[QUOTE="1ofU, post: 70929, member: 7410"] the log grappler for the most part is [U]done[/U] !!! here is some pics of the finished grappler had to shorten the graplers by 6 inches , and do some other mods to get it all to come together , so it opens up to 28 inches . i did a couple of test lift this afternoon , 6 degree's outside so i didnt spend too much time out , have to cut some wood tomorrow so i will be out in it all day . to be able to drop it, it has to set about 20 inches off the ground to unhook and hook back up with ease so i used a old leaf spring from a jeep and a 4 inch pipe for the back support it will also support longer logs when lifting . i will run it and see what i need to change if anything right now it seems to do very well . i will start on the bucket grapple in a day or two will do a follow up on that project .
