To all Hello,
I am a novice at this form of media so forgive my mistakes and ignorance. I use my tractor loader for any heavy work as I am fairly busted up from lifes reminders that I'm getting old and the scars cover up broken stuff.
I have to finish a retaining wall of Manor Stone concrete blocks and the weight is bustin' my knees down. So I thought I could drop the bucket from the backhoe and install a rotator and small stone or material handling grapple. And then I found there may be such an arrangement out there but some body is hording and hiding them.
If you can aim me toward some manufactures or stores for a grapple to lift a 6" x 18" x 12" block and with a lift capacity below several tons (500 lbs is more than enough) I would be obliged. Ideally I wont to grab the block, hoist it, seing into position and set it-roughly from the seat. Just like moving timber but on a smaller scale. I found many makers and models but the smallest was still made for timber stacking-too big. Thanks
