Grapple Which type of grapple is best suited for...

[IslandTractor]

Found the DigiWeigh DWP-5000C2X Crane Scale on eBay in March for $310, looks like the price has gone up.

Amazon has it for $360 including shipping. Nice toy. Given that it is something that only needs to be done a few times however it is a bit pricey just to satisfy curiosity. Maybe one of us should buy one and "rent" it out to others for $50/week. I'll put my name on the "want to rent" list.:thumbsup:

I had a platform scale that went to 1000 lbs like this one, but wanted something bigger.

I looked at digital platform scales like these,
but realized to weigh anything heavy, I would have to pick it up with the loader, so I got the crane scale.

Since breaking concrete with the Gorilla Grapple was mentioned earlier in this thread, here's more pictures.

Used the V417 to remove this broken wood post that had been set in concrete.
Grabbed it lightly, with the center tines, being careful not to break it,


Put it in a little gully to slow down the erosion.


First squeeze.


View from the seat.


Now it will be low enough to run the brush hog over when the dirt fills in.

Envy.

Yep, I know the feeling, been there, done that.

Took off the grapple today, put on the tree puller.

Actually my grapple at 44 inches wide, and 6 tines, is the smallest that I have seen on TBN! :laughing:

I know about "full floater" rear axles on trucks, but this is the first Full Floater no axle trailer that I have seen!
