Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with using a root grapple. I know that they are very handy for moving brush piles. I have some property that is overgrown with junipers and I would like to remove them. Is this a viable application for a grapple? Thanks

I have one on my skid steer and it's one of the handiest attachments I have. I bought it after hurricane Ike went through to clean my place up. I just noticed who you are now. The 185 is doing fine.

Sparky, Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear the 185 is working out for you. Miss that tractor. 😊

If you do get a grapple I highly recommend getting one with double cylinders with the cylinder guards.
