Nice machine, thanks for posting. Do you ever hanker for a rotating grapple?

[Treemoose]

Thanks Mick. I haven't really needed one as yet but I always hanker mate avant do sell one.

Having a rotating grapple is far better than a muck grab ime.

 

You can drag whole trees out, stack better, load better etc

 

 

Only thing it cans do is "rake" up

Makes work so much quicker, safer and productive! Nice kit. I was going to ask, did you start with forks then add the grab, or did you go straight in for forks with grab? Just going on your footage there, what advantage does the grab over simple forks offer (apart from the obvious of securing the load) - I'm just interested in the thought process in laying out the extra cash.

Then I started wondering why a rotating grab would be an additional advantage, but that's answered in Josh's post.

 

Bloody machines, just too many attachments and not enough cash / storage space!

Had a browse on youtube - perhaps grab is ideal for a pole load...

certainly does. I purchased the grab along with the forks. You can do a lot with the forks but the grab makes certain things a lot easier imo. Stops things from rolling off if your on a side slant, makes picking up multiple logs easy even if they are different lengths. You can grab piles of brash and place timber better on a stack or back of the van when you need a bit more precision than just letting it role off. I wouldn't be with out it but i could only afford the forks/log grab + a bucket at the time and i thought this combo gave me the best options for the work we do.

you will always want another attachment its how they get you haha!

proper handy tools whatever mini loader/skid steer it is.
