Dude, that is so cool! Looks so handy and beautifully made. Well done!
P.S. I might include in a future Tractor Talk video if you don't mind?
WoW Mitch !!! That would be so cool to be featured on "Good Works Tractors". You better go for that.
Thanks 👍 Courtney I am glad you like it😁 I could not justify buying one so I made one. Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment I appreciate it. That would be Great to include this in a future Tractor Talk video that would be awesome😁👍🚜💨💡
@@tractortalkwithgary1271 Congratulations Gary on hitting the 1K mark 😁👍
Now you’re just showing off Mitch. 😁 Another awesome build!
Thanks🤣👍 Adam!!! I am trying to put more welding tips in the videos now. I can’t wait to see a welding video from the Haxman👍 Hopefully your practicing. Thanks for checking out the video. 😁👍🚜💨💡
Excellent design! It’s a good size for your tractor. The hydraulic top link is a big plus when operating the grapple, I wish I had one! Your skill and attention to detail is great. Appreciate you mentioning my channel. The 3 point grapple is still my favorite attachment out of anything I’ve built. Hope yours serves you well! Take care!
Thanks👍 Ben I am happy with how it turned out😁thanks for turning me on to the idea💡I only had a few sticks to play with In the yard can’t wait to get it out on the property and use it. Have a great day 😁👍🚜💨💡
Looking forward to seeing it in the woods. This is definitely one of your best builds.
Thanks 👍 I can’t wait to use it too!!! Playing with the sticks in the back yard was just a teaser!!😂👍🚜💨💡
Great... Now I have to learn how to do metal fab.
Seriously, that is very cool.
Thanks👍 I think metal work is a lot easier than wood working at least for me. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
He'll yeah man!
Thanks 🤣👍 Man😁👍🚜💨💡
I am just in awe of your talent! Mitch, some fabricating shops couldn’t do this type of work. Even if they have the tools they can’t draw it on cardboard then cut it out and make it work in metal. I am so glad I found this channel! #1 Fan!
Thanks Frank 👍 I am happy that you like it. The funny part is I used my wife’s frying pan 🍳 for the curvy parts and it look 👀 right when I put the paper clips in for the joints.😂 I am glad it all turned out. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡
That is fantastic, Mitch! You will get a lot of use out of that up north. Those rear remotes are really coming in handy for you! Great mod! Cheers!
Thanks Mike👍 I have been waiting to do this for a while now. I am gearing up for summer. Thanks for leaving a comment see you on the next one😁👍🚜💨💡
Clever idea, and very well executed! Thanks for showing us the build.
Thanks 😁I appreciate you checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Very cool! I like it!
Thanks Chris👍 and thanks for checking out the video. See you in the wood yard!!!😉👍🚜💨💡
This is amazing. You make the most Mad Max, attachments I've ever seen. Keep it up.
Thanks 👍 I can’t wait to use it this summer. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡
That is a fantastic build. I love the design and the way you made it, it turned out great. It is great to see it in action and I am sure it will be something that gets used all the time
Thanks Joseph 👍 it was a fun project and the cost savings was enough to justify the plasma cutter😂 thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨👍
The claw!! Awsome job Mitch! Your fab skills are amazing!! I know this will inspire me to get out and make something! I love that you are using an older welder and still turning out amazing stuff from you shop! More fab videos soon please! Keep up the hard work! Have a great week!
Thanks Derk👍funny it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Just a whole lot of thinking 🤔 been wanting to do this for a few months now I am glad it is done. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🤣
Great design... this is just what I'm look for.. I don't have your skills so I'll do a Mecano style with a store bought log grapple and chain ... still it's fun to design and build ... really like you video..
Thanks 👍 It was a fun build. I have been thinking 🤔 about doing this for a long while. Just now finally had the time. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡
That is one of the best garage designed and built tools I have ever seen. You engineering mind, attention to detail and skills set a very high bench mark. Nicely done!
Thanks 😁👍 it works pretty well. I am happy with it. I plan on make some modifications to it this winter 🥶 once we finish the shop thanks for checking out the video. Have a great weekend.😁👍🚜💨🍳
Wow Mitch, amazing!!
Thanks James👍 Want to trade your excavator for it!?🤣 thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuff I bet you can move a log faster than I can with the mini ex … even still, I’ll hang onto the mini ex 😂
@@KillingItCountry I think I can make a back hoe for my tractor but it would take forever😂 have a good one
Outdid yourself with this one Mitch...fantastic!!! 👍😎👍
Thanks Chris👍Its going to be tough to find a better project. I will just go through my list. Thanks for leaving a comment and checking out the video😁👍
This is an OUTSTANDING Rear Log Grapple that you have make Sir 😇😇👍👍👌👌✨✨🚀🚀🍻🍻
Thanks Dave 😁 I hope to make more things like this in the future. Have a great week😁👍🚜💨👍
Way cool Mitch! Way cool.
Thanks Gary 👍 I still have lots of ideas for the boom but this is a good starting point😂 thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
Ooh mitch the artist 🎨 my drawing woule have looked like something not a tractor, nice mac youve got there. Great video that grapple looks like will work well, from watching videos they look hard to use but practice makes perfect! 😀
Thanks Pete👍 I think I am going to move things around for the controls just to much to think 🤔 about when driving😂 thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡
Wow Mitch, you are incredible at this stuff. Time to open up your own attachments division. Simply amazing!!!!
Thanks Dave👍I wish I could maybe in the future but not setup for it yet. Still have to keep my day Job🙄. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍
Unbelievable build Mitch, you have some really good talent. Your work looks OEM.
Thanks👍 Each build I try something new or different. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
You are just like my brother the wheels are always turning can fabricate anything awesome
Thanks 👍 it’s gift and a curse😂 thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuff it most definitely is a Giff. And I agree with it being a curse LOL my poor brother's always building me stuff🤣
@@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb6513 🤣👍
That is so awesome Mitch! You really build some cool stuff!
Thanks Justin you make some cool stuff too. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨🐓
Good Job !!
Thanks 👍 I am just happy it works😂👍🚜💨💡
Great job, there is nothing more rewarding and satisfying than manufacturing your own successful products 👍
Thanks 👍 Yep I love it when a plan comes together 😁👍Thanks for checking out the video 🚜💡💨
wow, very impressive, nice job
Thanks 👍 this was a fun build it still had me thinking 🤔 how it goes back together even after I painted it🤣thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
Great job! Awesome fabricating and workmanship! Keep us updated how it works in the woods!
Thanks 👍 I can’t wait for summer to try it out😁thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡
That came out great Mitch. I was inspired by Ben’s video as well. Maybe this spring I’ll build mine. Great job
Thanks 👍 That is going to be awesome I can’t wait to check it out. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
Hello from Minnesota! Nice work!
Thanks Ricky👍I think I am happy with it😁👍
pretty slick. nice work
Thanks 👍 This was a fun build. Thanks for stoping by and leaving a comment!😁👍🚜💨💡
Now that I'm subscribed to 50+ channels, UA-cam isn't always showing me new content. I'm a little behind but HAD TO watch this one. Great build! It looks great, works great, and featured some really neat fabrication. Fantastic!
Thanks Logan 👍 If you think 🤔 I did a good job then I did something right 😂 IBCing you on the next one 🤣👍
That thing is SO BAD ASS!! And the grapple you made too! New sub. Thanks for what you're doing!
Thanks 👍We got more projects coming😁 winter time is project time. Just finishing up the pole barn. Thanks for checking out the video and subscribing 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Nice build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Sweet!!!!😁👍Thank you I appreciate that. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Love the removable hose clamp idea.
Thanks 😁 it can be used for other projects. Have a great week 😁👍🚜💨🍳
I will take one in Kubota orange with black trim thank you🤣🤣 that is Simply Amazing nice
Thanks 👍 wish I had time to make a bunch of these they are way over priced online and I could make some extra cash for other projects😁👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuff if I had that talent I would quit my day job
@@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb6513 That’s the plan for me 🤣👍
@@MJADoingStuff I'm still trying to figure it out tired of working for the man LOL
@@MJADoingStuff only two more years come October until retirement...
👍👍👍 anther amazing project, really enjoyed the way it was all edited together 🧐 excellent and the music really set it off 😃🚜❄️
Thanks👍Dana!! I can't wait for winter to be over so I can use it. Thanks for checking out the video.Stay warm up there.😁👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuff thanks just got back from Florida and I can’t wait for summer too! Ready for warm projects and camping
Very cool Mitch. Turned out awesome.
Thanks Jason👍 I can't wait to take it to the property 😁👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuff darn this winter
That's awesome man.
Thanks 😁👍Happy New year!!!
Nice work! You do an excellent job with your templates!
Thanks Bob😁 I am trying different things till I get a CNC plasma table. Thanks for checking out the video.😁👍🚜💨🍳
Fantastic. Subscribed!
Thank you very much 😁👍I appreciate your sub. You made my day. 😁👍🚜💨👍
Super cool Work.
Thanks Tomas 😁 I appreciate the kind words. Have a great day 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Fantastic design and build.
Thank you 👍 it wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be.😁 thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
Mitch! That is a thing of beauty! Absolutely amazing. Now pick up an egg with it!!! If you had one of the claws just a bit longer than the other I think that might allow you to drag the shorter one over the log to rotate the assembly, making grabbing logs a bit easier. Stunning results.
Thanks Ross👍 I tried to make it heavy on one side but adding the hose changed that😂The good news is it would not take me long to change out the claw thanks for checking out the video Canadian Cuz!!😁👍🚜💨💡
YES ROSS!!! Grapple egg challenge!!!
This guy is amazing. This would be handy on my property.
Thanks Larry 👍I appreciate you checking out the video and leaving a comment. I can’t wait for spring to take it to the property 😁👍🚜💨💡
Wow that's awesome 👌
Thanks Bradley😁I enjoyed making it. I appreciate you leaving a comment. Have a good day 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Next level, Man! I am blown away! Remember me when you reach 1M subs!
Thanks Lucas👍 First let's just get to 1K🤣 Thanks for the support man!!!😁👍🚜💨💡
Very good job!
Thank you 😁 👍 have a great week 🚜💨🍳
So cool! What a back saver! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and the process. I am just getting into welding and fabrication and am learning a lot from your vids! Btw I am a musician and your son is doing a great job rockin the tunes!🤠👍
Thanks Robert😁metal fabrication opens up a whole new skill set. Me and my son are self taught. He loves music I love making and fixing stuff. Thanks for watching and Have a great week😁👍🚜💨🍳
Great design and build
Thanks 😁👍 I appreciate you leaving a comment have a great week 🚜💨🍳
Great work!!! Subscribed
Thanks for the Sub heading over to check out what you got going on.😁👍🚜💨☀️
Awseome job here Mitch! I really do love fabrication videos. I dont think anything could have been done better on the build and you hit a home run with this one. Very well thought out stuff here! Maybe when you put the new pole barn up you can get a side business going selling quality usa made implements. I could see a CNC plasma table in your future too!
Thanks Richie 👍 you read my mind one day I will get a plasma table and start making stuff on the side😁👍 I can’t wait to get out of the concrete truck. Thanks for the support have a great weekend😁👍🚜💨💡
Great job buddy !
Thank you for checking it out 😁👍🚜💨💡
What a great job
Thanks 😁 one day I hope I can sell these for compact tractor owners. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Bravo Sir, excellent vdeo, your brilliance shines through !
Thanks 👍 I appreciate you checking out the video and thanks for the kind words have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨💡
Nice work! Your welds look great.
@@DB-so2he Thanks 😁 UA-cam fans are pretty tough on a guy😂 I appreciate your kind words. Have a great 4th of July 🚜💨☀️
Nice work, Mitch! You're a crazy good fabricator!
Thanks David 👍 Have you been welding anything lately? Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
No nothing yet, Mitch. I have the welder but still need a lot of the gear. Maybe I'll get more for Valentine's Day. LOL
Nice!
Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️
You are one talented human bro!👍🏻☮✌🏻
Thanks 😁 I appreciate the kind words. Have a great day!!!😁👍🚜💨🍳
Nice work. Most people have no idea how messy and extremely time consuming metal fab is. And to make the finished product looks legit is a whole other level.
Thanks 😁 your right it is messy and takes a lot of time but not many what to watch the whole process. Thanks for checking out the video. Have a great week.😁👍🚜💨🍳
How's she goin'? This is one fine looking grapple!!! It sure doesn't look 'backyard' made. Very professional Mitch. A very nice job and well made and it sure looks rugged which is what you want for a grapple eh!!! Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Thanks Mike 👍 I am glad it is done. I had fun trying to figure this one out from pictures😂. Thanks for checking out the video Have a good one 😁👍🚜💨💡
Awesome work Mitch, you're one heck of a fabricator. I think the log grapple will work great for ya. Wish we weren't 2500 miles apart. It would be fun to work together on projects and do some colab videos. Keep up the awesome work buddy. Your almost to 1000 subs. Take care and stay safe. 👋
Thanks Kyle👍Yep it would be fun to work on stuff and do collaboration video’s you sure got the shop for it. Maybe 🤔 one day we will head your way in the camper 😂 I have family in California so that is something we can plan in the future. Thanks for checking out the video and keep doing stuff😁👍🚜💨💡
Wow you are good I been doing fab for years I love your grapple
Thanks 👍 I should have showed the frying pan I used to make the stencil😂 thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment😁👍🚜💨💡
Nice job.
Thank you 😁👍🚜💨🍳
That is cool! Like a mini skidder.
Yep exactly!!!😁👍plus now I have a check valve so I can lift and buck logs 🪵 thanks for checking out the video Jason and glad to see you are back in action!!!🚜💨🍳
Slowly getting back to it, working on a few more videos at the moment. Always enjoy your content!@@MJADoingStuff
That’s an AMAZING BUILD Mitch, you’re a talented fabricator like Ben at K&H 👍🏻, are the part numbers for ordering MJA001F and MJA002R for the front and rear grapples 😉👍🏻👍🏻. Great job 👍🏻, both new additions will be useful for your property 👍🏻👍🏻. Have a great week Mitch 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Thanks Luc👍You’re order for MJA00-1F and MJA00-2R has been received and you will receive a E-mail with a tracking number as soon as it ships. Thank you for your order!!!😂I am ready for spring now anytime. Have a great week too.😁👍🚜💨💡🙋🏻♂️
@@MJADoingStuff 😳😳😂😂👍🏻
You are one heck of a fabricator
Thank you I enjoy making stuff it’s like when you mow the grass and look 👀 back at the fresh cut lawn kinda feels like that 👍thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
good job young man
Thank you!!! I appreciate you checking out the video.😁👍🚜💨🍳
So you can plasma those tight circles you were trying at the start if you take a nail, divot (by eye, no bother with perfection) the center of the curve and hold the nail between your index and middle finger and the handle (as you would normally). Put the nail in the divot, and adjust the hold so that the plasma tip is over the cut and rotate using the nail as the center. A big nail works best and you can bend the tip at 90 to help you hold it better.
That sounds like it would be something that I would try out but have to practice. Thanks sharing your experience. Have a great Friday and weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
You can use MDF to make the templates. Scroll saw + 5 mm MDF, cut the inside template, where you run your plasma on the inside. Using the scroll will naturally result in better cut and MDF is easily sanded by hand. When you use it, you use small feet made from bits of MDF offcuts that you super glue along the way. If you don't have a scroll saw, all you need is a box cutter with a good blade tip. Score the MDF on both sides and you can pop the thing out in a few cuts. If you score it, it will leave a good edge on the faces with a little fuzz in the center which is easily sanded away (by hand).
In the video I used plywood that was to thick but it was free so I made it work. I will try the MDF thanks for the tip. 😁👍🚜💨🍳
nice work i like it
Thanks 😁 have a great week 😁👍🚜💨🍳
brillant!
Thanks 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Sweet fab skills Mitch, I think we could get in trouble if we got together. 👍🏝🍻🌴😂
Thanks 👍 sounds like we would have fun even if we got in trouble! Have a great week 😁👍🚜💨💡
Talented design and professional build. Could be an income source for you.
Thanks 😁👍hopefully one day it will be. Thanks for checking out the video.🚜💨🍳
Nice build, 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks 👍 I appreciate you checking out the video Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨💡
Nice job master fabber 😳👍🏆🏆👴
Thanks 😁 I appreciate you checking out the video. Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Wicked lil build dude. Names also Mitch hehe, btw man when you drag heavy logs around like trailers you're "skidding" them. Figured you made the legit logging claw you gotta sound equally badass lol. Have a good one boss 👍
Thanks 😁👍 yeah you are right I gotta get with the lingo😂 thanks for checking out the video have a great week🚜💨🍳
It was nice meeting you guys today. At the Firewood Frenzy
It was nice meeting you too. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨🍳
@@MJADoingStuff it was one of the first things I did when I got home.
Your a great fabricator, nice work! That’s gonna be well worth the time and work spent to build it!
Thanks Mike 👍 Your a awesome fabricator too I can’t wait to see your big shop and what you build in it. 😁👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuffthanks buddy! I can tell you it can’t come soon enough! I’m so tired of working in that tiny shed it’s amazing I’v built/repaired even half the stuff I have in that tiny shed.. I’m at the point now where I don’t even wanna be out there anymore tripping over stuff lol.
@@BiffsEquipment What size are you going to build if you don’t mind me asking?
@@MJADoingStuff well since I only wanna build it once I plan to build it as large as I possibly can but it all depends on the money I have to work with when the time comes.. something like a 25x30.. I want 14’ high ceilings for sure as I plan to eventually install a 2 post rotary lift to work on my cummins pickup and friends vehicles.. but want enough space so I can keep my tractor and other various projects on the other side. I also plan to eventually have a full fabricating section, along with a parts washer, sand blast cabinet, and a nice big drill press too like you have eventually. I only have a tiny cheap press right now because that’s all I had room for, I’d have a lot more tools right now if I had the room for them but I can’t squeeze anything more in my small shed with out making my head explode lol.
Also I have to stay under 30x30 ish because of the way my property line is up front.. I Belive I gotta stay at least 5’ off the line. I plan on using my 80,000BTU heater that’s on my shed to heat it and I’m gonna do all the electrical/plumbing, and concrete floor wirh a buddy of mine
Awesome project and the articulation is perfect for grabing trees on an uneven incline. How much does this implement weigh? You could easily mount a winch back on the frame and use pulley guides out to the boom end. Mount a fixed on the 3point frame that can anchor the tractor to use as a timber winch.
Thanks 👍 you read my mind 😂 I had to stop because it would make for to long of a video🤣 If I guessed it is 100 to 110pounds. The boom is about 80pounds. Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment 😁👍🚜💨💡
WOW !!!!!!!!
Thanks 👍 I think 🤔 🤣👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuff You have out done yourself 😁
Freakin awesome! Maybe add a curved plate on the lower 3pl brace to lift the log up against. Love it
Great Idea😁 I will be making some changes this winter. I hope you come back to check it out. Have a great week😁👍🚜💨
I will, came here after your interview with Chris from In The Woodyard
Great work, Mitch! Once again you did a great job designing and building the grapple! I like the two-tone paint job. BTW, your son is a talented musician! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks 👍 Now you know why I talk so loud😂 He has a lot of Instruments🎸 🥁🎹Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
Nice! Adding a rope from each side of the ROPS to the grapple - maybe with retractors so it doesn't tangle - could make it easy to rotate the grapple to get longs end-on.
Great idea 😁👍 I love easy fixes. Thanks for your input all ideas are welcome on this channel. Have a great day 🚜💨🍳
Just subscribe to your channel That's exciting video That's quite the machine you built Very nice I like that Stay safe and have a good day
Thanks 😁 I appreciate you watching the video you stay safe too. 😁👍🚜💨🍳
That’s cool. I weld some but I don’t have all the right equipment for a project like that. Tks
Thanks 👍 We are hoping to change that in the future. If everything goes right one day we can sell you all the cut parts and you can weld them yourself 😁👍 thanks for checking out the video 🚜💨🍳
That's a proper Hobart there.
Made in Ohio I suspect.
ITW bought them out in 1995 and ever sense then they have been made on the Miller assembly line in Appleton, WI.
Good to know 😁👍 I am not sure how old it is but it’s the transformer type so pretty solid. I bought it around 1995 at a garage sale. I have been very happy with the welder. And so far I like their plasma cutter too. Thanks for checking out the video. have a good week😁👍🚜💨🍳
Nice! I'd like to see the actual grapple build.
Thanks 😁👍Check out the 2nd half of the video that is when I show how I built it. 🚜💨🍳
Awesome project and the articulation is perfect for grabing trees on an uneven incline. How much does this implement weigh?
Thanks 👍About 110 pounds 😁👍🚜💨💡
That’s an impressive build. I was planning on putting an old fashioned log grapple on a rear boom in order to drag logs. My son said we should build one like yours!
Do you have any plans or drawings for the grapple part? The geometry of grapple looks complex. And what size hydraulic cylinder did you use etc.
Would you sell measured drawings or templates?
Sorry I am not to good at computer stuff😂 but what I did was took a 14"inch frying pan and used it for the curves than took measurements from the hydraulic cylinder I got @ Northern Hydraulics. I purchased the cross tube 1.5 bore X 06" inch stroke and on the website it has a diagram on the dimensions. Then I took some poster board made my drawings and cut it out. Using paper clips for the joints to see how it would work and made adjustments from there. I am thinking of making another more detailed video on just the grapple part because there seems to be some interest. Have a great week😁👍🚜💨💡
Pretty nice build. Would be nice if the whole thing was painted Kubota orange.
Thanks 😁👍 I would but that Kubota orange is expensive😂and I tried the cheap stuff but it fades fast. Thanks for checking out the video.😁👍🚜💨🍳
Nice job mitch, can you tell me where you buy your swivel ball joint?
Thanks Alexandre 😁 unfortunately they were leftover from a project I did over 20 years ago and the company no longer exist. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨☀
Nice build Mr.Mitch , l would just "SCRAP" those "quicky-hitcheys" that make less than a "positive-lock-up". If you can make a log-grapple, you can certainly make your OWN adjustable lower link-ends. This would be WAY better than relying on some "sloppy-wobbley-shifty "after-market "miracle wonder " after-market "slapped on" 3point implement connectors. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Thanks 😁👍 it is on the to do list thanks for checking out the video and have a great week😁👍🚜💨🍳
Nice build!
What plasma cutter do you use ?
Thanks 😁👍 I went with the Hobart AirForce 40i Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
Nice build! Where did you get the ball joints?
Thanks 😁Well I have had those sitting on the shelf for 15 years and now the company is no longer open. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳
👍🏼
Thanks😁Happy Easter!!!🚜💨☀
Did you also make the front forks grapple? This is awesome
Yes I did and I will be making a root grapple in the future too. Once I get some time Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️
Do you have plans? As well what was the thickness of steel that you used?
I did a video on the dimensions but your right I forgot the thickness😁 it is 1/4 inch Hardox plate. No I don’t have plans sorry😁👍🚜💨💡
That's awesome work. Good job!! Would you be willing to share the dimensions of the grapple pieces?
Thanks 👍 yep I will have to make another video just on the grapple in more detail because a few people have been asking the same question. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
@@MJADoingStuff awesome. Thanks so much!!
Great stuff man, keep up the good work. Perhaps you could sell/share the drawings for others to try to make it. :)Thank you.
Greetings from Herzegovina,
Thanks 👍 There has been a lot of interest in the log grapple part so I will be making another video on just the claw in detail soon I am not great at computer stuff so it will be more hands type of explanation😁 thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡
