    Firewood Grapple

    they are controlled by one control but they move independently - so if you have an uneven load one will clamp til its tight then the other one will keep going until it hits - if that makes sense.

    firewood tractors

    Yeah you have to watch the ones 80 inches or so they get heavy and cut down on lifting capacity. The one I have is just under 1k lbs The machine has a 2700 working load and break out of 5k lbs so I can get the bid stuff off the ground bur getting them on a trailer is slow going hahah
