    pull sticks out with cable then tow them with chain attached to pull slots in winch. If you continue towing with the cable you will eventuall break either the top link or the tractor. Good luck.

    I'm sorry, tried to make it thru the entire video but the music, the John Deere must sound better.

      Yep it would be nice if CZcams would let us use ZZ Top instead Lagrange would be my tractor jam!

    Once you cut the log up, in various long pieces; wouldn't it of been easier to grapple all of them together bringing them back to the house? Granted you would of had to shorten a few for the ride back. Be careful with the cable & chain without gloves.

    • @mapletreehomestead3437
      @mapletreehomestead3437  Před 2 lety +1

      I guess that you could but it would require wider skid roads and a much bigger tractor.

    Hi I am wanting to order a 3046r. We are struggling. Are you running John deere hydraulic kits? I have the grapple and we are not finding a kit to run the grapple? Are you running the grapple from the rear hydraulics? Thanks for any advice!

    • @mapletreehomestead3437
      @mapletreehomestead3437  Před rokem

      Yes, it is a John Deere kit that we installed using the rear hydraulics!

    • @jakewiskur3702
      @jakewiskur3702 Před rokem

      Is there any way of a video showing/explaining about the kit? I know the button on the loader handle controls the scv in the back but how about to run the grapple? And again thanks for the info!

    • @mapletreehomestead3437
      @mapletreehomestead3437  Před rokem

      @@jakewiskur3702 I’ll give it a shot, the kit came in two sections. The first section was the hard pipe that went from the bucket of the tractor to the hard connection where the loader attachment goes on and off then the second section was rubber hydraulic hoses that snaked through underneath the cab to the SVC connection.

    What is the amount of time it takes to take a tree down and out?

    • @mapletreehomestead3437

      Total time for me now being left handed is just north of an hour!

      @wayne251975 Před 3 lety +1

      I'm left handed, yes we all have our ways that meet comfort level to skill and this first tree for me wouldnt had been no more than 5 - 10 min tops. I had always wondered what all the "safety" equipment is about yet im sure it has something to do with the horrified safety mongers that troll every video. I'm for safety but some of this stuff becomes a hazard all on its own safety be damned... To each their own, after its all said and done success is measured in these instances as not getting yourself or anyone hurt or damaging property...

    Hey what video did you show the mods you did to the winch?

    • @mapletreehomestead3437
      @mapletreehomestead3437  Před 2 lety

      The only thing that I did to the winch is I shortened the PTO.
      I do have a video about the things that I did to the tractor for logging,
