grapple hooks

Postby brichter » Tue Nov 13, 2018 6:13 pm

Has anyone ever seen a set of grapple hooks for a cub? I sure could use a set to help clean up all the down trees and debris around here. wonder if anyone could fabricate a set?

Never seen them for a Cub, but I believe Kubota makes them for their loaders.

I have several different sets of this style grapple hooks. These are available from a number of sources.

Not sure if this is the style you are looking for.

Edit. Most skid steer manufacturers have grapple hooks for their machines.

I would be very leery of using that type of system with a Cub. If the log snagged on a rock or root, you could be over on your back in a flash. Something like this, on a smaller scale, would be much safer.

Are you looking for the ones that go on a loader bucket to hold the branches in? Grapple forks?

Fabricate a grapple hook on a u shaped trailer. Hinge the hitch so the hydraulics raises and lowers the grapple to lift the logs. The front of the log must be in the air when dragging/skidding.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Factor in a 8hp gas engine with a 12volt alternator with a battery and winch.?

Well not sure if your wanting to move brush or small logs or blocks of wood. If moving small logs or blocks, go find some log tongs and a chain. Hook to your drawbar and go to work.

That's a log arch. A number of different designs are available on the internet.
