BIG DAVE

💪 BIG DAVE QUICK REVIEW: WHAT GRAPPLE WIDTH SHOULD YOU BUY?

Let’s keep it simple…

👉 Go wider than your machine—but not too wide.

📏 WIDTH RULE

👉 Grapple should be wider than your tracks

• Covers your machine
• Moves more per pass
• Works faster

⚖️ MATCH YOUR MATERIAL

🌲 Light material (brush, logs)

👉 Go wider = more productivity

🪨 Heavy material (rocks, dirt)

👉 Go smaller = avoid overload

🧠 BIG DAVE TIP

👉 Check ROC + grapple weight + load weight

If you’re close to the limit → size down

🔧 WHY 2-CYLINDER (INDEPENDENT) GRAPPLES MATTER

• Each jaw moves separately
• Grips uneven loads tight

👉 Better control, less shifting, safer hauling

🪵 SKELETON vs SOLID

• Skeleton = dirt falls through (best for brush/logs)
• Solid = holds everything (best for scrap/debris)

🔄 OPEN vs CLOSED SIDES

• Open sides = easier for big brush piles
• Closed sides = cleaner containment

🛡️ CYLINDER GUARDS?

👉 Yes. Always.
Cheap protection from expensive damage.

🔥 FINAL WORD

✔ Wider = faster (until too heavy)
✔ Match to your material
✔ Don’t overload your machine

👉 Size it right = work faster, break less.
