How do you get the logs close enough to the trailer for the grapple to load them? What do you have? Skidsteer? I have seen a log grapple trailer that has an integral winch built into it. If I have to use a mobile piece of equipment to get the logs to the trailer than I wouldn't see any sense in getting a grapple but just get a dump trailer instead and a skidsteer with a Beaver Squeezer Grapple or Ryan's. It would be a lot more useful.

The kubota 4x4 tractor i've got will be used to forward the logs to the trailer, the trailer will load the logs, the tractor then is driven back across the yard to the stumps and will grind them with the pto driven woods/sandvik grinder, my helper will then load the tractor behind the f-250 diesel and i drive the bucket pullin the log trailer.:hmm3grin2orange:

How do you like your Kubota? They are very well built tractors.

She's a good one. After 200 hrs in 13months since i bought her, don't have a complaint yet! The most versatile tool a man can own, besides a swiss army knife. Find a new use for her almost every week. She's on the job everyday, no workers comp needed on her, can do the work of 30-40 men, never late, and does not complain or get sluggish.

The tractor is a Kubota l2800, i believe it's 29 hp. and has 4x4 and a diff lock which is nice up front. The loader is a 436 kubota, the only one available with 1" steel bucket lip.
