The owner walks through why he chose a two-tine grapple over a root grapple, then uses the loader to sort, cull crotch pieces, and stack log loads to reclaim space. Useful for buyers weighing grapple styles for firewood work, but skips pricing, install, or detailed loader specs.
An owner-operator documenting real firewood work on his own property, with a clear personal preference for his grapple choice rather than a neutral comparison.
He wanted to pick up uneven pieces, chunks, or multiple small logs at once. Root grapples work better for pushing brush but let stuff fall through, unlike the two-tine design.
The owner says the job took maybe 30 minutes to an hour, and would be shorter if he wasn't stopping to run the chainsaw.
Crotches and crooked pieces are not stackable, so he cuts them off and piles them separately in the burn pit to make clean, stackable logs.
