hauling wood with 3PT hitch

I am posting this for Dave Seager.

This is a 3PT logging attachment that he has purchased. I am sure he will follow this post if any of you are interested in where he got it.

Thanks much for posting this Lavoy.
Actually, I didn't "buy" anything but the grapple and that was second hand private sale! I built the boom myself and added the grapple later! It is attached to the boom with a weld on D-ring and a shackle. there is enough flex in this attachment so I am not bothered by turns, (the grapple can swing almost 90 degrees in either direction) The grapple hydraulics plug into a remote on the tractor. If any of you are interested in more info on this, just post a reply to this message. As I said to Lavoy, this would probably look better with JD yellow paint and mounted on the 350 crawler that I'm looking for!

Hi Dave-

I would like more information, as I have a Ford 4000 that I use to skid logs. Right now I either skid with chains attached to the drawbar or use a 3-point boom (which isn't as stout as your attachment).

Thanks
