Not into the 4 wheeling thing really. But thought I’d do a build thread anyways.
I wanted something to help rip out sticker bushes. This is what I came up with. Not a ton of pics and I’m doing this from my phone..

Not sure why the pictures are coming in all sideways and upside down..

No pictures of the loader control valve, but I swapped it out for a 3 valve, instead of the existing 2 valve. And added a couple quick connects so I can take the grapple off and put the bucket back on.
 
I like it. Let us know how it works.
Looks like something like that would work good on a skid-steer also.

Thanks. Yes, more common for skid steers. Think that’s where I got the idea..
And it works great, so far.

Phones have a weird thing with rotation programing thats over my head.

What I found works to kill it is to (on your phone) edit the pic. While in the edit pic phase rotate it 180 degrees. Save it. Then do it again 180 and it will then stay upright when posted.


Grapple looks great!
 
When taking the picture, hold the phone on its side with the power button up. I found that works for me. I have an android but believe it's the same for apple phones
 
Yeah, I’ll need to figure out this picture rotation thing..

Yes, it’s a yanmar 2010. It’s been a great little tractor for running a brush hog. Been trying to find more ways to put it to use..
