Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

Keep in mind limbs poking through the back of the grapple can pop some quick connect handles open

Happened to me. One side came loose-yikes. Made some clamps to hold the levers closed-won't happen again.







And the required grapple pic

Made it back out to the property for a little grapple fun. Here are a few more shots of the Armstrong Ag 86" grapple in action...

Yes - some of it is. Trying to clear out all "trees" from the Prairie. Will then tackle the fence line as I have posted in another thread.

Thread pruned. Please continue the original discussion, sans comments, thanks.

Just getting caught up on this thread, and missed the action.

Hope to get a grapple soon to contribute.
That john deere commercial was great.

Great shot of the Texas sky. Someday I'll move back.

Until then...pine trees and snow removal for me. At least it starting to melt

Definitely a nice picture but I'll never go back to Texas. I know thems fighting words. :shocked:

Yeah, I had one come up once too but I made a little different fix.

Nice fix Jim. Thanks for sharing.

I had detailed pics online until photobucket tried blackmailing all of us. The bungee prevents the one side from latching and pinning the opposite side open. I haven't made a more permanent fix since it works and has been trouble free since I implemented it. :laughing:

Basically, I have the 3rd function plumbed into a second diverter on the cross tube and have a toggle switch to activate it. When I want to move the levers I turn that diverter on and then use my thumb button for the 3rd function circuit. It's worked out great!

I still have to get off the seat to hook up the grapple hoses, but I haven't touched the latch levers since.

I had both sides come loose once and I dropped my forks. Somebody forgot to close the levers.

It was me. Sorry dude.

Using the Compact Wicked to move some loose hay. Definitely have to use the roll & pack technique but once you get it packed up it takes a pretty good bite.

Demolition time for the new shop build!



Tearing out some very poor concrete.
