[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 10824, member: 307"] Just measure your cylinders lengths retracted and extended, then tack up your pivot points and and measure the distance with the jaw open and closed. Move around as needed. For the pin on the back end of the cylinder: The closer you move it to the main grapple jaw pin the more the jaw will close with 1” of cylinder travel, but the less force it will have. I would leave 1/2” of stroke left when its closed, so as the pins wear it will still close tight. Further, it would be good to have the grapple point meet the cutting edge back 2 or3” so as the edge wears down it does not develope a overbite. Ken [/QUOTE]
