He measures jaw width (42 inches) and opening width (about 28.75 inches), notes ballast issues, and openly shares mistakes. Best for owners considering this specific grapple or curious about a raw, unedited learning process rather than a polished demo.
An owner-operator documenting his own tractor and woodlot work, learning the grapple in real time rather than presenting expert or dealer knowledge.
The owner measured it at almost twenty-eight and three-quarters inches, not very wide, but he says it still does the job well.
The inside jaw width measurement is forty-two inches, meaning anything smaller than that can be lifted, though the tractor may not lift the largest pieces.
The owner found that when the third function was hooked up, one hose was never plugged in at the other end, so the grapple stayed closed until he connected it.
Yes, the owner says the tractor had no problem lifting a heavy hollow log but he needed more weight on the back, estimating another five hundred pounds.
