OFF THE CHAIN !!! You are one talented individual sir !!!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks👍 Have a great weekend😁👍

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Man, that is still one of the coolest builds! I like seeing how you planned it out. 👍

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Lucas👍I don't know if I can top this video😂these builds are a lot of work. thanks for leaving a great comment. Have a great weekend😁👍

[@tractorman4461]

Awesome video Mitch !! I picked up on your channel during Ed's live chat this week. Seat of the pants engineering, just the way I like it !!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 👍 I try to use what I got and plans always change over night😂 thanks for checking out the channel😁👍🚜💨💡looks like I have already subscribe to your channel I will have to check out your videos😁

[@BuildALotAcres]

Love the gray and orange. Looks awesome. Great idea Joe had with the grease nuts.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Case👍Joe is a Great Fabricator like you. Have a Great weekend 😁👍

[@BuildALotAcres]

@@MJADoingStuff Joe is a smart guy and is very talented for sure.

[@thomassanden5094]

Hi man, that's a very nice grapple you have built great work, and tank you so much for sharing the measurements and details.👍

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 😁it’s a pretty simple design looks more complicated than it is. Have fun making it I am sure you can make it better😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

Looks better than store-bought Mitch. Thanks for showing those dimensions. Day safe and warm. Later

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks for checking out the video. It might be easier to just make it then go by my measurements 😂 have a great weekend😁👍🚜💨💡

[@RossOnTheLand]

Nice measurements! I thought you were a Deadman walking outta the kitchen with the pan! Haha. Love it. Well done and looks perfect.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 👍 Ross Jamie hate’s it when I go in the kitchen cause she knows it not to cook anything 😂 👍🚜💨💡

[@RossOnTheLand]

@@MJADoingStuff well done sir.. well done hahah

[@GardenTractorBoy]

I like the use of the frying pan, that is our type of engineering. I really like your design and the way you made this, thanks for sharing the details. Joe has some great ideas too

[@MJADoingStuff]

This was a fun project I think I might make some to sell In the future thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡

[@HuserHelpers]

great job documenting your build. It should help a ton of people out.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Jason👍 I am going to have to figure out how to get it on the computer so I can put it in the description to share it 😂 Thanks for checking out the video.😁👍🚜💨💡

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

Great Video as always with my kind of Humor 🤣 You have Special Skills for sure ! Thanks for sharing Phil PFON GBU

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Phil 👍 I think I am going to have to buy my own frying pan for the garage😂 thanks for checking out the video. So what is GBU?

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Beautiful build, fit and finish Mitch! What's next?

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks David 👍Good Question I guess we will see😁👍🚜💡💨

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Your grapple looks OEM 👍🏻, Original Equipment by Mitch 😉😂. Great job Mitch 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@MJADoingStuff]

That's funny Luc👍Good one!!!😁Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡🙋🏻‍♂

[@d.t.3511]

If I may make a suggestion....disassemble the unit, lay each piece on a sheet of graph paper and trace them out. That would allow easier identification of measurements and hole placement.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Great idea 💡 I guess you can tell I was winging it 😂 thanks for checking out the video.😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@twobears1224]

I'de buy a set of patterns.

[@6DOutdoors]

That log grapple is so cool. Do your ever think about getting a patent for it. You're builds are far better then some of the factory stuff I've seen. Thank you for sharing the build info on it. Take care and have a great weekend buddy. 👋

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Kyle 👍 I got some ideas but going to take some time to get things set up 😉 Thanks for checking out the video you take care to😁👍🚜💨💡

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

The build quality is amazing Mitch.

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@tractortalkwithgary1271 Thanks Gary 👍 I like making stuff😁 One day I will be making things for cash😂 Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨💡

[@FromSteelToWood]

I am glad that idea is going to serve your purpose! I like the fry pan reference... and how your wife approved for that! We would do anything for the quest of the perfect radius, don't we? Would you believe I use PowerPoint to sketch my implements? I've done so for many snowplows, dump trailer, and also my log grapple. Anytime where an actuator is being used, the distance between the pivot points VS stroke gets their importance. You sure know what I mean there! Thanks Mitch!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks again for the idea Joe👍It is going to be way easier to grease it now. Yeah trying to figure out the best angles for the pivot points are always fun😁👍 thanks for checking out the video🚜💡💨

[@FabbedFun]

Great. Now I'm thinking about bacon. I like the benchtop engineering. Relatively simple, but highly effective. Fantastic!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Logan 👍 Bacon 🥓 😋 now I just got to put the frying pan back and not get caught😂👍

[@berkster111]

Awesome. Thanks

[@MJADoingStuff]

😁👍🚜💨💡

[@051biohaz]

Man, I would love to build one of these…my fabrication skills are not quite at that level yet, but I’m working on it..:) thanks for the super cool build and the upload dude..:)

[@MJADoingStuff]

Anytime 👍 I think you can do it the hardest part is getting the right tools. Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨💡

[@rv-eb3wu]

real nice work and maybe someday I'll try one too thanks to you.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 👍 I hope by then I will figure out how to put drawings in the description😁Have a great weekend😁👍🚜💨💡

[@WichhartAcres]

The key to the whole project? A Frying Pan! Lol thanks for the measurements!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Yep 👍 just don’t tell Jamie 😂👍 thanks for checking out the video

[@JCWren]

Perhaps one of the subscribers is skilled with Fusion360 or Solidworks, and could reproduce the design in one of those. They'd probably need to borrow the original to get some more detailed measurements, though. It would be pretty slick to be able to send out the design files to Big Blue Saw or run it on a CNC plasma table to get the metal work.

[@MJADoingStuff]

I am going to have to do something. Maybe have to invest in a CNC plasma table and learn how to program it. Thanks for the idea's I will have to look into that Fusion 360 thing😁Thanks for watching😁👍

[@marksleeper9385]

thanks

[@MJADoingStuff]

Your welcome 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@woodysurbanforestryproduct4091]

That slide square is called a bevel square. I'd love to have a set of your grapple drawings

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks for the education on the bevel square😂👍 I don’t have any drawings yet I am working on purchasing a CNC plasma table and learning to use 360 fusion. Thanks for checking out the video. Have a great day. 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@maxmichels7095]

Do you have plans for this project for sale?

[@MJADoingStuff]

Sorry not yet this was my first prototype and I think 🤔 it could use some changes first. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@ruffnarbobnar5960]

I wonder if I could make this at work for picking up pipe to drag from area to area. At the moment most of the workers use plate clamps and chain to drag the pipe around. I use my l3301 to drag plate/pipe/beams you name it around to where I need it.

[@ruffnarbobnar5960]

BTW subbed and like really cool brother, awesome work.

[@MJADoingStuff]

It would work but may need a double piloted check valve to make it safe. It seems to lose it’s grip when caring long distances. Thanks for checking out the video.😁👍🚜💨🍳
