Thank you for the research! Forks might have been a better choice for those rocks ;)

Idea; Get a board of plywood or other plate marerial, drill two holes from the edge. Use grapple to wiggle rock on the board. Hook up the board and tow-sled the thing out of there. Good luck!

Thanks Derk! Always fun to see what your limits are and how to get something done even if it doesn't go as planned.

I have the very same tractor, B2650 and bought the same grapple as you have 4 days ago. Good job and quite impressive how the tractor and grapple rolled the boulder. Did your grapple come with a kick stand to hold it up when not using it? Mine didn't and was wondering if one can be added.

Thanks for watching. You work love that tractor and implement. Mine did come with the stand. They are tucked on the ends and released with a spring

That thing was huge! What a monster! I used to work at a mine and I drove the big haul trucks. Ours would haul a 70 ton payload. Yep! 70 tons of product. Once while clearing a rock ledge, the excavator operator loaded a mammoth slab of rock into my truck. The excavator was a monster itself. Several of the other guys around videos the whole thing with their cell phones but we have all moved on and lost touch. I don't know if I will ever get to see that video again. It was impressive, to say the least. Thanks for showing this. This was amazing. Full watch and a thumbs up.

Thanks Gary! I hope you weren't in the truck when they dropped that thing in there. I worked for a road crew in my younger days and they would load 10 wheelers and those guys would have hurt backs if they stayed in the truck from getting knocked around.

Thanks Ross. Long way to go but you just tackle what you can.

That made me nervous and it wasn't even my equipment! I love my 0660 Grapple and it's held up without issue. Next time you might consider jack -hammering into more than one rock.

Yeah that was an overreach for sure. What you are saying is that I need to add a jack hammer to my wish list now? 😅

I don’t know how I missed this video 😏, great job Dave 👍🏻, rolling it was the perfect solution 👍🏻. So, did you have to move it after your wife came back from her walk 😉😂. Have a great one 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

She's only seen it from a distance away so she thinks it "looks ok". It's far from over I think. 🤣

I have the same grapple with no complaints. Some of the complaints I've seen were pure misuse and abuse.

Try picking up some a bit smaller. Getting an idea as to how big of rock your tractor setup will move confidently.

Hi Jeff, I've picked up plenty and this was probably a stretch but this tractor has surprised me numerous times. Good point though as you don't want to put the tractor and yourself in danger or create a unintended project.

Yeah it's great for a few years and then it loses its value and a pain in the butt to remove in my opinion.
