    Grapple, grapple saw, hydraulic connections?

    Can you get a pullout extension for that crane? You should have an angled pullout extension, especially since the crane has no fly-jib. If you need a Mecanil grapplesaw from someone that will actually support you, give me a call.

    404 harvester chain. I sell the bars and chains, and parts for the grapplesaws.

    SG280 cuts fine but the 160 doesn't? Did you try adjusting the bar speed valve?

    That chart is showing the boom straight out horizontal... the jib is rated for much more than that. Attached is a PM 100 load diagram, same as @CanaryBoss's boom configuration I believe. *edit* Just checked out the operators manual, looks like the jib hook point is rated for 11,000 lbs

    There will be one on a 1355 soon as well... I'll be making a nice video on that one.

    I would suggest checking out Chad's knuckleboom in person and talk with him (someone that actually works around the same types of trees as you and actually runs it, and has a stick boom to compare)
