Thanks for the video, enjoyed it. Just moved into a new house and picked up a 2016 tractor with 43.5 hours on it.
Glad you enjoyed it Sunjay be sure to subscribe for more! Congrats on the new tractor! What did you get?
Dude Ranch DIY , I got a Kubota mx5800, with a 72” loader bucket, brush hog and snow blower. Had it already on the back meadow to carve a few trails for the neighbors horses and for us to enjoy a walk.
Very nice! A brush hog is next on the list of attachments I want to get!
And also the gravel bucket?
I noticed your chain saw is mounted on the side of the tractor. I find that very interesting. Is that something you patented because I have never seen that before. With the grapple we have no place to keep the chain saw.
Oh how I wish I held the patent to that...! The scabbard I’m using is actually called a “SawHaul” and they offer many different mounting options for tractors and utvs. I will add a link to the description of the video!
@@DudeRanchDIY first thing i noticed. Im glad you shared the name, im ordering one
Would have liked to had a better look at your chainsaw holster. Great video, in process of purchasing a grapple for my rig.
It’s a “sawhaul” decent product if you dont feel like making one yourself.
Thanks, I made one.
Is there any value in chipping or mulching branches instead of burning?
I chip most of the brush I end up cutting, depends how clean the brush is. Don't want to send a rock through the chipper!
@@DudeRanchDIY just had two monster 70’ 56” base taken down today. Time for a tool shopping trip.
I notice a lot of videos with guys with grapples seemed to lift front of tractor off the ground a lot just wondering if that's intentional?l or just putting too much down pressure? When I run mine I don't try to put so much pressure on the grapple
I’m assuming you mean when using it as a root rake? I apply the pressure at times to try and dig roots and rocks out of the ground.
@@DudeRanchDIY no I mean when doing a simple task like just picking up brush
Yeah I think that’s unintentional and due to lack of experience! This obviously was one of my first videos ever and with the grapple so any instances of me lifting up the tractor was due to my lack of familiarity with the machine and attachment! I think if you watch some of my more recent videos featuring the grapple you will find I’ve become much more proficient at using it!!
@@DudeRanchDIY I watched a few of your videos I'll watch a couple more
Great! Hope you enjoy BB! Thanks for watching!
That Mingo Marker is pretty trick
It works really well for long tree trunks!
Or, make a cut, and then move your 20" bar to the side, and make another cut at the end of your bar.
observation: Why is it there are countless videos for a grapple hook for tiny Kubotas? Hell, just pick up the twigs by hand and stick the twigs in a garbage can.
If I could pick up 500+ pound logs I absolutely would!
@@DudeRanchDIY You or the tractor? Get it? Hard to tell with 480p.
@@itsruf1 The video is available in 1080p
You’re doing it wrong; Your chainsaw methods are not advisable! Cool tractor though
What am I doing wrong Mark??
@@DudeRanchDIY Well, your first cut on the log was textbook. @7:05 No problems there. But for some reason after that you kept doing the plunge cut @7:35 That type of cut isn’t normally used for bucking logs. There’s no need for it; plus it’s a lot of extra wear and tear on your front sprocket, and you’re more likely going to get your bar pinched in the log, as it looked like what happened. Nice video though 😅
@@bighammer587 yep did a plunge cut for two reasons, I didn’t want the piece to tear, and you can’t see it in the shot but the tips of the tree were still on the ground, various forces at play, hence the plunge cut to take some pressure off and then snap the top and bottom strap 👍🏼
Need to sharpen it now.
Enjoy your videos. Just wondering how long you have had your L3901 and what your thoughts are on it.
Thanks! I’ve had it about 3 months now and have put just under 60 hours on it and have been loving it. I primarily bought it to use for my tree work but I end up using it for everything, and it makes even small tasks all the much easier...
When you picked the three bucklings at 9:45, my thought turned to appreciating your proper ballasting.
That ballast box is great, nice and compact, although I would like to fill with concrete and create some storage for hand tools similar to “DIY My Way” did to his... Unfortunately doesn’t get much use, as of lately the chipper has mostly been attached acting as rear ballast!
@@DudeRanchDIY It's not heavy enough. You might damage your front wheel bearings. I don't expect homeowners to know but you should lead them.
@@DudeRanchDIY which ballast box is that? part number?
You need a wood chipper!
I have 2!
I really dig your presentation. Even the musik is tolerable. You illustrate tall respekt for safety and approach. Well done. Happy Thanksgiving and merry Khristmas.

Salute.

Edit;
Hey i totally subbed aswell.
:)
Thanks for watching!
Just kidding. I bought a Kubota 2501 and looking for a 55 wicked grapple. Where did you pick yours up at?
I ordered the wicked grapple directly from everything attachments. I believe they have quite the lead time on them now, something like 12 weeks... the bucket, pallet forks, ballast box, and third function valve I just got directly from the dealer when I bought it.
What chainsaw bracket are you using on the side of your tractor? Got a link or model to share?
That’s the SawHaul scabbard,
www.gearhaul.com
Would this grapple be good at raking Leafs and compost out of the forest?
It would definitely work for that application, however it would probably rake out other things as well! It is very good at getting down to bare ground!
What size / model kubota are you using. Thx
It’s a Kubota L3901 39hp tractor
Is that the kubota 3rd function or aftermarket?
Kubota, installed at dealer.
What chainsaw attachment is that on loader arm
It’s called the “saw haul” link in video description
Is that a ms290
Yes it is!
Great vid!
Thanks Daniel!
