It shows real struggles lifting oversized, waterlogged logs, some rolling and repositioning attempts, and lighthearted commentary, but little technical detail or numbers. Best suited to viewers wanting a real-world grapple-in-use vlog rather than a structured review or spec breakdown.
Posted by the Tractorman44 channel, apparently a personal/family vlog following someone using their own MX5400, not a dealer or review channel.
Not always. The video shows the MX5400 unable to lift logs estimated at over 2,000 pounds, even after cutting one down to 9.5 feet, which still weighed about 11 tons.
No, according to this video. Logs left dead for close to three years were still solid with a lot of moisture, disproving the idea that aged deadfall is ready to split and burn.
The operator tried scooting the log, rolling it up onto the trailer, or loading it from the rear of the trailer when the grapple could not lift it directly.
