

For big piles of stumps and soil to sort I'd think hard about a wide, curved-bottom, two-lid grapple, with fairly wide tooth space. And you probably don't need a heavy, HD one either thus saving lift capacity you'll need. :2cents:

Edit: wide for efficiency. Two lids for big irregular stumps. Wide spacing to sift out soil.

Bring your tractor over and we’ll run head to head. After we get done with that we’ll try raking debris. I get a grapple ( the tooth bucket actually works better) and you get a pallet fork grapple.

Thanks on both points. In all of my years online (since 2001) I had never even considered blocking anybody until today.
More importantly I hadn't thought about what to get for a grapple beyond the point of needing one, so you have gotten me thinking in that direction.

Sawyer Andy lists a Farmall M which is a really cool tractor but not a beast. I am not sure why the post

Using pallet forks ...... for pallets.

Yeah! Two men enter, one man leaves!

So do you have a grapple or grapple forks for it? Why don’t you leave? You’ve made no meaningful contributions and have been trouble for the start. And you’ve only got a tinker toy loader. Try comparing it to a 988 cat or bigger.
