bucking on a grapple - crazy talk?

[mcfarmall]

If I was doing a ton of bucking, I'd have a sawmill buddy slice me a 4-6" slab off the middle of a 36" white oak for a saw table. I like the one Mike Morgan uses but I'd want it higher to eliminate bending over. To quote Buckin' Billy Ray, "Stand up and buck!".

Don't listen to anyone who says it can be done and works - it can't and doesn't. Massive failure waiting to happen, death, destruction and possibly (probably) world hunger. There's no way I'd do it.

Pics should prove the point:

And by the same token, don't listen to anyone who says a grapple can load logs onto a tractor - doesn't work, won't happen, don't do it.
