Is it just me, or does a large busted woman and a 30 pack just sound realy good right now?
Here is my BoDozer grapple. It works well at logs and brush.
Some guys will get a laugh from this:
I move alot of firewood with that little gem.
Yep, it's the 501. As I made the ball mount I would be guessing as to the capacity. I wouldn't pull loaded trailers through the woods with it, but for just moving around the yard it does fine.

I just bought a Farmi 501 (It's not coming until July). I plan on using it on a 5320 JD (about 60 HP with no bucket). Do I have enough tractor?
Mine's on a 43 hp, but it has a front end loader. It's on the small side for that winch, but I figured I may want a bigger tractor someday. You may want to add some weight in front, I dunno, try it and see I guess. Good thing about the winch, once the blade hit's the ground the front end should stop coming up.I just bought a Farmi 501 (It's not coming until July).

You have enough horse power. Do you have the front end weighted down with a bunch of suitcase weights? At least with a loader you could fill the bucket with additional material to help anchor the front end down if needed. Can you load the front tires? You could call Northeast Implement @ (607) 589-6160 and confer with them since they are the Farmi distributor for the US.
I took your advice and bought one. Paid $3900 US with a couple of choker chains and 200 ft of cable. I think I did ok but I don't know. I just hope it does what I want it to do.hey i thought you were going to by mine, just kidding, 60 hp should be enough, i used to run mine on a jd 3130 two wheel drive 80hp, what are they worth over there. i was thinking about upsizing to a 601
I just bought a Farmi 501 and use a JD 5320. I used it 3 big days and so far I am very impressed. I also farm so having the tractor was a given. I've very impressed with what I can haul with that winch.I'm almost thinking of selling my skidder. This little tractor has worked some pretty tough ground. It's very versatile and I like the idea of being able to pile logs in postage stamp size landings and having the use of a material bucket as well. This Rock Maple weighs over a ton at 200 board feet.
maybe I should have started this on the logging forum but it so much more quaint over here.
