Grapple Tips for Moving Rocks | Kubota Compact Tractor | Creating a Rock Garden

[@DIYMyWay]

Nice grapple work, David! Yep, when picking multiple rocks the big rocks are the enemy of the smaller ones. Looking forward to the other parts of this series as you create your rock garden. Thanks for sharing!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, Martin! Yep you're absolutely right about that. I know it won't help with a load of varied sized rocks in one load, but I may tack on some expanded metal so that grabbing up dirt with it will be more efficient. But when it comes to the rocks, you just got to be patient and take as long as necessary. I appreciate you watching, my friend! And I was just thinking today that I can't wait to see you working your land again soon. :)

[@GardenTractorBoy]

I think it is great that the answer to all your jobs is the grapple, which is great as I really enjoy watching your grapple action. Thanks

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey thanks, Joseph! That grapple is my tractor's Swiss Army knife for sure. I hope my subscribers aren't getting tired of grapple action though. But, I have a ton of work this year to do where I get to use my other implements more. I just need this ground to dry up!! Thanks for watching, mate!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Love watching Kubota tractors work!! Your multiple camera angles, great audio, and editing make for an interesting easy to watch video....great job!! Mrs. Piney Grove would love to outsource her editing to you!! 🤣😂😅

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Wow, thanks! That's very kind of you to say :) I appreciate you watching Brad & Deb :)

[@BARBSCOUNTRYHOME999]

My grandson "Gary" loves your channel as well.. Great Job!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Wow, thanks for letting me know! I really appreciate that. Say Hi to Gary for me!!

[@BARBSCOUNTRYHOME999]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors I will... Thanks!

[@FabbedFun]

Shout outs to the smallest fans are great! A sentence or two in a video can mean a lot to a child. Great job! Those rocks will look great. I need to use some of the rocks I have around here for something, but the big rocks on my land are actually just compressed shale I think. They chip and break pretty easily. Great work with the grapple! Fun video!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Logan, yes sir and I hope Oliver gets a kick out of the shout! We have all kinds of big rocks around here and a lot of them are mostly underground. My tractor gets most of them up thank goodness. Thanks for watching, buddy! :)

[@FabbedFun]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors It's operator finesse!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

The grapple is such a great attachment to have and you definitely know how to operate it, great shoutout to Oliver 👍🏻, have a great weekend David🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻🙂

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thanks Luc! I just hope my subscribers aren't getting tired of grappling. LOL I guess my situation is similar to the guys that do mostly snow blowing during the winter. Thanks for watching and for your support, my friend! :)

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors I’m not getting tired my friend, keep up the great content 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

A lot of back saving action in this one! Isn't it great to be able to take these tasks and not tear up the yard while doing so! Nice production! Have a great weekend!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Oh man you got that right! Thanks so much, Derk. I really appreciate it! :)

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Very cool! I appreciate you coming to my channel to take a look. Kubotas are awesome machines for sure. I hope my B2601 lasts 30 years so my grandkids can enjoy it, too! I hope to see you around on the channel! - David

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Great job! That was some good tractor action. I bet Oliver loved this one!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Lucas, I sure hope so man. If somebody on TV had mentioned me when I was 3, I would have thought it was some kind of magic trick. LOL Thanks for watching, my friend! :)

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

Good job plucking them rocks David

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, sir! I appreciate you watching, buddy! :)

[@JustCaidsDayFarm]

Awesome job! The rock garden is going to look really nice. I can picture it now. I'm really excited to see it take shape.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Me too! Thanks for coming along for the ride, Justin :)

[@FLXLife]

My grapple is coming mid Summer I am told. Can't wait. Great video, David!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Oh man you're definitely going to love using your new grapple. I look forward to pictures! :) Thanks, Dave!

[@FLXLife]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors I had a Land Pride 1060 on order since October 2021 and was told in January that it won't arrive until November 2022. So...I cancelled it and ordered a Wicked 55 from Everything Attachments. I really liked the design of the LP1060, but the Wicked is much lighter and deeply loved by it's owners. Either one would have been great, I'm sure.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

I waited about 5 months for my grapple to come in and I was just about to cancel the whole darn order when it finally arrived. I think the EA grapples are great from what I've seen in video. I wish I could get my hands on one to test next to my Land Pride in a comparison video!

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Looks like a fun project David. Nice shout out to Oliver. Weather looks great there.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

I'm having a blast, Scott! Our weather is in that "weird" period where it's freezing cold at sunrise and starting to get a little hot in the afternoons. At least the sun is out mostly now!! It's not as steady as a Texas spring, but it's nice out :) Thanks for watching, Scott!

[@keegantimber8571]

Your getting good with that grapple Bud. Great video. Looking forward to part 2! 👍👍👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you, Jim! I appreciate it, buddy! :)

[@davidradzik2797]

Lots of fun with the grapple.. at least you didn’t run into one of the infamous Washington “Leave-er-be” rocks !!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

LOL yeah I've come across of few of those in lower Scotland Yard. The look like a nothing rock until you try to dig one up! Those get to stay. haha Thanks for watching, bud! :)

[@mikeheilman2560]

Nice job David, enjoy and be safe.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thanks Mike! You take care, my friend! 😄

[@IndianHemlock]

well done and well made video !!! that grapple is pretty handy !!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

It's like a Swiss Army knife for the tractor! :) Thanks for watching, my friend :)

[@JelenOutDoors]

Good work with the grapple. It is an awesome implement. Looking forward to the next video.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you very much! Agreed - it's my most valuable too other than the tractor itself. I couldn't do without. See you on the next one! :) - David

[@180Floridalife]

Nothing like a gaint robot hand to help out around the property 👍👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Exactly! LOL Thanks for watching buddy!

[@eugeniotv5404]

watching here my friend.interesting video..full support👍👍

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you very much!

[@watershedoverlook]

Nice grapple work David, and a really nice job on the running commentary too. Pretty cool how that one rock looked just like a cinderblock.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

LOL, well there's a cinder block in my rock garden. I have no idea why! Thanks for watching, Chris!!

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Good work and start to the new project. Those different sized rocks did pose a challenge 😁

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Dave! Yes and I knew they would for this design of grapple. I don't have to move many rocks on the property so it's not that big of an issue. I also use the grapple to pull up buried rocks around the yard and I think I have most of those removed already. BTW, I've been meaning to ask you if you'll be doing many of these types of videos on your channel. I love your reviews and trail cam footage though!

[@gatorsworld]

I have a lot of rock at the camp and I can see that it would get handy working them with a grapple....you did really good.....CHEERS

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Gator! That grapple's like a giant robot hand, eh? As we get older, these tools let us keep working. Are you going to be doing some tractor work in your videos this summer? Thanks for watching, my friend! :)

[@gatorsworld]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors Yes...I have some tractor work in mind but I have to wait....there is still about 2 feet of snow but I can feel it.....Spring and the warmer weather will soon be hear and then off we go for another year,,,,,CHEERS

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

@@gatorsworld Looking forward to it! Stay safe and warm! Cheers :)

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice job picking out those big rocks. Sounds like a nice plan for the yard. It'll look good when it's all done eh!!! You are very adept at using the grapple to 'explore' and then pick up the rocks. I think you're enjoying having that grapple. Nice work and thanks for sharing. Take 'er easy!!!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Mike! Yes this is our test area. At first we were going to put in some kind of mulch or bark, but that stuff only looks good a few months (or weeks) after you lay it down. I figure the rocks will look good and be way more permanent. Do you have a grapple for your tractor? Thanks for watching, buddy!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors I don't have a grapple but it would be a very useful attachment, so maybe one day!!!

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

Awesome job with that grapple, David.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Kyle! Thank you! How's it going over there? Still muddy?

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors Got in a mow today. evaluated the land some. I need to hook up the grapple and start picking up fallen limbs from the winter ice storms in January.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Have fun!!

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Good job showing us how you get the rocks up, I am sure those tips will help someone. Don't know if you finished this project yet, but a tip, Set the big rocks before spreading the crushed stone. it will look like the big stones are partially buried and more natural.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Joey! Nope not there yet. That's an awesome tip, man. I'm going to discuss it with the wife when we go to the quarry to pick out the rock. I appreciate you watching, buddy! :)

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Great Big shout out to Oliver !

[@RossOnTheLand]

Nice shout out to fans! And that's some good work on the rock pile. Do you have to keep raising the Big Tool Rack? Thank you for showing us and looking forward to the next one.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey Ross! I should have the BTR legs raised when moving but I didn't think about it when I filmed this (and 3 others on one day, so it's apparent in a couple other videos). I haven't even come close to dragging a leg when they're down, but I could snag something for sure. I appreciate you watching, my friend! :)

[@RossOnTheLand]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors I assume if I mounted this on my BX23s it would be closer to the ground. Cheers.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Yes, I imagine so. Have you checked with Tim over at BTR about using on a BX? I'm sure it would work, but yeah clearance may be more of an issue.

[@RossOnTheLand]

@@PaleHorseOutdoors I think I've seen them on the BX, maybe I'll reach out.

[@Bigtoolrack]

Great video!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Thank you! I shot 4 projects that day and the BTR excelled in every application. I appreciate you watching :)

My pleasure. :) Thanks for visiting!

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

Thats the difference in grapples, some are good for logs some are good for rocks some for rooting out roots in the ground for cleaning. I have a flatter bottom on my grapple and would have been able to put the smaller rocks in there by hand as long as they were not too small to go through the tines. They are not all created equal and sometimes I would have liked to have your style of grapple. That big rock you picked up almost picked up the back of the tractor, what kind of balast do you have in the Big Tool Rack? Maybe you could have put the smaller ones in there for more weight and would not have had to gotten out the cub with dump cart.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Hey! Good points about the grapple types. I've only used this style so far. I think this style is a pretty good compromise for being able to do so many types of tasks. I'm thinking of tacking on some expanded metal to help keep in smaller materials in the grapple but I haven't really decided on that yet. At the time of filming, the BTR had tools and a couple fir rounds in it. Normally I would have just had my weight box on there for the rock grappling, but it was going to rain and I needed to get the rocks out before that area got squishy. LOL I really appreciate you watching! See you on the next one!!

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

I need to go spend a big money on a couple flat face fittings for my grapple cuz my new loader third function came with them now I need to upgrade the grapple side. Wow they're expensive

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

I've got the flat ones on mine, too. That whole hydraulic setup with the 3rd function is way more expensive than I originally figured. Hope you get yours going soon!

[@raywalteroutdoors]

I bought a wireless camera and monitor I'm going to install. I can't see crap from the seat lol.

[@jimmywarren6685]

Tractor looks ridiculous hauling that rroll-around rack everywhere. That is a youtube gadget that I will do without.
