That is similar to what I have Doc. I do not see that as a grapple "bucket" tho?

I would have to get 15 people on the back of my wheeled Dingo to lift that log.

But it is strong enough. Mine is one of the first dingo's with a Kubota diesel. Seems they changed the physics on later model (adjusted to the physics) so they could lift more weight.

that is a routine piece but we often double up to get a honker aboard.

The one both TV and myself were referring to is one that runs solely on the hydraulic flow from the loader and is just not up to the work that professionals would put it through. Perhaps if trees were a small portion of your busniess it would be ok.

Then trees would remain a small part of your business, Everybody I have talked to that has owned one or tried one says they suck!
Its the reason I developed The 38 special

1st Pic I believe the first Engine powered one " The terminator" 20 HP only available in Austrailia. 2nd is the forerunner of mine "The Hornet" made and designed in England (with the sandvik wheel!) and the 3rd is my latest version of the Branch Manager 38 special
I am running a special on them for BMGrapple owners Call me

Actually there is a 2 way valve in there which allows them to suck and blow at the same time. :cheers:

You are spot on with the Digga/Kanga models over here. The price is also prohibitive and then on top of that the gate access just doesnt cut it. If a machine significantly more powerful than the Terminator (20hp) was available in Australia there would be a market for it. Whenther it would be a big enough market would be another matter.

Is that left to right movement on the 38 special the stumpers or the mini's movement.

I would like to know the special price for the BMG owners on the stumper. Do we have to call or can't you just say it on here?

The swing (46") Left to right is controlled by your Auxiliary Hyd Circuit, The mini's movement is only used to advance into the stump, or chasing roots (My crew reported Chasing roots to be easier than a walk beside stumper, probably cuz he could ride not walk or the rocking back and forth action with the "juniors")

Anybody who owns one of my Branch Manager grapples can get a 10% price reduction on the 38 Special for "The recession is over year" 2010. :cheers:
