[QUOTE="perry, post: 16963, member: 538"] I'm installing a grapple arm and hyd. cyl. on my homemade stump bucket, Is there a formula for mounting the pivot points?. I have the grapple arms mounted with just a tack weld, have not tack welded the cyl. mount as yet. I took measurements from a friends grapple bucket and here is what I came up with.... The rear mount for the hyd. cyl. is 3 in. back and 7 inches up from the grapple arms mounting position. I used these measurements when I raised and lowered my grapple arm trying to determine correct cyl. mounting position. but something is not quite right as there is only a 8 in. difference between raised arm and lowered arm?. I guess??. My (good) grapple arm came from a half damaged bobcat grapple bucket. [/QUOTE]
