What's with the mirrored image?

My phone shot it upside down. I had to rotate it with software.

Was thinking about it today, why don't you dump the bag inside the grapple truck rather than dump it then have the grapple pick it up? saves one step.

We tried it. It is safer and more efficient to dump on the ground vs standing in the back of the haul truck. It's only a matter of seconds saved, if that. Really not worth it in the end.

It would probably add a lot more time for me but you guys seem pretty efficient with that grapple.

Either way you go about it you have to climb up the ladder. So, sit in the seat and rotate the grapple to the ground and pick the grindings up, or climb into the back of the truck with logs and brush in it?

Also, we put the grindings with the brush which is mainly toward the front of the truck. Why would one climb to the far side of a mostly full 67 yard haul truck to open a full bag of grindings, when you can dump it on the ground and pick it up in a matter of seconds?
