The grapple segment is the most practical part: Ed moves sections of a downed pine tree and walks through real handling tips, load balance, RPM management, four-wheel drive, and keeping the load low to prevent tipping. The mowing gets less airtime. Best for B2601 owners curious about grapple technique in everyday land-clearing situations.
An owner-operator channel run by a self-described DIYer managing a 33-acre farm, so expect candid, experience-based impressions rather than a sales or manufacturer perspective.
Make sure whatever you're carrying isn't hanging off one side too much. Keep it as level as possible with even weight distribution.
Keep your RPMs up, use low gear, engage four-wheel drive, and keep your seat belt on while carrying a load.
Keep the load just above the ground without raising it too high, since hitting a hole could throw off the center of gravity and tip the tractor.
