[@kennymysak2079]

Coming along great as long as your happy with the welds that all it matters.Keep up the great video's

[@DennysCountryLife]

I appreciate it Kenny! I' happy with most of them. On every larger project there is usually one or two that I'm not happy with. I always make sure they hold though!

[@howardyounger5456]

look like good welds to me. and i was an A.W.S. C.W.I.for 12 years. great job and a fun video to watch.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thank you very much Howard! I appreciate it. More to come very soon, and thanks for watching!

Looking good man!! I always drive a nut onto the taps. But they actually make an adapter for taps that fit 3/8 and 1/2 drive. Bought those when I was a mechanic lol

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks man! I have a set that I drove nuts onto for tight places where I can't get a drill. They've come in handy many times!

[@crslyrn]

I like it. It's really looking good & coming together nicely. Like you, I like to try to keep my videos short as to not lose you guy's attention for running on & on for too long. Stay safe.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thank you very much! As for video length/rambling.. I edit out so much bs that I felt was important at the time. If I didn't, every video would be 45 mins! Ha ha. Thanks for watching, and I'm looking forward to more of your videos as well!

Good progress Chris!

[@Masseydriver]

Your making good progress. Those welds look fine to me.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks man! I would consider myself an ok welder. Some guys are amazing, I'm not one of them ! Lol

[@paul.maplelandscaping1004]

Looks good and strong Chris , l love fabricating my own atachments

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks Paul! I just subscribed to your channel, looks like you have some pretty cool videos. Being able to fabricate your own things is something I couldn't imagine living without.

[@paul.maplelandscaping1004]

Denny's Country Life Thanks for subscribing, it's a little bit slow at the moment here , but plenty of different stuff in the pipeline. Keep filming I love to watch your vids , cheers Paul.

How wide are your bales and how much wider is the tongs per bale, so that it does not jam in the width?

[@tfisadog5260]

Where did you purchase your hay hooks?

[@GerraldFarms]

Looking good .

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks Gerrald!

[@cntslesfabrication]

Is there any way you could send me a parts list for the grapple you made? The ram, hooks, bearings. The reason I ask is there's a family that lost their father/Dad out of nowhere and they're trying to keep the family hay farm going and they don't have the funds to buy a grapple so I'm going to build them one at give it to them but I don't know exactly what parts I need to build it for them. I would go look at 1 in person to figure out what I need but we don't have farm's in Las Vegas.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Sorry to hear about that! I got the grapple hooks from Agri Supply part number #68279. The cylinder from Agri Supply is a 2x8 part number #87059. I made the bearings out of 1/2" thick Delrin I bought off McMaster Carr. Good luck and have fun with the build!

[@cntslesfabrication]

@@DennysCountryLife okay perfect thanks so much for this information. I keep looking online and it was starting to piss me off LoL. I will send you some pictures of it when it's done. Thanks again for help

[@michiganfarming1955]

coming together good!

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks man! Part 3 is coming soon. It'll look a lot more like a grapple in that one!

[@michiganfarming1955]

Denny's Country Life sound good man!!!

[@justinmartinez6436]

what gauge steel are the 8" dividers?

[@justinmartinez6436]

Great build BTW!

[@DennysCountryLife]

They are 10ga or 1/8". I'd go taller than 8" though, maybe 10. Basicall go as tall as you can with them still being a safe distance from the ground on uneven/bumpy fields. You'll be happy you did!

[@justinmartinez6436]

Denny's Country Life Yes sir I’ll go the 10”. Thank you for the reply.

[@nathanburt6053]

Flux core is difficult to make an amazing weld.

[@DennysCountryLife]

If your settings are right, and the material is prepped correctly, you can make a very nice weld with flux core. You'll have spatter to deal with, but the weld can be beautiful.
