It's a casual, conversational work session rather than a spec-driven review, best for owners curious whether a compact tractor grapple can realistically handle big timber without a skid steer.

Yes. Neil says he was impressed and did not think the tractor could grab the logs tightly, comparing it to skid loader work, though it could not lift the biggest log to full height.
The destination path ran through the owner's yard, and a skid steer would have destroyed it, so the compact tractor grapple was used instead.
The 200C has a quarter inch wide chain that may pinch easier, while the 220 uses the same battery but has a wider chain, possibly 3/8 or 5/16 inch.
The chain brake is critically important since the saw is just a click away from running, and you must stop periodically to refill chain oil.
