Lots of maneuvering getting in and out of there with grapple loads. Great job!
Thanks, Ben. Now I've got a logging trailer added to the list. LOL Thanks for watching, buddy!
Watching now! Thanks for the support and nice to meet you!
Thank you too! I appreciate you taking a look at my channel. I'll be heading over to yours here in a bit. :) - David
I need a tractor like that!
Cool video mate.
You'd love it! :) Thanks for watching :) - David
GRAPPLE TIME!! I like your narration. A lot of us may forget that many watching our videos may be prospective first time tractor owners and need to have some friendly safety advice thrown at them from time to time. Great video!
Thank you very much, brother! I hope it helps some folks. Have a good one! 🍻
Definitely a useful tool. I recently bought a grapple bucket for my skid steer on the farm. Looking forward to putting it to work 👍
Oh nice! You're going to have a lot of fun with that and it will make for some really cool content, too! I'm looking forward to it also, Dave! :)
Trails are a lot of work but well worth it in the end!👍Thanks for the video😁👍
Oh man you're not kidding! I enjoy the logging part of it, but there's nothing quite as satisfying to me as cutting a new road through the woods and opening up areas of the land that were previously inaccessible or just plain difficult to walk. Thanks for watching, buddy. I really appreciate it! :)
Good grappling David! Some helpful tips for folks. Cheers!
Hey Gord! Thank you very much! Hopefully these tips help others. I appreciate you stopping by! Have a safe and blessed day my friend! Cheers!
Hello, MY CLUTTERED GARAGE told me you were a worthwhile youtube channel...so I subscribed. I enjoy clearing property!!!
Hello, Margaret! I appreciate Ed recommending my channel and for you subscribing! I hope you enjoy my videos. I have a LOT of trail maintenance and logging content coming up this year. Thank you again! :) - David
Awesome job and tips! Thank you for sharing! 😊👍
Thanks for checking out the channel! I'll be heading over to your channel here in a bit. It was great meeting all you guys today! :)
Nice job David, you've come a long ways with that grapple and tractor combo. Don't work harder, work smarter and save the body. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you, Mike! Yes sir, smarter not harder is the way to go. I wish I had thought about saving the body when I was younger though! LOL Thanks for watching, buddy. You stay safe as well, my friend!
Good video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by :)
Stay safe out there my friend, take care 👍👍😁
Thank you! You stay safe out there too! Cheers!
Good video , I like the grapple !!
Hey Del! Thank you, sir. I appreciate you coming by. Have a great evening, my friend! :)
Have a great day
You too, buddy :)
@@PaleHorseOutdoors live 5pm EST drop by if you can
good progress
old logs down on the property are always a problem
Thank you! Yes when I first bought the property, I couldn't walk through the forest without turning an ankle here and there. It's taking a while, but I'm having fun doing it! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! :)
The property keeps you busy, but it looks like fun at the same time.
Oh man, Andrew it's always such a great time! I appreciate you watching, sir! Have a great evening!
Nice seeing you again🙂💖
Vancouver, WA.
Welcome back! Nice to see you again, too :)
I get off only if it is absolutely necessary. I go out of my way to use the grapple. Saves my back and my energy.
I totally understand that, Gary! I'm the same way :) Thanks for watching, buddy!
While I was watching the video I was thinking that you need a logging trailer and then you said it. Lots of good but expensive trailer options are available. We have a couple old road trailers which we use for this type of job, a much cheaper option. I really enjoy watching your grapple action, thanks for taking the time to share this
Thank you, Joseph! I really do want a trailer and as you said they're not cheap! I would like to find one with an overall width of no more than 48" so that I can fit the trailer though the trees on the trails, too. I've found a few but I'm not financially ready to pull the trigger on one. Thanks for watching my friend! :)
Really wish i had a grapple, nice tips and video David
Thanks Joey! I hope you get one some day! Did you get your hookaroon yet?
I think YT thought I was spam because I included links in my last comment....anyways, look up extreme off road dump trailers (expensive option) or Yard Glide (cheap option) as possible solutions to your hauling problem. take care. Brad&Deb
I see this comment though! Yes sir, a trailer is my preference but those slides are pretty cool. Thanks for watching folks! ;)
That grapple is a really handy tool 👍👍I’m going to have to add one to the collection once we move down south 😀
I love it and I'm sure you will, too! You can trade in that snow blower. ;) Take care bud!
Hi David! Fine grapple work, my friend! Yes, you could definitely use a logging trailer. I’ve seen some sturdy but narrow ones on the Northern Tools website and I’m sure they can be found elsewhere. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Martin. I just checked on Northern Tool and they indeed have a few options that I'm interested in and at pretty decent prices compared to other trailers I've seen. I appreciate the tip and your support, my friend. I'm guessing that it's starting to warm up and get muddy over there in GA. Will you be doing any more work on the "lake" this year? We're really looking forward to what you have in store for us this summer! Have a great weekend :)
@@PaleHorseOutdoors Glad to hear you found some options at NT! Yes, it warming up and it was muddy but is just now drying up enough for tractor work. Yes, I hope to continue work on the “Lake” this spring and summer. Hope you have a great weekend too!
How's she goin'? That grapple is sure a great help eh!!! Can you imagine doing this work with out it? You know what I found: after I bought my tractor, the tractor turned out to be the cheapest part of the whole thing because now I needed attachments, implements and a storage area and then you need a logging trailer and you need to make more trails and clear more land. All because I bought a trailer!!! LOL Take care David and have a great week!!!
You're exactly right, Mike! At least cutting trails and maintaining the forest is fun. That right there makes it worth the money. :) I couldn't imagine trying to do all of this without a grapple and soon I won't be able to imagine how I did it without a trailer. I'm still doing the research on that because I want a narrow trailer for the woods but they're pretty expensive to get enough quality for logging. Thanks for watching, my friend! CHEERS!!
Nice! Looks very handy! I came over from Dave's live!
Thank you, I appreciate it! I just watched your recent Alfalfa pellet video. Great idea!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors Thank you!
I see all your snow is gone....lucky I must say....We still have all of it but the big melt is coming soon I hope... I hope some day to get a grapple if I live long enough......CHEERS
Oh you'll live long enough! Get a grapple and do more tractor videos, Gator! Yep, the snow season, if you can call it that, is over hear. It would be a world record for us to get any significant amount of snow this close to spring. I'm really looking forward to the long and dry days of summer now!! Thanks for stopping by, my friend! CHEERS!
those buckets are worth their weight in gold
Hello! Oh I agree 100 percent. I've gotten so much done in so little time. It really amazes me. Thanks for visiting the channel. I appreciate it and I hope to see you again! Cheers 😁
Its hard to beat the handiness of a grapple! Nice work getting through the tight trails. reminds me that i have a bit of trail maintaining that i should probably get done for this upcoming springtime. Keep an eye out in marketplace for used trailers i have a few that we use around the farm for moving martial two of them i got for free!
Wow two for free?! Nice! I've been looking on Marketplace for a while now and even the ancient rusty ones are getting more expensive every time I look. I have some new forestry tools on the way now though to experiment with. Thanks for watching an commenting, Richie! I appreciate it, buddy :)
What to do with brush?!? That is the question. I am trying to clean up piles from around my pond area and I have sooo much brush. Right now my strategy is small piles dispersed throughout the woods, but I am likely going to have a big burn pile coming soon. Great video! Your situation is a lot like mine…. New trails with logs and brush spread out all over. I’m trying to just process it into wood and trailer it to my wood pile. Good luck! Have fun with it.
The trailer is what I need man. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have piled up so much way over in dump yard hill. It takes 5 minutes to get from that site to the wood yard area and it's just not efficient. A trailer would do the trick in lowering the number of trips for sure. I haven't burned anything yet, but I'm going to have to soon because once the dry season comes, the burn bans will be in effect for weeks/months at a time. Thanks for watching, Lucas! I really appreciate it, buddy!
Enjoyed the video! You have some really dense patches of birch trees! You could build a village of teepees!
Hey thank you! Yes sir, that part of the forest is really dense. It makes getting the tractor and grapple through the trails a little more challenging, but we really like the layout and the shade during the summer. We actually have a teepee another part of the forest made of very thin Fir saplings that died out. Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it! :)
Hey new sub here. Came over from daves live. Your channel looks interesting .. glad to be here
Thank you very much! I'll be checking out your channel this evening. I'm looking forward to it! :)
I finally got a chance to watch and now I need a grapple! HAHA I have lots of brush and logs to move and i have just been using my pallet forks. It's not ideal but it works. Great Video David!
Hey Justin! I'm trying to get all my YT friends to get a grapple. They're expensive but man oh man do they make work easier and faster. I don't really care about faster as much, but trying to do logging without one would really break my back! I still want to get a set of SSQA forks because there are a few things I can't use the grapple for and clamp-on forks are just hard to work with. Thanks for watching, buddy! :)
@@PaleHorseOutdoors A grapple is on my wish list for sure. When I got my tractor, the first thing I got was the pallet forks. My wife gave me a hard time saying I will never use them. They are on my tractor more than anything else.
Just wait until you get that grapple. You may never take it off!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors maybe...
Thread the needle threw the trees to the log pile we go. 😃 Great video David. Some very good grapple tips. Looks like the new chainsaw will be put to work very soon. Stay safe out there buddy. Take care. 👋
Hey Kyle! So I was all ready to hit the log piles hard with the new saw then rain every day and no end in sight! That's WA for ya! LOL Thanks for watching, buddy!
Nice video David. A logging trailer would be very cool and quite efficient. Could look into the Woodland Mills unit or a MUTS
Hey Case. I looked into one from Woodland Mills that would have been perfect for my land and trails but they stopped producing it this years. I just googled the MUTS brand. Those are nice and not too expensive! Thanks for the tip, buddy! :)
@@PaleHorseOutdoors That's too bad about the Woodland Mills trailer. I watched a manufacturer video on them a few years ago, and they looked pretty nice and versatile. If I win the lottery one day I'd love to get a Wallenstein Timber Talon
Are you sewing or operating?! You can thread those loads through the trees faster than I can thread a needle, and Grandma’s always needing me to thread that needle! 😄👍🏻💪🏻 - Samuel
LOL Samuel! I guess I've just gotten used to the routes. I go pretty slow through the trees and it takes a really long time to carry a load from one side of the property to the other. I really need a good, 2 axle trailer that's narrow but strong enough to carry a load of logs. I've found a few, but they're not cheap! Thanks for watching, buddy :)
Hi Dave, I've had that load jostling around think happen too many times to me and have lost the load or part of the load. I now by habit keep hitting that close button every 30 seconds or so. Glad you brought that up for anyone that hasn't grappled before. Nice video, very educational. Can you make the trail wider? Ever thought of a rear stump grinder? I'm going to be making some trails this summer and I know that I want those stumps removed. May be an excavator rental though. Take care!
Hi Dave! I could make it wider in places, but I'm trying not to cut down trees if I can help it or make it too much wider than the implements. I have a stump bucket for removing the small stumps on the property. I've already removed all of them from the trail system though. I would LOVE to rent a mini-ex for a while even if just for fun and learning. :) Thanks for watching and have a great week!!
You need a MJA 3 point grapple to pull those logs out. 😀
Couldn't hurt! I wonder if he'll make me one LOL Thanks for watching, buddy. :)
Congrats on the new grapple. Sorry I couldn't watch last night after Ed's show. I had to get the girls bathed and in bed. Take Care, J
No worries, Jason! Life comes first :) Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate it.
That looks like a fun attachment for the Kubota! Are you using the logs for anything in particular?
Man, I have a blast on the tractor especially when grappling. These logs are a combination of new fells and old dead fall so they're mostly go into the fire pit. Thanks for watching and have a great evening!
@@PaleHorseOutdoors I thought maybe you were using them to cultivate mushrooms or something. I figured it was most likely firewood. Thanks.
@@GrumpyGrunt I'm sure we're cultivating all sorts of things in that pile. LOL
