It covers grapple dimensions and weight tradeoffs (68 inches, 600 lbs vs. the heavier extreme-duty model), loader capacity math, third-function hydraulic setup, and a practical comparison against pallet forks. Best for CK3510 owners weighing their first grapple purchase.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own property, though the grapple was provided as a demo unit by the manufacturer, which gives the video a light sponsored tone.
The heavy-duty one weighs 600 pounds versus 800 for the extreme-duty, and the CK3510 only lifts 1800 pounds, so the lighter grapple leaves more usable lift capacity for firewood work.
Yes, the grapple lets you clamp and secure a load, grab a log on either side instead of needing it centered, and pull a log by its end without chaining it.
No, the heavy-duty version does not have grease fittings, but the extreme-duty version does include grease fittings.
A third function hydraulic valve installed from the factory is needed, which was set up in anticipation of adding a grapple later.
