Never seen a grapple set up like that, definately a new take on it. How do you like it?

@Afitlife1988 It works really well, prevents getting holes in the top of the bale.

why is the end open??

[maceyday]

@passipassi100 If you're talking about the end away from the machine, it's not. There is an extra bale on the end so the machine has something to push against.

@rafathegafa11 This is a video of a different model, but it's the same process: watch?v=A1aFZk_pwDs

@rafathegafa11 It works a lot better as a frontend loader - just because the articulated steering makes the hitch end swing around. But it's nice to have one machine for both uses. It only takes a couple minutes to drop the loader off or reattach it. The three point hitch can stay connected all the time.

@maceyday thanks for the info, never seen one before. Do you use much as a regular tractor? how long would it take to drop the loader and put the three point linkage on?

@rafathegafa11 It is a Versatile 276 Bidirectional.
