Yes, I tried that when the bucket was on. The heaviest thing we have around here presently is red oak firewood, so maybe a bucketful of that is not heavy enough.I’d put a loader bucket full of weight on it and try to curl/uncurl and see what happens. Did you measure the ends of the chrome rod and get an actual measurement how far off they are?
To attach the loader we had to lock down the one side then jam it against a tree to lock down the other. The grapple will not go on no matter what. I wanted to do the same exercise with a heavy log.
I didn't measure, but the difference is around an inch.
