Linear Actuator for ct120 grapple

[IslandTractor]

It isn't a true rectangle so was a bit hard to measure. I know the long dimension was over 43" as I couldn't fit it in the grapple maw that way. It was about 24" on the wider side. I don't recall the third dimension but think it was somewhere around 20" based on how far the grapple is closed on it. I figured it was between ten and twelve cubic feet. Some reference had granite at 175lbs/sqft so that would make it just over 2000lbs if the long dimension was just barely over 43".

I'm going down to the property this week so I'll try to remember to measure it. I'm pretty sure nobody has moved it from the side of the field where I left it ten years ago!

This is the most I can hope to pick up with his tractor. I don't have the most ballast in the back and put it in there is a weighted three point hitch trailer hitch.

In some cases if more balance is needed what I do is I could've blogs and I attach them to the three point hitch that way I don't to carry around a big implement on the trailer where space is at a premium

This I'm picking up enough to drag out to the street. But the tractor at this point is having a hard time even lifting it enough to tip the machine
