[QUOTE="nailsbeats, post: 8518, member: 784"] I just started my latest project, a 72” grapple bucket. All I have left to do is put on the quick tach mount, the grapples, and weld. I am hoping to finnish all but the hydraulics today. Here are the specs. 37 3/4” deep, 21” tall, 1/4” bucket, 3/8” end wraps, 3/8” grapples, 3/4”x6” cutting edge with four 1/2“x4 1/2” runners underneath, 3/16”x3 1/2”x3 1/2” tube full lenth across the top to mount the grapples to, 2”x8” cylinders, multiple gussetts I will use this attachment for scraping out a couple old buildings, tree removal, and handling firewood. For scrapping it will be great because you can keep the area in front of your tires or tracks clean. You can also haul long pipes and any smaller or odd shaped pieces in the same load. For tree removal you can move brush, logs, firewood, stumps, and the last bit of rakings. For firewood I think it will work well when diving into a loose pile, you should not have much spillage. Obviously, you can backdrag and haul bulk materials like a regular bucket. Keeping a work area smooth and level means alot. I will get a picture when completed, it will be heavy! [/QUOTE]
