Here is the Lund Grapple mounted on our Terex loader. It has a standard Bobcat toolbar mounting. |
|
For sure it will pick up logs. Mary is biting into a Hickory 16'dia x 16' long. |
|
But it will also bite into other things. Here I'm pulling an old cedar stump about 10' dia. No problem but I would try this on a hickory. |
|
Erik Lund said you could pull small trees with the grapple. The first I tried it on was a cedar about as big as my forearm and at least 10' tall. I just smashed down on it and clamped. I found I didn't really have to pull, I just retroacted the boom and it ripped right out. |
|
I found I could pull clumps of cedars out with one bite. Just yawn the jaws open and set it on ground level. Clamp it closed and retract the boom. |
|
Before the fun could begin, we had to get a couple of Bobcat standard coupliers (background) and get a flow control valve installed. Shouldn't have to have the flow control valve but the Terex auxiliary hydraulic line had an open center valve. |
| I've also pulled steel fence post, gate post that were nearly 4' in the ground. We've found it real handy to pick up butted off chunks and other items to odd shape to fork up or get into a bucket. | |
