  • That is so cool! I am going to make one of these. You did an awesome job. From the looks it seems like you can pick up some pretty heavy logs. maybe up to 800lbs. I would guess.

  • NICE!

  • Hey you think a 3/4 ton axle standing on its end would do the same thing

  • @Smiler12008 Yes I build the grapple myself . Are you building a log loader?

  • @Euc9 Did you build the grapple too? That's next on my list to do. Nice machine, well done :-)

  • Thank you for watching my video and for the comments
