New tool, a grapple

I got my grapple, I had to have the hydraulics modified and a valve put in plus a universal quick hitch put on the tractor. Plus that meant I had to get a new bucket. But I can change from a bucket to the grapple in a few minutes.

The levers lock the bucket or grapple in place.

A grapple has a hydrolic top,arm that grabs things. The rake on the bottom lets dirt fall through. I will use it for picking up logs, brush, and what ever.

This shows it better.

It has been a big back saver and time saver, plus I can do things I could not do before. Yes if you have a need for one you want one.
