Then you get one tooth of a grapple arm behind the tree by wiggling the machine sideways into the tree and close it hard. Now, as you drive forward, roll back the bucket which will plant you firmly in the ground which will give you traction (if you have tracks--no tracks--you'll bury it), and drive foward and lift too. Another way is tip the grapple at about a 45 degree angle digging the cutting edge into the trunk and drive forward while lifting.</p></blockquote><p></p>
