Nice ! We now have a grapple.
That grapple is definitely a time saver and back saver! I keep looking at my tractor and wonder, how I ever got along without it. I’ve used it for way more than I ever thought I would. Have a great day, and may God bless...

I also think it's safer when loading the log deck. There is no risk of the log rolling over backwards and landing on the operator.
Joe, you are spot on about don't wait to buy a compact tractor You can never get too much tractor time.A 6-7' Woods rear finish mower should give you a nicer finish then a rotary mower. I keep 15 acres mowed with 6' rear finish mower 3 times a summer. Just before the holidays.A 3.5-4" finish look. Keeps any field brush from taking over.

Like i said before, once you get a grapple the forks become almost obsolete. You can now park them out back out of the way and only use them for moving pallets. Same thing happened to us. I loved using the grapple for logs and brush. good job thanking us for the info on the grapple. You are a stand up guy.

Morning Joe! I have a narrow grapple that is on my skidsteer near all the time, super handy. I think the skidsteer is a bit more agile than the tractor but I would not run it on the lawn and expect it to look like a lawn when I was done. Looks like the perfect setup for you.

Good morning Joe!!😀😀 Happy father's day!😀😀 The grapple is a definite must have for handling logs. Sounds like Titan messed up a little bit when you have to be in full curl just to be level. I think it's something Titan needs to address and maybe re engineer so it tilts back farther. More ballast is always better for keeping you solid on the ground. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

Thanks Logger Al. I have no idea what is or isn't the best way. I have no experience with these things and learning on the fly. I'm not sure how important the extra curl is when you have the clamp but at least as soon as you boom-up that makes the angle increase. Not sure if I'm making sense LOL

Any tractors with a grapple works great in a wood yard, I work at a bbq restaurant here in Pensacola & we get dropped off 40-60" rounds & without the skid steer with grapple them rounds would be hell on us.
@ohiowoodburner

Your restaurant makes the firewood? Interesting.
1.To might want to set the crooked pile up on two or three stringers to get them off the ground. They should be easier to cut that way. 2. You might be able to transport two or three poles to the live deck at once with the grapple. It would improve your productivity.

The perfect accessory for cleaning the tractor would be an electric pressure washer as you get the pressure needed to remove caked on mud if needed without the need of a gas engine on it so safe to bring inside if you need to wash a car/truck/tractor in the winter like for road salt removal.

Joe I have a compact tractor but it's green lol, nothing runs like a Deere you know (joking) it is a 3038 JD with a cab that I use for cutting grass, blowing snow that has a front end loader on and I have a backhoe for it. I found lots of jobs for it here on the farm that I don't want to use my bigger Deeres on because they are to big for me.

Got a question for you joe on the tractor. I’m really thinking about getting one if things go good with applying for a government start up grant for my business and I’d like to know from the front of the loader to the back of the ballast box how long is it? Also with those attachment and loaded tires what is your tractors weight? Also how wide is it. I have a 6x10 10k cam superline advantage dump trailer that I’d like to haul it in. Thanks and love the videos.
