A lot of the difficulty is with your technique. You came over the top of the log and you want to push the lower tines under the log. The idea is to get the weight over the pins on your loader, that's where it's the strongest. If you got your grapple under the log, rolled the log to the back of the grapple, curled the grapple back and clamped down it would have been able to lift it higher.
Nice to see somebody torturing their "New Tractor" besides me. It only takes One time to "smash-out" the front axle seals to Start the Leaking, if not today- then Definitely in the near future. Thanks for the great Vidio and happy safe tractoring.
I can't tell what kind of wood that is but it looks like hardwood and a log that big is probably closer to 2500 lbs. There is a log weight converter online I use for Loblolly pines but they weigh nothing in comparison.
@@letslearntogether4361 according to the the log converter with the measurements you gave, using a pin oak as the wood it should be just under 1900 lbs.
@@froochie123 Wow! I would never have guessed it weighed that much. I didn't realize how much logs weigh. The RK25 did much better than I had realized! Thank you for the feedback.
@@letslearntogether4361 youre welcome! I tried to add the link but TH-cam wont allow it. Whats even more interesting is the pin oak was 1900 pounds while other oaks were 2500. Amazing how a different type of treen within the same family could be so different.

That's a pretty thicc a$$ log 😁Still quite impressive for a general use tractor..... nice 😁👍😊
I agree. For a little 25 HP tractor I was surprised.
The grapple attachment itself is consuming a great deal of the lift capacity.
Enjoy your videos, May I ask what size and make grapple is on your rk25. Thanks
I’ll have to look to be sure, but I believe it is MDL is the make and it is 60” long. Weighs 350lbs.

I agree with you on your suggestions. I'm surprised it even got it off the ground at all really. I think that log is 1500lbs +
When the whether warms and it dries up where the logs are I might try that.

Yes, that lift was a little crazy.
Big Log.. Compact Tractor.. Not Bad. Are You Still Happy With Tractor?
Yes. I still love having this tractor.
Wood weighs appx 85 lbs per square ft. That log coukd be 3000 lbs. Looks can be deceiving

I was told it is a pin oak tree. I’ll try to get the measurements and post them in the description.
I just measured the log. It is 100"x24"x28". One side is 24" wide and other end is 28" wide.
