Default Re: CAT 535C Grapple Skidder

I was thinking about your swivel issue on the grapple. I had the same problem on may CAT 345 log loader. What I ended up doing is just building a grapple that opens as wide as possible and is free to swivel on its own. When there is no logs in the grapple I have mine set up so that it goes straight again, there are times when you have to hook one side of the grapple on a log and then move ahead a little to swing the grapple to get it over the log but not often.
