Using a Rock Grapple for Brush

[TractorGuy]

Anybody using a rock grapple for brush? I would like to be able to pick up small brush and limbs and be able to shake out as much dirt as I can to move to burn piles. Didn't know if the smaller 4 to 5 inch spacing on a rock grapple would clog with dirt and not allow me to separate the dirt from the debris.

For a 430 loader? Better get the lighter weight option to not lose too much lift capacity. I have a brush grapple with 4" spacing, it's pretty heavy. The teeth do seem to hold a little dirt, but I'm in really sticky clay soil it sticks to everything. 4" spacing is kind of nice to keep in smaller items while bouncing through the woods.

I actually have a 420 loader but fixing to upgrade all the cylinders to 2" bore. Should bring it up to 430 specs or better lifting capacity. I've read it increases lifting capacity while reducing operating speed. I see both as a plus.
