how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

That skid steer would pretzel that thing in 10 minutes tops...

Agreed, hence the word, similar. No pretzeling with a heavy duty claw and forks. I would like to see it twist heavy duty forks. With one claw you don't have the twisting force you get with 2, imo

Maybe the forks I am imagining don't exist. Not talking about pallet forks.

I have this one but with the single top grapple instead of the two like this one. I’ve beat the holy hell out of it and it still looks great. No bends/tweaks anywhere on it. Can’t say enough good things about it.

Exactly, one claw equals less twisting forces.

This is closer but still not what I am looking for. Heavier forks with one claw in the middle.

I bet Jenkins could make one.

Probably the closest thing to what you are talking about Thomas.

More like this, except heavier duty. Heavier forks and heavier claw:

That's for loading logs, yes.

You'd be hard pressed to chase a bunch of brush around with it though.

Pretzel...

5 minutes tops...

Pretzel...

5 minutes tops...

Yes, hence heavier duty…it will sink in eventually

I can’t believe they sell anything as flimsy as it is made

Deets has the only heavy duty grapple I have ever seen

Good Morning everybody. Rise and shine, heavy on the shine...

Thirty degrees cooler today than yesterday. [emoji2960]

Hunter’s MS201t #3 chit the bed.

Just got it running and it stopped sudden. [emoji90]

Peering in thru the spark plug hole it looks like a wrist pin retainer wasn’t seated properly. [emoji21]

Who set it?

No way it was you Carl...

 

[Hedgerow]

Unless it was Chinese....


Then all bets are off...

Too early in the week for shine..

Maybe Friday or Saturday...

I’m the one to blame. [emoji19]

It didn’t seem right but resisted against the pin when I tapped on it (the wrist pin).

Meteor piston kit lacked retainers due to some oversight. So, I used others.

Likely squeezed it too much and lost tension.


Edit:

Both wrist pin retainers were in place and intact. [emoji2955]

It had to be some tramp material hiding behind the crank or in the intake tract. Can’t find anything. [emoji90]

All of ours have the dual triggers and light curtains and our shop is sketchy AF.
