The presenter explains grease points, the locking pin, and the key requirement of needing third-function hydraulics, then shows it grabbing brush and logs around his land. Short and practical, best for owners already running AP-12F forks who are weighing whether the grapple attachment is worth adding.

You need the AP-12F pallet forks already installed and hydraulic third functions routed out to the front of the tractor, which the presenter calls the crux of being able to use it.
There are grease points on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder and at the pivot, and a pin can lock the grapple in place so it does not drift over time.
The presenter uses it to clamp logs for his wood mill and to pick up brush like fallen oak limbs and fir tree limbs, hauling them to a burn pile.
