    How do you add value?

    This is an absolute excellent post! Very well said Treehumper. This is what I always strive to do but never feel I do it right. Congrats to you, for understanding this well enough to apply it as you speak with your customers.

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    Thanks. Not my hand that did it though. I've got a friend that's an ace welder. Here is a few pictures of the unit getting closer to completion. The added control bank gives two options. The ability to free float the grapple rotation for dragging debris, it also adds power rotation when...

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    A better shot of the bed, not pretty but it works well.

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    A loader 95% of the time goes to the job for feeding the chipper or loading wood. We have 2 chip trucks that we can use and the bucket usually hauls the loader. Since we very rarely chip into the bucket I cut the roof off to load wood over the side. It's almost always carrying a load. The chip...

    Major Decision

    Very rarely does it occur that a tree removal needs to run through a committee in my area.

    Major Decision

    I did buy the grapple itself outright, but it wasn't figured in anywhere.

    I had no problem getting 80% of the money from Pnc for my grapple saw truck.

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    Just a few more to give some ideas of what I use. They work great

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    From the bottom of the quick attatch plate, the boom tip is 40" out and 60" high. This is measured when the plate backing is perfectly vertical.

    Not a brush pile in the picture I know, but I hope my point comes across.

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    If you custom build your own boom for the grapple like I have now twice, you can usually get the reach to rotate a pile. If I can't, most of the time as some of the weights lifted I can then rotate the pile and re-grab if necessary. Most all booms I see for sale are far to short.

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    That's who I bought my last grapple and rotator from. They are well priced and have very good service. Caleb1 will still need to have a quick attach boom fabricated to handle the grapple. Keep in mind you will not get free float unless a separate control bank is used. You can use a hydraulic...

    Rotating grapple for skid steer

    I would not be without a rotator. I have them on two articulating loaders. For my market and area it's priceless. I have both set up to free float also for dragging. You really can't go wrong though either way.

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    I guess if your driving over logs and creeks it may not work as good as a track machine. Zero impact is no problem with turf tires. It seems a person must really need to see first hand just how these loaders work. They won't fill every niche of course but are great. Huge misconception on...

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    I'm guessing your bucket is probably 1/4 the size I use 1.5 yd. If you can push it then trust me, a 7500 lb loader will and more, 9/10 times. Unless maybe you need to drive through 3ft snow without plowing through first. The tracks may stay on top better. There can't be traction without weight...
