So I was doodling last evening as I sometimes do and drew up a set of grapple tongs that would go onto the receiver I have for the fork on my tractor. I don't want to spend the money on a third function at this time so I came up with this idea, use a small wireless controlled winch to close them up. Well today I built them! These open up to 24" and are about 32" long overall in case you get the urge to build some ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I built the receiver to slip on the fork last week or so to move my log splitter and dump trailer around with.
They should work for my intended purpose, I have two log landings to clean up which are less than a 1/4 mile apart on the same side of the road![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I just want to be able to pick them up and set them in either a trailer or the pickup.
Here is a short video I made.
