Cleaning up a down tree with a John Deere 317g Track Loader

I had a big oak tree blow over into one of my corn fields. I'm using the John Deere 317g track loader to pack it out limb by limb. The 317g is an awesome little machine!

Nice work, strong machine

[@pagrainfarmer]

Wow, that machine can really pick up some big pieces with those grapples. I'm impressed. Didn't think it could do that.

[@stinsonfarms6724]

It is a pretty powerful machine for it's size. A lot of fun to operate as well! Thanks for stopping by!!

I have a 317g as well and I love it. I am wondering about the make and model of your grapple. I have a Titan grapple and have had lots of problems with it and want a different one.

[@stinsonfarms6724]

I think it is an awesome machine! My grapple is a Titan as well. The only thing I have ran into is having issues finding the same type hydraulic fittings as it came with. When I have had to replace any I have had to cross them over to something else. It is a little lighter than I'd like, but I haven't broke it yet. Thanks for watching!!

Don't You know how to UNDERCUT Branches before Top-Cutting....will Save Damage to SAW and Avoid Dangerous Situations?!!

[@stinsonfarms6724]

I do. Thanks for the advice!
