Read articles →An owner-operator working through a real brush-clearing job on his farm, using an L3560 with a basic grapple to haul cut pine to a burn pit. Shows actual technique, grabbing loads, dragging backward, raking with the grapple tines, plus brief mentions of cruise control, turtle/rabbit mode, and a cold-start at 15°F. Best for L3560 owners curious how a budget grapple handles heavy brush in practical farm use.
Posted by the Gary Allen channel, appearing to be a private owner sharing hands-on footage from his own property with no apparent commercial affiliation.
The owner says he got more clamped than he expected, calling it a cheap grapple that still handled a big tree load well when dragged backward to the burn pile.
Going backward gives better judgment of where everything is, so you are not running over material or pulling it out of the clamp.
It is a limited tractor, so he added a cruise control button himself using existing wiring, costing about 60 dollars plus the component.
A dash switch pulls up to shift between turtle and rabbit, which set the travel speed range for the tractor.
