Ventrac KM500 Loader Removing Trees And Brush!

[@stevekeider7200]

Impressive, the extra height with the loader arms is a game changer compared to bucket grapple. Nice job.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the KM500! It really is a sweet attachment!

@@carlinatkinson5288 I was more tham impressed. I could see myself down the toad getting one if I ever get a 4520.

Thanks for taking time to upload this video. Great demonstration of the loader! Any chance you will get to demo the log grapple in the future?

[@steiger256]

Thanks. I love showing what the Ventrac can do just like you do. I would like to try the log grapple at some point. It may be on my list next year if I have a need to cut more trees. I will try. I would love to be able to do a demo on every Ventrac atrachment to see first hand for myself and show others how well they work. I will see what next year brings. Thanks for ideas.

@@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri They log grapple is cool, But honestly the rock bucket grapple is the best versitile option. I wojld love to drag some logs, But that grapple is really hard to beat. There are uses to both. I would like to have a oppertinity to use the log grapple someday, But the bucket rocked.

@ I think the log grapple would be nice because you could load logs into the back of a dump trailer easier. Stack the logs in there without having to cut them up as much. Save time and labor. Then haul them off and repeat. But I think with brush, you would have to drive up into the back of the dump trailer in order to dump. I don’t know, I would like to demo both for a day and see which is more efficient for small tree work.

That is a game changer. I would have had to cut in much smaller sections with the lifting height of power bucket to avoid dragging and damaging turf.

[@tazmankb26]

Can I use my existing power bucket and grapple on the loader?

[@JohnBraman413]

can you use skid steer quick attach on it?

[@steiger256]

@@JohnBraman413 No. Only Ventrac.

How many pounds of suit case weight did you have on the back for rear ballast.

[@steiger256]

@@jimmcknight3021 If I remember right there were 4 wights plus 6 more on the 3 point hitch. At 42 lbs each that would have been 420 lbs.
