This 60" Single Lid Wicked Grapple and John Deere 3046R combination is really paying off for Kevin in Michigan!

I think this took some convincing, but wow. :eek:

Ho-lee-shiznit....

All I did was come into this thread to try to find out which grapple would best suit my 2538 for picking up bunches of small trees (saplings to 8" max diameter) and stacking them into a pile for burning later....man does my brain hurt now....

Clear as mud? There are a lot of variables and a lot of solutions. Probably the three most important variables are:

1. What you want to grab with the grapple. ie volume, weight, shape, etc.
2. Understand your tractor's limitations. ie lift capacity - grapple weight = load able to lift
3. Shape of grapple influences what you can grab/rake or whatever.

The good thing is you have lots of choices of grapples to fit your needs. EA alone has numerous styles.

x2 on Tom's post.

Here's the Wicked Twin stacking cedar's in the burn pile just this evening. For this use the quickest way to the stack was opening the lids and pushing along gathering up the trees and on to the stack. I could push about twice as many trees per trip instead of clamping on them and picking them up to carry them.

A Wicked Grapple provides lots of geometric options for running a sling to move all sorts of things around! A real back saver.
