Hey GP! Great video. Don't ever say sorry for a video being "too long!" There is no such thing when it comes to your channel! God bless. Greeting from Dallas!
Good morning GP I have over forty years of operating a lot of different tractor manufacturers I am by no means a tractor expert. One of my pet peeves is no chains carrying the loader high in the air keep that bucket as low as possible. Have a good day
Great video. Very informative. I have a 2018 BX2380 and love it. I’m not doing all sorts of work like you are both I would love to, I just need to finally buy an acreage. Lol. I just recommended your Channel to my brother who have just purchased 106 acreages in Nova Scotia. He will be a first time tractor owner and I believe your videos will be invaluable to him, as he will be doing work similar to what you are doing on your acreage. He is considering a Kubota LX2610. My BX2380 is an open tractor and you are 100% correct. Too have a heated / AC cab is the way to go. I should have bought the cab with my BX in 2018 as today, the cab is double the price. Once again, great videos!
GP, again.... I like your channel , you take time to research things , and have great content. I have a grapple, use it frequently, but never thought about the float position on the loader. Just to let you know,....you DID teach an old dog a new trick!! Good stuff, thanks!
Always TOP NOTCH VIDEOS... Thank you for the time taken to put this together. I have an EA Wicked Grapple and love it!! ... We live in "A GREAT TIME" and these toys just keep getting better.
Not much to say, EXCEPT EXCELLENT VIDEO! Your way of teaching and speaking is superior! I don't know what you did in your former life, but I think if you weren't a teacher, trainer or instructor, you missed your calling. Super job. Makes me wish I owned some land and had a Kubota tractor to make doing the chores go quicker and easier. Thanks.
Hi Gord! Thanks for a very thorough explanation of how you use your grapple. The more I see them used in videos like this, the more I’m swayed toward getting one. Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned!
I am subscribed to your channel and yes you deserve a grapple I keep mine on about 90% of the time. You expecially needed one when you're clearing your land for your shop and pond
I too have struggled with storage on a pallet and tend to open the jaws and then stand it up on both front and back teeth. Your cradle idea sounds better - I wish you had shown it in use. Good video!
Morning Bluesky - there was a card up in the top right hand side of the screen there, that shows the link to the build video and I demo it on that video. Hope it is helpful - Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors Hi, thanks for your reply. Watched the section 4 times, the link appeared once but did not work and thereafter never appeared again. Very strange but no matter, will do a search through your videos for it. Raining steadily again here in MA with threats of mush/snow later today and tomorrow. Tractor now in driveway with snow pusher mounted awaiting action.
Excellent video. Even though you wish to say it is not instructional, it gives very good opinions on how to use a grapple. My new LS 3172 is sitting outside waiting for me to try it out. Supposed to get snow tomorrow and Friday so it will have to wait until Sat.. Thank you for your advice.
My Grand L3560 should arrive at my local dealership in April! complete with front mounted blower , loader and rear box scraper! Ive been watching your videos non stop for quite a while now ! and i do also believe i will go ahead and give Duliban a call regarding tractor protect insurance! thank you so much for all of your insight and great content !
Good afternoon Gord. You did a great job covering your grapple and many points to consider before buying the one you may need the most. You really do a great job operating your tractor and your equipment. We appreciate your taking the time to pass on your valuable information. Thanks for sharing with, time to gear up for a little cooler weather down here. Fred 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey, Thanks Gord. I never thought about putting the loader in the float position while going for a log. Excellent tip! I have learned so much from you! Cheers!
Very helpful tips GP. I've not yet got a Grapple, but aim to get one. Most of the time I would have greater need of a grapple than what I'd use my bucket. Thanks my friend.
Great video. You, sir, are a very good teacher. This is a video I will view several times, especially in March 2021. Looks likes you might receive some snow with the storm that will be coming across the U.S. Looks like 2 inches of rain for us. Thanks for doing these videos. They are very helpful.
Thank you very much Jean. Yes indeed - our long term forecast is calling for several days of snow. I think it's time to mount the blower. :)) Stay warm and safe!
Thanks for the video. I am in the market now for a grapple. Perfect timing. Your videos have been a huge help and I enjoy your views of the woods. Thanks and happy holidays.
Thanks GP, I am sure I will be coming back to watch this video again numerous times once my grapple gets here. It looks like it will be February when it arrives, can't wait. Take care, Ben
The one tip I can add look for something that has ar400 Steel for the tines, 2. I prefer the double grapple it tends to hold on even size loads. We have a manufacturer in Deland Florida named The Rake shop. Samuel has exceeded my expectations for strength and durability.
good video don't have a grapple would like to have one my wife said have to stop watching your videos I want to many toys lol very good advice thanks so much for sharing have a great day
You are becoming very proficient with that grapple. With you on the grapple and Biff working the bucket of his Kubota, you guys could knock out any task in a hurry! Great info on the video. Thanks!
Great video, Gord! Super job explaining when and where to use the float ... took me a while to figure that out but I take virtually the same approach. Regarding Grapple choices, I spent a long time researching grapples before I made my choice. For readers who might be considering a grapple, here’s the brief summary of my research for some of the major brands... and please note these are sized for compact tractors Artillian: didn’t like their square upper jaw - it doesn’t close tightly on smaller logs and rocks (didn’t see the need for two half-jaws either) Everything Attachments Wicked Root Rake - I initially really liked this one but the more I looked into it, I realized that I didn’t want the tines (teeth, whatever you want to call them) so far apart. If you want to pick up smaller rocks or split wood, much of it will fall between the tines. Land Pride: The SGC10 series is a great match for the L series Kubotas (for reference, I have the Grand L4060) and I almost bought this one. High strength AR400 steel, relatively light, fairly closely spaced tines, good reviews, BUT the backside of the lower jaw is closed off with sheet steel except in the mid area. Sometimes you need to see through the tines to know where your claws are. You can’t see through the openings in the middle because of the nose of the tractor, and you can’t see through the outer part of the grapple because it’s closed off with sheet steel. HLA Light Duty Root Rake (exactly what GP has): “Commercial” (mild) steel but 1/2” thick tines, relatively tightly spaced tines (about 6” apart, one hydraulic cylinder and it’s VERY strong so lots of bite. Great price, same range of jaw opening as the others, and it closes nicely on smaller logs and rocks. Perfect. Bought it. Would do it again without question. I’ve dug out huge boulders that barely fit in the jaws and near the capacity of the loader, but even without a “wrap” on the rock, the jaws will hold their bite. Can you bend the tines? If you wedge in just the right size and shape rock, sure you can.(although mine aren’t bent as bad as Gord’s LOL!) Can they be straightened? Yes, with a really big hammer or hydraulic spreader, but why bother? It still works just fine! And finally, as Gord mentioned, HLA products are made in Ontario, Canada, so good for us Canucks, but also good for our American friends because of the 30% exchange on the dollar in YOUR faviour!) Hope this is helpful for anyone looking to buy a grapple!
Good video. I store my grapple open, with top and bottom jaws resting on the ground. This keeps it stable, and keeps the cylinders retracted (not exposed to the weather).
Good content, excellent pointers...practice practice practice! I love my grapple, sometimes it goes as planned and sometimes I’m chasing the load...haha
Hi G.P. great video thanks for sharing I don't have a grapple yet but it's on my wish list. I have to put a third function kit on first. Have a wonderful weekend thanks again
Hey,hope you and your family are doing well, I wish I had a loader so I could use your tips!!! I noticed in the beginning your cab was fogging up a bit.... Paul on the island (lol) said that he puts on the air conditioner in colder whether...keeps the cab from to much humidity...it works !!! Keep going my friend!!! Mike
How's she goin'? Way to go GP!!! A great job explaining the ins and outs of operating the grapple!! This video would be a great resource for new, and seasoned, grapple owners!!! Take care!!
Lol just noticed the lack of grill protection just before you brought it up, can’t wait to see that one. Figure out something for more lighting! Thank you
I have a Wicked 55 on my Deere 1023e and frequently max out the lift capability of my tractor on big rocks. Remember that all tractors can curl more weight than they can lift. For big loads (rocks), you rotate your curl forward and come down on the rock from above and grab it tight with the grapple. Then you curl back and you can get a surprisingly big load a few inches off the ground. Then I can slowly move it. Cheers.
Learned something new from you. I never considered using the float while grappling in certain instances. Really looking forward to trying this technique next time I can. All very helpful information! Thanks, Doug
Hey, happy it was helpful Doug. You will see on those grabs - logs and brush, you can see the FEL arms floating freely up and down as I work the jaws and curl the grapple - it allows it to move more freely. I get much better grabs. I think you will like it. Good luck!
Greetings from eastern Ontario. Great info on using the grapple. I've had mine for a while now and still learning on how to best use it. One thing I would like you to maybe cover in a future video is any tricks or tips on hooking up the hydraulic lines. I have the exact same HLA grapple as you but have a heck of a time connecting the hydraulic hoses. I have tried everything that folks suggest. Relieving any pressure on the third function connection on the tractor and any pressure in the grapple hoses. Nothing seems to work and its a real chore to hook up. Cheers.
I've been meaning to go back and re-watch the video where you and Guy made that cradle. I built a holder for my grapple similar to the one that daveknowshow built, but it doesn't work well for me. I need one like yours where I can completely close the jaws to be able to relieve the pressure from the lines and not have it fall over like you were describing.
Just got my root rake grapple in from Homestead Implements last week for the b2601. For sure I will be adding the expanded steel to the brush guard over the winter months. Great informational video though and very helpful!
Good stuff Gregory. Their attachments look very well designed and manufactured. Perhaps let me know how you like it from time to time, if you are able. Enjoy it!
@@GPOutdoors Absolutely I will keep you updated. It seems to be a very well built attachment so far. Also they ship the implements right to your home rather than having to arrange a pickup at a nearest frieght terminal. I will keep you updated throughout. Stay safe !
That you GP for the information so when I get a grapple like yours I got a good start on how to use it. Very interesting video. Did you ever try to straighten the bent teeth or would they break?
Hi David. Yes indeed - there was a little grey "card" up at the top of the screen while i was talking that will take you to that video. I believe it is video #145. Cheers!
Great tips GP, thanks for sharing. Just curious, were you ever an instructor? You sure have the knack for explaining how things function or should lol. Stay well Cheers
Grapples a really nice it took me a while to get used to it but I love it now I have it on my John Deere tractor works great
Hey GP!
Great video. Don't ever say sorry for a video being "too long!" There is no such thing when it comes to your channel!
God bless. Greeting from Dallas!
LOL! Thanks very much TWG! Cheers to you down in Dallas!
Been waiting a month for my new grapple on my new LX2610, thanks for the help!
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks
Cheers Mike!
No apologies needed! Very thorough and useful.
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week.
Cheers and thanks Marc!
Good morning GP I have over forty years of operating a lot of different tractor manufacturers I am by no means a tractor expert. One of my pet peeves is no chains carrying the loader high in the air keep that bucket as low as possible. Have a good day
Grapple is 1 of the best attachments you will ever own love mine
Good morning . Thanks for all your efforts and tips . Cheers
Cheers P!
Great video. Very informative. I have a 2018 BX2380 and love it. I’m not doing all sorts of work like you are both I would love to, I just need to finally buy an acreage. Lol.

Always TOP NOTCH VIDEOS... Thank you for the time taken to put this together. I have an EA Wicked Grapple and love it!! ... We live in "A GREAT TIME" and these toys just keep getting better.
Good video. Definitely 100% agreed... If you are going to use a grapple, you need to install a front grill guard.
LOL! You bet. I need to get mine done soon. Cheers!
Really good tips this morning GP, especially using the float position 👍🏻
Not much to say, EXCEPT EXCELLENT VIDEO! Your way of teaching and speaking is superior! I don't know what you did in your former life, but I think if you weren't a teacher, trainer or instructor, you missed your calling. Super job.

Thanks for the insight. I have a B2650 and the grapple is my next purchase. Always learn a lot.
Thank you, watching your video helped me to purchase of the SGC0554 grapple for my soon to be arriving LX2610Su.
As always you are informative, cool, calm, peacful, and collected. I love it and you speak unity. Keep going my man.
Thanks very kindly Ralph! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

4:59 One of the single most important, and often most difficult to comprehend, considerations when working a grapple. Well done GP. Enjoyed it!
Thanks Mitch! Hope you are keeping well. Have a good one!

Thanks GP another great video I’ve been thinking about getting a grapple and this is a huge help. Have a great weekend and cheers
Hey GP! About a few weeks ago just got my first tractor, a Kubota BX2680, having a blast. Take care sir.
Thanks GP,
I am sure I will be coming back to watch this video again numerous times once my grapple gets here. It looks like it will be February when it arrives, can't wait.

Thanks Bob!
The bottom teeth of this grapple are AR400 and in a larger size this grapple would have a double grapple with all AR400 steel
Very informative, explained extremely well and the perfect length. Thanks 👍👍👍
good video don't have a grapple would like to have one my wife said have to stop watching your videos I want to many toys lol very good advice thanks so much for sharing have a great day
LOL! Cheers Tom!
Appreciate this video, just got a grapple and there is definitely some getting use to
Great information! Thank you!!!
Great tip with the float position!
Great explanation Gord, Thanks for the tips.
Glad went through All the video, good points all the way to the end.
thanks for being an awesome teacher!
Thanks for the kind comment - I greatly appreciate it. :))
На такой технике работать одно удовольствие
I have,'t been using float, so this will help alot. Thx!
All the best Paul!
Great pointers. Never considered you would use the float position when using the grapple. Thanks for the info!
I'm very new to tractoring. This video was a great topic for me. Thanks for your thoughtful and well-explained content.
I am happy it was a little helpful. Good luck with the new tractor and all the best!
Some good points GP. 👍Stay well and safe.
You are becoming very proficient with that grapple. With you on the grapple and Biff working the bucket of his Kubota, you guys could knock out any task in a hurry! Great info on the video. Thanks!
LOL! Man, Biff sure knows how to use a bucket like no one else. Cheers Clint!
Great share. Thanks for the videos
Thank you for the info. I was looking at a fork grapple but you've changed my mind into getting a root grapple instead. Great tips.
Great video, Gord! Super job explaining when and where to use the float ... took me a while to figure that out but I take virtually the same approach.

Thanks James!
Good content, excellent pointers...practice practice practice! I love my grapple, sometimes it goes as planned and sometimes I’m chasing the load...haha

Really enjoyed the information on the grapple. Definitely a must have for many different applications. Stay well!
very nice tutorial GP.

How's she goin'? Way to go GP!!! A great job explaining the ins and outs of operating the grapple!! This video would be a great resource for new, and seasoned, grapple owners!!! Take care!!
Thanks very much Grampie! I hope it is a little helpful for folks. Hope you are keeping well. Cheers my friend!
Great talk, GP. That grapple is so amazing. You picked a great one.
Great video, I’ve been considering a grapple
Excellent video, again I leaned something new.
Thank you. I get mine next week.
Good stuff! Enjoy the new grapple Thomas!
Great video GP. Thx!
Good job Gord very informative, I could use a grapple on my hunting land, have a great day
Good tips.
Lol just noticed the lack of grill protection just before you brought it up, can’t wait to see that one. Figure out something for more lighting! Thank you
