💪 BIG DAVE QUICK REVIEW: WHAT GRAPPLE WIDTH SHOULD YOU BUY?
Let’s keep it simple…
👉 Go wider than your machine—but not too wide.
📏 WIDTH RULE
👉 Grapple should be wider than your tracks
- Covers your machine
- Moves more per pass
- Works faster
⚖️ MATCH YOUR MATERIAL
🌲 Light material (brush, logs)
👉 Go wider = more productivity
🪨 Heavy material (rocks, dirt)
👉 Go smaller = avoid overload
🧠 BIG DAVE TIP
👉 Check ROC + grapple weight + load weight
If you’re close to the limit → size down
🔧 WHY 2-CYLINDER (INDEPENDENT) GRAPPLES MATTER
- Each jaw moves separately
- Grips uneven loads tight
👉 Better control, less shifting, safer hauling
🪵 SKELETON vs SOLID
- Skeleton = dirt falls through (best for brush/logs)
- Solid = holds everything (best for scrap/debris)
🔄 OPEN vs CLOSED SIDES
- Open sides = easier for big brush piles
- Closed sides = cleaner containment
🛡️ CYLINDER GUARDS?
👉 Yes. Always.
Cheap protection from expensive damage.
🔥 FINAL WORD
✔ Wider = faster (until too heavy)
✔ Match to your material
✔ Don’t overload your machine
👉 Size it right = work faster, break less.
