    Well crap. That's something else I "need"! Picking up the different sized rocks and the brush pile sold me. I haven't looked at the price yet. Nice video buddy! We'll talk soon!

      Definitely let’s chit chat and I’ll tell you more stuff this can do. Though you have a log grapple and it will do most of the jobs this split top grapple is really the attachment for surgical removal of “stuff”.

    Well done as always Tony . Those cylinders are not cheap implement cylinders . Great quality . The teeth design allows too grab logs up too certain size from butt end also . People need too support there country manufactures and pay a little extra for quality and well thought out engineering . Great presentation 👍👍👍👍

    Every tree service company I work with has this style of grapple. They are the best all-around style, in my opinion! A Feller just needs to remember that when purchasing a lighter weight grapple, to help with lift capacity on these sub compact tractors. They are not an anvil and are not ready for the next county fair demolition derby! Use it like you have some sense, and they will be very handy for a good long time! Thanks for sharing and continuing to find these great companies,Tony!👍

      @TonysCoolTools  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wayne. you are spot on! There is a lot of stuff you can do with a tractor if you just slow it soen and know your limitations. The split top grapple is definitely a much more functional attachment than a fixed top, I appreciate you watching and commenting. TCT

    My single lid (wicked 55) has some limitations being a single lid vs the double lid. @71 ya gotta be super careful how much strain you put on your back. The grapple does all the heavy lifting

    That grapple is pretty nice. I can’t remember if you have the frostBite grapple also or is that just Chris? I definitely like the idea of not over buying an implement and loosing lift capacity. I also like the versatility of a grapple that can multitask. I need a grapple for some clearing I want to do this fall so this info is very timely. Love your videos,Tony. Thanks.

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Though I own both the Frostbite and Wicked 55 grapples the split top is definitely a multi functional grapple.
      If you’re primary work with logs the Frostbite is the way to go. but if you want something that will do logs, brush clean up and root grapple the Stinger is the way to go.

      I believe its like me comparing a alder tree to a fir tree.
      .
      Fir will flex a lot and not snap super violently.
      Once a alder gets to its braking point, its wowsers batman violent breaking of the wood. As i know far to many people that have been injured, or lost there life to those red-alder trees.

      The softer metal likely withstands blows of cargo being dropped in it better than the stronger steel. Along with road abuse.

    Thanks for the video Tony. I just got my CK 2620 two weeks ago. So far so good. That grapple looks awesome, looks really well thought out. I like the grill protection and tree pusher. Question for you - how heavy is your rear ballast weight? My property is extremely steep and the backhoe puts the weight very far rearward. I have filled tires and would like to get rear wheel spacers. Seems like having the counterweight closer would be more helpful. On FB (near me ) a seller has a 1200 lb concrete ballast block cheap. This seems a bit heavy to me. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The home made concrete square with the make shift lead weight on top weighs in ant just about 400 lbs. It’s compact and easy to install without a quick hitch. I’ve found with that weight and my loaded tires I can pretty much pick up the capacity of my tractors without the rear end being lifted up. My Chipper weighs in at 800 lbs but I don’t keep it on the tractor that often.
      Though the 3point on the 2620 will lift that weight I probably would not use that as my primary ballast.

    Hi Tony,
    Is there a particular grapple that you could recommend that would be good at picking up a single log to about waist height so that one could easily saw that log up into say 16" rounds? I am especially wondering if it would be easily possible to cut ALL of the 16" rounds, especially those in the area of the middle of the log. Thanks so much.

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Dave unfortunately none of the grapples I've reviewed are designed for cutting firewood across the length of the log.
