It opens up to 36" and all the tines are 1/2" steel plate.


No problem lifting and moving logs around now.

Even grabbing it one end so I can hold it off the ground and cut it up.

Then I grabbed some 30" popple rounds and moved them to the splitting pile.

Then on to picking up brush and moving it to the burn pile.



This is the biggest log I moved. A good sized willow trunk. Clamped it down and lifted it no problem.


I still have to get to the JD dealer and see if I can get the foot pedals changed over to hand controls. Trying to run the bucket with foot controls is just awkward and jerky. While I am sure I would get better with them I just don't see me being able to get the smooth action I can with hand controls. But it can sure clean up a mess fast. And I am really looking forward to getting all the brush and logs cleaned up on the trails I made at the farm.
