Grapple - anybody have an Avant's grapple?

[Treetopflyer]

I demoed a 423 years ago
I’m going to demo one out again
Also looking at the giant sk252d stand on for tight jobsites and light duty stuff
I have feeling we may stay green cause we love the 528 a lot but there’s somthing to be said for a mini stand on unit being great on certain sites
I’ve always had dw minis with tracks the giant is wheeled unit and maybe slightly more turf friendly as well because that and it’s so light
Avant is super turf friendly with the wide turf tires

I will die in the BMG camp.

A guy said he welded a weight on one BMG tine to get it to hang slightly lower than the other tine for better adjusting the grapple for the grab.

Interesting, I boxed the skinny tine after I tweaked one and received a replacement. They seem to hang even, tho I do understand why you would want one hanging lower. But I feel like a cowboy sometimes when I lasso a grapple load from an off angle. That quick little wobble of the mini as you extend the curl immediately followed by your hand reaching the close grapple lever. Oh it’s gratifying! Giddy up cowboy yeehaw!

I hear that.
