012 - Tractor Attachment - Yanmar SA425 Grapple

This shows the setup and choice of the Yanmar grapple matched to the SA425 Tractor.
I break down the choice, type, setup, demonstration, and repair of this new grapple as I learn.
Welcome to Outbuilding!
These videos chronicle projects both at home and at this coastal property. With several outbuildings and a coastal climate, there is no shortage of landscaping, timber, renovation, repair, and upkeep projects.
This build involves some tractor time, some explanation, and some setup of the hydraulic actuated grapple for the SA425.
Special thanks to Bob Kuperus at Brimm Tractor for tracking down this implement as they weren't available when I first purchased the tractor.
This is the another "full release" episode for @outbuildinginfo, a channel devoted to building things, tools, and new design ideas. The previous episodes helped develop the channel voice, learn the video creation tools, and develop a pattern for documenting building projects, reviewing tools, and sharing workshop enhancements along with occasional howto's.
This is only the beginning of a number of fun videos as we learn more about this property and engage all that it will take to remove invasive weeds, plant new sequoia and other trees for this climate, and likely rebuild the house as a mostly off grid and sustainable retreat.
Thanks for sharing in the adventure.
Until next time, we will be out building.

Thinking about a yanmar. I think they are really under rated.

Thanks for the message and for watching. The Yanmar has been great for me so far. I'm pretty sure they are both really well built and really quietly marketed. I'm doing a 50 hour service shortly and will do a bit of a reflection on the first work done and impressions soon. Perhaps that will help you down the road.

Nice tractor 🚜 and grapple. I’m hoping to get one for my T25 soon 👍🏽
