3 point log grapple looks like it would be very useful. Also would be great for skidding logs out of narrow trails where you couldn’t carry them out sideways with a front loader grapple. Thanks for sharing Heath👊🏻🇺🇸
That 3ph grapple is a wonder!! I wonder why more YT woodchuckers don't have one! I liked the idea well enough that I built my own. It's not as strong, but opens a little wider for brush piles. I really, really like that thing!!
That’s a great tool to hold logs up so you can stand up straight and cut. And it would be handy for other jobs too. I need to think up away to hold logs up so I can stand up and cut. Oh my aching back. 🥴 Lots of wood for Rachel to spilt. 🤭 And thanks for your message the other day 👍🏻😀
I like the Ramsplitter for a fact! Another fact is I like the 044. The Prosizer I’m still on the fence about, however. When Rachael screamed my heart raced thinking you’d had some mishap. However, it was only a bug 😮 Great video, great content. Oh, I’d like to see what 100% of that 11% looks like 😂
Thanks Mark, oh yeah Rachel is easily startled! The grapple and 044 are great, I really like the pro sized too but it has pros and cons. I think in your situation you’d like it. The cons are it needs to be charged, I sometimes forget between cutting sessions, it is fixed to the saw, so if you buck with multiple saws it’s limited or you need multiple units, it takes a little getting used to. As far as the 11% goes I can’t help you with that lol.
I have some other videos on the channel showing me using it up front. I do need to get a heavier duty adapter plate for my tractor though as I’m way over the rated capacity on the one I have.
That’s a fine piece of logging essential machinery. Great video heath. Really like your 044. They r a bullet proof old saws. What size of bar is on that one ?? And where did you get it ?
Thanks, it is a 24” bar and I bought this one off eBay from a place in Australia. So far I do like it and it’s supposed to hold up a lot better than traditional bars. It is more rigid for sure!
Great video guys. That grapple is definitely a good tool to have. Heath do you sharpen your own chains. That saw definitely cuts fantastic. Thank ya. Y’all keep up the great work. Bruce in Wv.
I have the firewood prosizer on the saw, it is a laser that attaches to the handle and you index it the same before every cut to get consistent lengths.
Troy, the pro sized is pretty accurate. It takes a little bit of getting used to and it’s not perfect but definitely gets them real close. It’s fast and easy on the fly. But has to be kept charged up and is mounted to a dedicated saw. So pros and cons. But overall I like it.
30 ton cat 1.5 ton ensign grapple four stems at a time n we could fill a two cord bed with rings on the truck in 15 mins in the logging gang. One on the 661c n one operating the cat. Knock off time work perks.
You have the coolest stuff. We could use one of those in the woods, but we can only dream. Great for bucking, too.
Kenny
Thanks Kenny, I look for equipment to make the job easier and often try things I haven’t seen on other channels etc.
Keep up the good work 🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍
Thanks Richard.
I love that three-point grapple! Great job with the video Rachel and Heath. Take care and have a nice evening!
Thank you Steve!
Thanks Steve! The grapple definitely comes in handy!

Thanks Todd, it definitely comes in handy! I’ve slid a lot of logs out with it!
Pretty cool Heath, got to get one for my Garden Tractor lol, would be good for moving logs around for sure, nice editing Rachel
Thanks Len, they definitely come in handy if you have a machine to run them.
Thank you Len!

I love it! Use it all the time. I need to get better at building my own gear.

Lots of wood for Rachel to spilt. 🤭
And thanks for your message the other day 👍🏻😀
Thank you, it is definitely much nicer cutting at waist level than bending over to cut!
'mechanical advantage'. thanks for sharing.
For sure, thank you for watching.

Bugs get me everytime! I can’t help my reaction 😂 I too would like to meet the 11%! Maybe at Boonville or Bunyan😊
The grapple is sure handy and a way to make a tractor without a loader more useful
Robert, absolutely! It definitely comes in handy!
Nice work Heath ! Like that grapple….nice to not have to bend the back so much. Really like seeing the old 044 Stihl do it’s thang 👍👏🚜⛓🪚🇺🇸 Rick
Thanks Rick, it’s a back saver for sure! The 044 is turning out to be a real nice saw.
I love America, Tractors, Chainsaws, and firewood..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🪵🌲🪵🪓
Ahhh, the finer things in life! Thanks for watching!
Heath thanks for the information. I was wondering if there was something of this nature that could be used from back to front.
I have some other videos on the channel showing me using it up front. I do need to get a heavier duty adapter plate for my tractor though as I’m way over the rated capacity on the one I have.
hi there good show . looks to me its time for a Stihl 201 . john
Thanks John! I’d like to add a top handle some day.
I am impressed. Now I want one..
It has been a great attachment!
That definitely would be a handy tool to have!!👍💪👍
I love it Jeremiah, I bought it pretty cheap too but that was about 8-9 years ago. I definitely got my money’s worth out of it!
You what? Women are, “Watching Rachel” !! 🎉🎉🎉
And so are the men!!! 😂😂❤
Lol, you never know what’s going to happen!
Don’t tell him the ladies aren’t there for him! 😂
A nice attachment Heath.
Thanks, I love it.
Great video you guys cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Thank you!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors love your videos keep up the awesome work cheers my friend

Thank you, yes I do sharpen my own chains. I try to hand file for the most part. However if a chain gets too bad I throw the Granberg dremel on it.
Nice grapple. But I can't believe that I made it through an entire video without the Wood Bunny!!
🐇
Lol. Glad you powered through it!
Thanks for suffering through it lol. I have to with hold the wood bunny once in a while to keep the HWM name legit.
why do you do that little bite after the log falls before moving over to where you are cutting?
This tool looks great! Id love to get one myself!
I have the firewood prosizer on the saw, it is a laser that attaches to the handle and you index it the same before every cut to get consistent lengths.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors very cool. I had no idea that existed. will definitely be picking one up!
You know I could appreciate that .
Thanks Michael, it definitely comes in handy!
Do you find the pro sizer to be close to be right on?
Troy, the pro sized is pretty accurate. It takes a little bit of getting used to and it’s not perfect but definitely gets them real close. It’s fast and easy on the fly. But has to be kept charged up and is mounted to a dedicated saw. So pros and cons. But overall I like it.
When you have a 24 inch log left in the grapple with only 12 inches sticking out cut cut off 8 inches and you will have 15 inches left in th grapple.
That works sometimes too. I’m just always nervous about hitting the grapple if the cut is too close to it.
Wish I could use something like that but my tractor is 82 years old and I'd hate to work the old girl that hard😅
Yeah, unless it’s a big tractor I don’t think they used to have the 3 point lift capability the newer ones do.
👍
Thanks Will.

That’s a sweet set up for sure!! Talk about production.
👍👍
Thank you!
Darn... no outtakes....
Not in this one. Some days we have a lot some days not so much.
Looks like it works fine for small logs, I highly doubt you can skid out 24" x 30foot green logs with this
I’ve skid some pretty big logs with it.
Definitely a cool woodyard tool, skidder Kev has some wild videos using his🪵🇺🇸
Skidder Kev is a great operator with his grapple! It definitely comes in handy.
