    I've become increasingly convinced over the last 20 years that a Skid steer is the Most useful piece of equipment ever developed for ground work that doesn't involve moving mountains. They are just extremely versatile and the number of attachments made for them just keeps growing.

      Small grapples like this definitely have a niche. not just on mini's, but skid steers and tractors too. I think the mini would definitely handle one the best, but the if distance you're moving them is very far then it might not be as good of an option because of how slow they are.

    • @amosbackstrom5366
      @amosbackstrom5366 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They work really well for dragging whole trees through tight spots and feeding a chipper.
      We have a mini skid with a grapple attachment and it's a perfect setup for residential tree work.
      With the grapple bucket you have to cut all the logs to fit through the gate, with the attachment you just drag them behind you as long as you want.
      It all depends on what you're doing, for wide open land clearing nothing beats a full sized skid with a grapple bucket.

    It's funny, I look at the description and I see NEFFEX, for the music, I love that music from the youtube audio library. I use them myself. long-time viewer, first-time commenter. I am using your videos as inspiration. Tons of footage and then cut out the trash parts leaving only 20 to 30 mins of video, put in some time-lapse and add the music. I would love to come over and see your work in person. also the ability to buy up land like you have, we wouldn't be able to afford anything like that in the UK, any land worth anything is worth millions. and if it isn't worth millions it way to far away to make it work. Im an hour away from London and so our prices are very high even for land as it will be built on for people wanting to leave the City.

      He is an inspiration for a lot of us! And you are right, the newly added NEFFEX tunes in the YT library are very good.

    I'm glad you come to the same conclusion I did. We've seen you use that demo grapple for just about everything. This log lifter is too much of a one trick pony to be useful. Great video as always, thank you.

      The one advantage i see is it can grab logs long ways so you can haul them out between tight trees. Grapple bucket cant really do that without dragging them in the reverse.

    I could definitely see a use for a 3 point mounted version of this for the back of my tractor. Specifically, for pulling out single logs from tight areas with minimal damage to surrounding trees.

    We have a bobcat mt100 mini track loader at work. It has a Ryan equipment log/brush grapple on it and it’s great for going into peoples yards without tearing the grass up or driving through wet or uneven terrain

    We had a Ford 600 and just used a cable choker attached to the draw bar to pull Mondrone, Oak and fir trees to the open field at grandpas place to be cut up. The grapple would have been nice to use as you can do so much more with it. Thanks for the videos

  • @PeterWMeek
    @PeterWMeek 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree; the regular grapple forks may be the most versatile attachment for skid-steers. The log grapple is a more specialist device. It may do ONE thing better than the grapple forks, but for just getting things done....

    great show Andrew. Imagine having an articulating arm with a chain saw at the end of it on the side of the skid steer !

    Encore, Encore!! That was fun to watch, thanks. I watch those forestry mulchers on a skid steer and they leave a carpet of fine mulch on the ground and they can take an acre of land in no time. I'd love to see you have one but your area always seems to have a ton of rocks that are visible and I don't know how well that might keep up with a forestry mulcher. 11:45 pm in Ohio. Air alerts going on and I have to stay indoors.
    You should find a section of land and build a few cabin rentals. Someone could sleep, built a fire in a pit and literally get away for the peace and quiet.
