OK y'all know the FEL is laying on the garage floor with the grapple attached. I figure the weighs about 300 pounds and getting it off is going to be fun, but I digress . Dose any one have an idea the weight of the FEl by it self. Cause I cant lift it but I figure I can use the rope hoist and get it up but Im wondering so I can get enough 2x4s across the truss so I can lift it Im thinking 3 on edge but I dont k now what the FEl on the B weighs.

garage 'truss' will not support the weight !!! They're designed for ROOF load, not weight under them.
uses 6by6 posts with 3-2x6 as a 'beam'. You can use 2x4 to secure to the trusses.
FEL weight will be in the owner's manual 'somewhere'....
Would need to see a picture of the 'project' but removing grapple should be easy if SSQA.

Do you have a floor jack or bottle jack? You could use one with blocks of wood and slowly work it up higher and then release the grapple.
Skeets, I built a frame out of power pole cross members I had when I was building mounting brackets to use a Massey loader on a L305 Kubota. Simple, sturdy, cheap. Do something similar with material you have, but make it sturdy and strong.
