This is going to be good, really good, when that burn pit get's lit up. No ash piles to push your equipment through or watch you disappear in ash smoke, no clogged up air filters, it's just a wonderful way of getting the waste wood to disappear! As for the controls being backwards to what you are used to, I'd call up the supplier and ask for the boss and tell him to send a technician to fix it or send a truck to pick it up. It definatly should be adjusted to your specifications and done quickly! I'm surprised AMI couldn't have made the grapple attachment for you as they seem pretty responsive to your requests. Can't hardly wait for tomorrow's video. Thanks Chris.
Little tip from someone who'se been using sorting grabs for years, if you want a big grab full, open it up, face away from you and push one side of the grab just under a pile, push in till it seems full and sort of roll the grab over the pile. You'll be surprised how much more you grab that way
That rotating grapple is going to come in pretty handy on a lot of the jobs you do. It’s really going to be good for laying drainage pipe. It’s not going to be able to pick up as much brush when you are stacking burn piles. You will be able to control how you stack them better though.
Prayers coming your way for your eye. Chris, thanks for another great video. Take care and best wishes. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
That is another great tool to the Earth Artists arsenal of equipment. That unit will only complement the work he does in a very big way. Good looking unit and looking forward to you using it with your new earth paint brush. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Well, as my momma used to say, "That thing is as handy as a pocket on a shirt." Nice addition to the tool bag. The new machine can definitely dig a hole as well. Good balance on bucket size and machine strength.
While it would be costly, I think you would find a tilt rotator so handy on that machine. You could get the integrated oil quick couplers top and bottom and be able to swap everything from the cab and even drop the rotator off and pick up a normal digging bucket all without messing with hoses.
It’s so much nicer for build piles of material, being able to index the slash in the same direction and for burn piles you can tepee everything allowing your piles to burn cleaner. It just reduces the amount of time spent handling brush, over the length of you job! Great pick up!
Firstly Chris, all the best for your eye, hope it’s not a serious issue. Congrats on adding a rotating grapple to your stable, with all the clearing you’ve been doing it should make things easier. Hopefully someone from Volvo will turn up soon to sort out the settings on the new 220. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Hay Chris. I really enjoy ur channel. So happy for you as u grow ur business and are able to add new equipment to ur fleet. One thing I really like is how clean ur equipment is and even the old machines are looking good. Keep on digging brother Dave
Congrats on the new grapple. With all the dirt, smoke and ash you deal with I'm surprised you haven't had eye issues before. Hope your eyes are well. 👀
Did someone talk to their accountant about write offs and depreciation schedules for tax planning??? Love it when uncle sugar pays for a large chunk of your purchases. End of year planning is great.
I tend to agree with you that the toggles are backwards. In my mind if I move the spin toggle to the left it should rotate left or clockwise. Same with the graffle, move to the left, it should close. How it is set up just seem backwards. Then again, it maybe just me and I am backwards. Graffle will definitely be a valuable tool in the arsenal. Thank for sharing.
Great little grapple you got there, that's going to make demoing those single/double wides & old farm house's a hell of alot better for sorting material, bucket and progressive thumb is an awesome attachment also, but now it's got a little competition for demo, again nice attachment & best of luck w/ it!👊💪
I’m ready to watch it burn Chris, I enjoy watching you burn all the tree debris! It always amazes me how the ashes stay red hot for as long as they do, that’s amazing to me to see how easy you just start a fire after several days! It’s looking good brother and thanks for sharing Chris, I like the new grapple brother! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The grapple will say it's going to work good for these kind of projects once you get it figured out looks like you can grab more brush with your bucket and your thumb then you can in that new attachment
That grapple sure makes that work a lot easier. Nice that you got the window tint done, looks more like it's your machine!🤣 I hope your eye is better, I am assuming so since you didn't mention it again and you weren't wearing sunglasses (which you would need to even with window tint). Looking forward to the burning, those piles are going to look spectacular. Thanks, Chris. Be well.
Another tool used by a professional to showcase his skills. It is a time saver, now you can lay brush and logs just like you said. Update on the root rake for the D6 (please).
First - trust your eye is better LetsDig18 - vision loss of any type is tough. Hope the rotating grapple meets your expectations - seems a handy attachment to have.
Actually the first time I have ever seen one of these in operation. I have heard of them but as I said before have never seen one. Quite handy in that application. Pretty cool looking also. Congrats on getting the new excavator also. Sorry about the eye issue. Hope everything is alright. Be safe out there.
Chris on your display should find settings for control speed and pressures there you should be able to dial your personal level of control hope it helps
Really nice grabber..i work in the recycling in the netherlands on the truck and excavator ,a wheeled one instead of a tracked one, but we use a dehaco sorting grabber..almost the same configuration as your grabber but then a semi closed one..nice job you are doing💪💪and great equipment..
@Michael dirkx: Have you ever seen an excavator with even a fixed thumb here in the Netherlands? Even ears for the cylinder on the stick seem rare (around Amsterdam).
GAME CHANGER !!! Congrats and may the force be with you. Just imagine how much it will lengthen the life of you undercarriage not having to scoot around !!!
on camera the grapple appears to respond pretty quickly and the compact size is something else. Not sure I'd like that roller control switch my choice would be a rocker switch, easier. 👍
Nice new addition to the fleet Chris. Hope your eye is ok! Let us know how much rain you got from the storm. We got almost 4 inches here in Central PA on Friday.
I think that rotating grapple would be great for house demolition in tight areas like Jersey City and the surrounding areas. I've been in plenty of spaces where that would have come in handy.
@@cathiwim , believe me, there's many houses, buildings and complete neighborhoods that need to be torn down in Jersey City and the surrounding areas. The trick is not to get robbed or mugged while you're there.
Glad you could have a new tool. It does look to me like the bucket & ram to open/close it is not lined up well with the boom. That's odd. Maybe it's just me. I sure like the way you use your equipment. Very smooth!
Digging the long pit and then having the ability to stack the logs quickly without having to bust them up will save a world of time in the burning process. Looks like the ticket for shaking the dirt off the stumps faster too. That's always a n aggravation at the end having partially burned stumps because there was too much dirt clinging to them still
Also can be used for demo jobs but the demolition roto grabs are cool too seen the use to dig holes, logging recycling and waste plants and demolition of course lol 😅
Hope your eye is ok, a few years ago my sister lost sight in one eye while having a migraine with less headache pain than normal. As the doc said typical 'blinding headache'. Vision returned to normal after a day and hasn't happened again .
It's funny in a good way when you can tell a thumb operator is changing to a rotating grapple, especially when he dumps a load of brush and uses a rotating grapple to rotate the timber into its place like you would if you only had a thumb.
Time stamp 23:10 is an example of my 1st message. It's good to see a well deserving owner/operator add and upgrade his equipment and skill set. Congratulations on all your success Chris, please keep the videos coming.
I like it Chris and there’s probably a lot of different jobs you can use it for, pretty cool brother! It’s nice with the quick coupler too! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤙🏻 That looks fun! lol 😂 Sure with the cost of equipment, the should give you a lot better service brother! Especially with you and Volvo, as much as you advertise for their equipment! 🤷🏼
I suspect he got it for free from the mfg. but it grabs less than half of what he grabs with his bucket and thumb, so the free grapple will end up costing him a lot of time which is money.
@@jeff-hk8yk you were wrong on both parts. Hah ha. He paid for it OBVIOUSLY…or we would have had a serious commercial on it. Also, he was already moving much quicker as he was picking and throwing stumps. once the controls are better adjusted, he reverses a few settings, and he has a few more hours under his belt, his payloads on brush and his times will only get better.
@@ryanhoward1013 not really , a bad operator would have more dirt with bucket and grapple- but the excavator teeth and thumb have a finer combing effect than a 3 tonged grapple where this kind of grapple shines is stacking sawmill logs, laying pipes and stone retaining walls as well as sorting demolition debree, really it hardly makes sense in any way other than what jeff said , else it would probably be a wood harvester cutter head with pull rollers and debranching function for Mr. Letsdig cause he hates chainsaw work on job sites
@@ryanhoward1013 have you watched all his videos - especially ones where he is stacking brush on a burn pile? No dirt mixed in - brush does not have dirt - only stumps have dirt and unavoidable with any attachment. I am a professional land clearing contractor and I speak from 45+ years of experiance . He gets stuff for free because he has a large UA-cam following - don't be naive. .
Damn dude, that's an interesting addition. Wasn't too sure about it until you started pulling out of the pile to the pit, nice. That will reduce aggravation as well I bet. 😀Looking forward to seeing this in action more 💪
Congrats on the new Grapple ! Trying it out - a few Minor Adjustments - You sounded very Happy with it ! One Burn Pit coming up - Filling it with Brush etc ! We got us some Burning to do Tomorrow ! Great Video and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧. This was a smart move. Anything that makes the work more efficient also means that less of the expensive diesel is used. All ways are good, except the boring ones.
I can't tell you how many times I have watched you struggle and thought you need something that turns at the "wrist". Glad for both of us you got it figured out.
Chris, I believe it will save a good bit of time for you. I also believe you love new toys. All the very best good luck to you because you work very had. I hope the eye will be ok. Cheers
The grapple seems to load a bit faster than the bucket and thumb but it also looks like it is only grabbing 25% of the load they do. I don't doubt that it feels more efficient to use the grapple simply because the 2 grapple loads to one bucket and thumb load but I suspect it isn't. No doubt you will be able to make good use of it, just not as much as people would expect.
Excavator is looking awesome Chris,,, and now you can pile logs, and load log trucks too if needed... You're crazy buddy Wade will be calling you next, lol....
Hope your eye is OK - Love watching the big machines at work.

That’s exactly how I use a grapple bucket on our skid

I agree
First one I've seen that doesn't dangle, looks like a solid improvement.
I love how quiet that new excavator is and its a beast! dug that hole in no time. That grapple will come in handy.
It’s so much nicer for build piles of material, being able to index the slash in the same direction and for burn piles you can tepee everything allowing your piles to burn cleaner. It just reduces the amount of time spent handling brush, over the length of you job! Great pick up!
All the new equipment and attachments you get definitely keeps me interested.
Nice addition to your equipment. Looked like you filled the pit up little faster with it. Thanks for the great demo, enjoyed. 👍🙏😎🇺🇲
Awesome addition, I was thinking a while back, dang, a grapple would really be useful to your clearing jobs!!
Firstly Chris, all the best for your eye, hope it’s not a serious issue. Congrats on adding a rotating grapple to your stable, with all the clearing you’ve been doing it should make things easier. Hopefully someone from Volvo will turn up soon to sort out the settings on the new 220. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
It’s amazing how much faster the grapple is for moving brush and logs! Your operation will be more efficient!
Hay Chris. I really enjoy ur channel. So happy for you as u grow ur business and are able to add new equipment to ur fleet.
One thing I really like is how clean ur equipment is and even the old machines are looking good.
Keep on digging brother
Dave
You’ll be able to load log trailers so much easier now! That setup is awesome! Congratulations
Congrats on the new grapple. With all the dirt, smoke and ash you deal with I'm surprised you haven't had eye issues before. Hope your eyes are well. 👀
Did someone talk to their accountant about write offs and depreciation schedules for tax planning??? Love it when uncle sugar pays for a large chunk of your purchases. End of year planning is great.
Can’t wait to see this fire, it’s going to be huge. 🇬🇧 fascinating watching the grappler at work in the hands of the master. 🤭
That is very handy for laying concrete pipes, and grappling a tree _before_ it is cut with a chain saw.
That grapple looks like a nice addition. I think it will help speed up the brush burning.
I know that you are going to be putting this to good use. I hope that you're feeling better.
I tend to agree with you that the toggles are backwards. In my mind if I move the spin toggle to the left it should rotate left or clockwise. Same with the graffle, move to the left, it should close. How it is set up just seem backwards. Then again, it maybe just me and I am backwards. Graffle will definitely be a valuable tool in the arsenal. Thank for sharing.
Wow, what fun.👍 Great new accessory there Chris.🤨 Great help with these clearing jobs. 🤔Looking forward to seeing more of it. 😀Be well.😉
New bucket is a winner. Hard to believe a Rep hasn't been to see you for his free advertisement. Take care of yourself Chris.
Best part of the grapple is being able to pinch logs and use them as a grade beam to pile up brush and give a rough grade
He can do that with the bucket and thumb too.
Chris has used the bucket and thumb, with logs, mud mats etc to grade, scrape, push, and shove. This grapple will just add to the fun.
Great little grapple you got there, that's going to make demoing those single/double wides & old farm house's a hell of alot better for sorting material, bucket and progressive thumb is an awesome attachment also, but now it's got a little competition for demo, again nice attachment & best of luck w/ it!👊💪
I’d recommend a 4/3 tine grapple. The wider surface is ideal when you’re cleaning up the smaller “shrapnel”
That grapple looks like a time saver!
I’m ready to watch it burn Chris, I enjoy watching you burn all the tree debris! It always amazes me how the ashes stay red hot for as long as they do, that’s amazing to me to see how easy you just start a fire after several days!

Nice new attachment sir , all the different jobs you take on , your business needs all the right tools !!
The grapple will say it's going to work good for these kind of projects once you get it figured out looks like you can grab more brush with your bucket and your thumb then you can in that new attachment
That looks like it would be good for setting a long run of Pipe if necesssary
Gosh that grapple makes it look so easy, none of that jiggling about with the bucket to get the right angle
that is awesome bud. I've been waiting 6 months for my Rotobec. They said mid january now... Going to be a game changer, for sure. Congrats
Since a lot of these branches are small, seems like using a dozer might be a good choice before a round of work with the grapple. What do you think?
I see it didn’t take ya long to get the glass tinted- looks great- take care
He talked about it in the last video. :)
I see you got the windows tinted. That grapple will be great addition as you get use to it and find more things to do with it
These fires are gonna be HUGE! Don't set Bealy on fire Chris.
Cool looking attachment. Can see you using that on jobs. Going to enjoy this video.
That grapple sure makes that work a lot easier. Nice that you got the window tint done, looks more like it's your machine!🤣 I hope your eye is better, I am assuming so since you didn't mention it again and you weren't wearing sunglasses (which you would need to even with window tint).

filling the burn pit with that grapple really showed its better than bucket with thumb to move logs and brush with less machine movements
Another tool used by a professional to showcase his skills. It is a time saver, now you can lay brush and logs just like you said. Update on the root rake for the D6 (please).
First - trust your eye is better LetsDig18 - vision loss of any type is tough. Hope the rotating grapple meets your expectations - seems a handy attachment to have.
Crisscrossing the logs for fires will be easy now ... 👍👍👍
A lot less dirt comes along with the logs when using the grapple.
Wow the new grapple is definitely very kool, and that 220 is a beast no matter what you got on the stick.
Actually the first time I have ever seen one of these in operation. I have heard of them but as I said before have never seen one. Quite handy in that application. Pretty cool looking also.

🙂👍 NICE! That rotating grapple has a good fit for your work you do. Definitely a good purchase. ENJOY
That's a pretty cool set up you got there Chris! Love it!
I’d say it has plenty of digging power. It appears to no problem digging up a very full scoop on a pretty big bucket!

Why would someone want to tear down anything in Jersey City? Lol(my relatives are from Asbury Park)

When you have a good base machine (x2) the attachments make a lot of sense and broaden the work capabilities. Nice.

you should try designing a massive rake for the excavator for land clearing

I agree Andrew. Less volume, but no dirt. And lost of air space between the logs. Should burn faster.

Very nice grapple, it will make this type of work more efficient for sure.
Beautiful looking machine,
From the outside it looks like you have tinted windows now.
I hope your eyeball is ok😊
Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧. This was a smart move.
Anything that makes the work more efficient also means
that less of the expensive diesel is used.
All ways are good, except the boring ones.
Your having a good year. New excavator and attachments
2:40 FINALLY!!! All those years of losing money to those UFO Catcher games in Japanese arcades will pay off. I must get one of those attachments.
I can't tell you how many times I have watched you struggle and thought you need something that turns at the "wrist". Glad for both of us you got it figured out.
YOU FINALLY GOT ONE, check into the steel rotator, I think you'll like this allot more
The tracks are very quiet on the new machine. The new grapple looks effective.
Chris, I believe it will save a good bit of time for you. I also believe you love new toys. All the very best good luck to you because you work very had. I hope the eye will be ok. Cheers

You are very good at operating that equipment and you do a excellent job for people when you do it keep up the good work
Need some spirals on the pipes to protect them a bit
Hope the eye gets sorted. I have had all sorts of issues inc permanent blindness in one so do what they say.
That grab looks like great fun. Volvo looking like a Transformer now.
I expect Volvo will get the message soon on training.
That looks like a great heavy duty grapple, too bad you didn't get an oilquick coupler so you could swap without dealing with hoses.
Looks like you got window
Tinted looks good and
And be cooler in the heat
Of summer and warm
In the winter
WE call that white clay Hard Pan , hard as rock when it's dry ,like quick sand when it gets saturated with water, it can be some tuff digging.
Excavator is looking awesome Chris,,, and now you can pile logs, and load log trucks too if needed... You're crazy buddy Wade will be calling you next, lol....
Now that we can't see you in the excavator,, it gives an appearance that the machine is alive and running on it's own,,,, kewl...
Sorry to hear about your eye. Hope it gets better soon. And I hope you figure out how to use the grapple too. Take care with Love Sophia.
What do you think is more efficient?
1. Dig a pit. Load the brush into it and burn. Cover it.
2. Burn brush. Dig a pit. Load ashes into it. Cover it.
Tinted windows look sharp
