"pallet fork" grapple?

[joea]

As a soon to be 80 year old was thinking of a grapple, or grapple like device, for a B21 with SSQA adapter, to let me (claim) I can keep going at it. Wanting to move standard brush/limb discards and discards from bandsaw mill.

Ran across the "pallet fork" add on for fork attachment, which I just happen to have on hand.

Advice? Besides, sit down already, put your feet up and hire the work out?

Life is short.

Money ... is like any other “tool.”

Use it accorldingly, …IMO.

In my mind, a grapple add-on sounds half axxed.
A dedicated grapple might be more functional and offer other uses.

I like my grapple. It’s hassle free, easy to use and works well.

For the most part, I like “dedicated tools”…They tend to work better, with less hassle..

I have never had a “fork add on” model, but my experience with tools that try to emulate the real thing is less than stellar.

Your "life philosophy” will help you make the decision I suppose.

Personally……Like my dad used to say…."Theres a reason they don't put pockets in coffins"

(Although my wife is tired of hearing that when the Visa bill comes…. …My dad used to also say, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission…..)

My vote is “get the real grapple"

If you get a grapple you'll wonder how you did with out it, awesome back saver.

I never tell anyone to set down and put your feet up. I have had enough health issues myself if I would have done that when the doctors told me that well over twenty years ago I would be long gone. Spend the money and buy your self a grapple. The only regret I have is I wish I would have know about them before I bought one twenty plus years ago. Super handy tool.
