Brush Removal using
the Gregory Grappler

 

The design and construction of the Gregory Grappler lends itself very well to timber related chores. All you need do is shove or "rake" unruly brush like the copious amounts you find with Mulberry, Osage Orange, or any tree into a loose pile. Then with the grappler tines pointing straight down, use the earth as a backstop to cram the jaws as full as possible. Clamping the jaws shut tightly further compresses your load somewhat for reducing required space in your removal equipment.

The tines of the grappler open to 31.5 inches so large trunks are easily disposed of in a snap. Trunks larger that that can still be dealt with. The 3000 lb. output of your skid steer translates to over 37,000 lbs. of mechanical pressure at the end of the jaws. Larger pieces can be clamped to be moved restricted only by the counter balance provided by the GVW of your skid steer. Moving smaller logs and branches is easy as 1,2,3, when you collect them into a pile and then move them all at once as demonstrated in or Grappler video available on our movie clips page.
