Whats your multione loader doing today ?

[Mick Dempsey]

Good point, I do find that we use a lot less petrol now as we don’t have to cut it small enough to lift (not always but often) plus the chipper uses less fuel as it’s chipping more while it’s running rather than idling.

Feeding my chipper with the grapple, it did jam but I didn’t have time to go all Hollywood on it.
 
 

Anyone know if a grapple like this will work on my older 528 Avant?

I've got three hydraulic connections on the boom, but have only used two of them. No idea what the middle one does [emoji15]

Oil out & oil back in or reversed if you use the lever the other way, the 3rd pipe is normally the motor bleed return, You can run the grab with the 2 you use but if your using a hydraulic rotator  on the grab you will need to use a electric splitter valve or add an extra service to power it.

Yes, it was the rotator bit I was wondering about.

Mines not a rotator Al, it’s a free rotating. I did a lot of research, nearly everyone said a “knockabout” was all you need.

i would be extending the plate at the bottom of the grapple.you will find it much more versatile.Also good at keeping the wood away from expensive hydraulics

Dead right, it was constructed by a guy who had seen photos, so not quite perfect.
