JD X739 Easy(lazy) tree cleanup with the grapple

[@petermarte70]

Love the new grapple. AWESOME.

Pete's Green Machine Thanks buddy! Long time, no hear. That thing has been awesome. I’ve started cutting down that row of white pines and hauling the branches and stumps to the woods. I can’t believe some of the logs this grapple picks up. Gotta be close to 600lbs. How’s the BX been treating you? You’ve really been tricking that thing out. Looks like fun!

@@jonah327 BX has been great after all the bugs have been ironed out. It really is a pocket knife for me to get things done around the house without killing myself. I missed the X739, but the BX is what I needed. If I still had the JD i would of gotten that grapple lol. Its nice.

cool video. I thought about giving it a thumbs down since you FAILED to demonstrate proper use of the beer holder, but since I never saw an X700 series tractor with a grapple, I decided to overlook this deficiency THIS TIME.

[@jonah327]

mrbubetube Ha! Thanks man. Lesson learned. I won’t disappoint next time.

Nice video. I have a X758, how do you like your cab and where did you get it?

[@jonah327]

Thanks! Got the cab at the dealer with the tractor. It was about $550 at the time. The cab is better than being out in the wind and having snow blow back at you, but wish there was a wiper for the front windshield. I added a little buddy propane heater to keep it a little warmer, but had to disable the auto shutoff switch.

I’m on the verge of buying the grapple for my x758. How do you like it so far? I have a lot of brush and trees to clean up.

[@jonah327]

JP I find it pretty useful as I have 50 white pines on my property line which love to dump huge branches and sometimes the tree itself during storms throughout the year. The only issue you would have would be transporting long items that might scar the grass because you don’t get much lift off the ground. It really has been a back saver and not being able to get a front loader to switch of the bucket for a grapple, it does very well. You can probably lift 500-550lbs. Thanks for watching!

Hi, do you regret buying gas vs diesel?

[@jonah327]

Sometimes. The power is fine, never had an issue with that. It is a gas hog though. And Diesel engines sound way nicer.
