Only thing you forgot on the recent service of the TYM tractor was to locate the back up alarm, professionally remove it, and use an 87 pound sledgehammer and smash it into a billion pieces. Place the pieces in a 1500 degree bonfire, never to be seen or HEARD from again. Lol. Thanks for the great vids Evan.

Thank you for sharing this. We are about to get a TYM 474 and a grapple. We can hardly wait.

Slowly, but surely you will get all you need Evan. God is good. God bless.

I can’t tell you how many back breaking man hours that would have saved me in the last 5 years! Enjoy! Will pay for its self one hundred fold

Grapples are so useful on farms. They are useful for things that only a farmer would think of like throwing hay over the fence in to a muddy field.

Mornin Evan your life just got so much easier. Just think if you had a grapple from the start.👍

In a comment session after Josh at Stoney Ridge Farm reviewed a couple of tractors, we got into a discussion of tasks needed, and I mentioned that a grapple would be more handy that a shirt pocket. We have 1200 yards of piles of MF Rose, cedars, and other sprouts along the fence we cleaned out and a grapple would be perfect for consolidating into piles to burn. One thing to consider is breaking the habit of loading it like we’d load a bucket, with the bottom flat to the ground and pushing through to fill. Think about tilting it forward with the jaws open until the rake and the clamp teeth are level, then pushing down to compress the pile and closing the jaws. I think you’ll fill the grapple with more brush, and you can take multiple bites that way. Grab one, pick up, move over another, lower until just above, let the first one go, then push down and grab both bites at once. Give that a try. I don’t know if that would pick up the firewood or not. Maybe after you close the jaws you tilt it back to level the rake would help that. Good purchase for your farm activities.

Another great piece of equipment that is going to save your back. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.

Just purchased a new tractor with a grapple. Such a work saver moving brush, logs, limbs, etc. So useful.

Hi Evan, that grapple attachment is a beast, a real game changer.

Wow! I'll bet we are all wishing you had gotten that rig about three years ago! My back feels better already! :-)

Good morning Evan. What a beautiful day

The grapple is a great tool. Use mine all the time.

Good morning Evan, you’re going to really enjoy the grapple once you get it figured out totally ! It’s going to be a great help around there. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

You are going to love that grapple. I have one on a Bobcat skid loader that I use quite a bit. Of course, I am still clearing areas of my property so I use it often. I can root up and pull out small trees and brush with ease. As with any other equipment, it takes practice and time to learn how to use it efficiently. I'm still learning new "tricks" with mine.

I like your content as it’s real and addresses everyday farm issues.

From my experience I have one thing I’ve noticed.. don’t clamp the grapple tight before you unhook. I have found that it pressurizes the line and can make hooking it up the next time more difficult and messier with dripping fluid

The best thing I've found a use for the grapple is barn cleanup. We shovel the barn out in front then drive the tractor into the pile and grab it to move it.

You inspired me to start organizing my tools. Thank You!

Looking forward to see all you can do with it 👍 Thanks for sharing

Boys, that sure makes cleanups easy,and it looks like it's fun.

So glad you got your grapple! That works amazing!

Evan, another great video, have a blessed day and be SAFE.👏🚜

Hey Evan. Glad to see the new video. I sure like that TYM!!!! I think that you are going to be surprised at how many ways you will be able to use that grapple. Keep up the good work... really enjoy your videos

That looks like a handy dandy tool. Good for you. Should be a game changer

Hi, Evan! This grapple hook is a real time saver!

Good job! Anticipating a bon fire...🔥 😊

I have 3 of them they all work great you’ll love yours you’ll get a lot of use out of it I do

Thanks for the update

Evan its gonna be great for fall. Great video..

you need to look into an equalizer valve for the grapple. Equal movement until preset pressure reached , then override.

Great timing, I ordered the exact same thing a couple of weeks ago. Just bought my tractor and going to pick it up today actually. I went ahead and ordered the grapple (after much searching and pain and turmoil - lol) since I knew it would be a few weeks before it would come in. I was able to specify which couplers it needed to come with so kind of surprised you weren't able to. Guess it just depends on who you order it from. It's great to hear an opinion from someone who is about at my level as far as tractor knowledge... well, you do have more experience than me.. for the moment at least.. lol.. Thanks! Just hit the subscribe button btw.

Hi Evan , looking forward to seeing you clean up with your new toy...great job with it so far and I know you will like it a lot .. nice video... great job 👍

That's going to be very handy Even.

Love the grapple. They are so handy.

You might want to consider welding some expanded metal to your grill guard and provide some protection to the front of your tractor. The cost will be less than the cost of replacing the front cowling and and any radiators damaged by a stick going through the grill.

Wish i had $1 for everytime he says tractor in all his videos seems its his favorite word

Big boys toys...love getting new ones :-) That grapple should be really helpful round the property. Enjoy and thanks for sharing your experience Evan.

Looks like this new "tool" will be most useful. You will get a lot of use out of it.

Evan you will really get a lot of good use with the grapple, save the ole back for sure. Good job finding those adapters .

Much agreed on the joy stick direction.

Grapples are amazing! I love mine!

Looks like the way to go, nice

Thank you for sharing.

Round bales, fence post and lumber you’ll make your money back with that attachment quick.

Congrats Evan. I have a bad back and this should help on wear and tear on your back.

Doesn't it always start to rain on an outside project, especially when you trying to do a video. LOL Make clean up so much easier with that grapple. I am seeing more and more TYM tractors being used on farms and homesteads. Might have to look into a smaller one for our use.

Great buy!

Will be a very helpful tool.

Good video. Like the Star Wars shirt

Nice addition .

The grapple looks great! Hopefully my mini grapple for my subcompact Tractor will arrive soon. I've been waiting almost 8 weeks now, but such is life these days.

It helps to grab more by tilting the grapple forward just before grappling

Grapples are awesome!

Always watch a video right to the end! That made me laugh!

game changer

Roll forward when you are ready to close as you are still going ahead will pick up more. Just a little

looks like you are a natural on that grapple Evan...

That will be great for thorn trees

I love mine I use it a lot around my place

Instead of switching the hydraulic connectors maybe take a look inside your joystick and see if you can switch the wires around on the toggle switch. That way it’ll work “backwards”. If you switch the hydraulic connectors you’ll have to do that for everything that uses the third function. Switching the wires will make it work the same way for everything.

before you switch the connectors you should be able to switch it from the control in the cab.

Nice job. Much better with that than my first try. How about a garden update!

Great addition. One more addition to your equipment line I would suggest is buying a good used haybine. It will eliminate a lot of your head aches you had cutting hay with a sickle mower.

...lookin' good, should get 'er done. stay safe,,,

That’s a lot of grapple!😊

On the most recent video at Fall Line Ridge he used the grappling hooks to lift his old tractor to fix a front tyre! 😀 Seems there are many and varied uses.

Great videos. You should watch Outdoors With the Morgans to see how he works the grapple

I would love to have a toy like that

I like the pins on the grapple. Seems like the grapple jaws could be removed easily now in case you want just the rake feature alone without the jaws getting bound up in whatever your are pushing with the rake.

Hi Evan , have a feeling your leaning toward full time farming when you retire with amount of attachments you’ve accumulated. Be careful you may get what you wish for. 80 hour work weeks. I noticed on your burn 🔥 pile a pallet. I dig a hole in burn pile and put anything with nails into hole to prevent flats in It ,you can also use magnet 🧲 to retrieve later Vert expensive fixing filled tractor tire flats last time a service call was $900 on my big tractor 🚜

Good attachment Evan. Worth the wait and less manual work. Thanks for the video. When’s the second cut of your hay field gonna happen?

0:17 how not to take off attachment. Nice grapple

I be like, I need that 😍

I would recommend running at a higher rpm. When using the grapple even when you feel like you are putting to much power to them they just work better that way.

The claw grapple

You did a job for time use

Flip youre hoses around & youre hoses will be the way you want them!..Very Easy Fix !!

Just wondering Evan if you have a control switch over (normal around the seat area) to change the control system type. At least that's where it is on my machine lol

If you’re wanting to pick up firewood rounds, position the grapple like a claw machine at an arcade.come at the pile from the top instead at straight at it from the side.

Seems you are having quite a wet summer this year. How are the vegetables doing?

I had to swap the couplings on my hydraulic hoses also. Now On my toggle switch up Open and down is closed

Was surprised to hear your reasoning for wanting a grapple that clamps down tighter than the ones that leave a big hole. The big hole allows you to grapple around a large log/tree, plus compress and pick up a LOT more brush at one time. This is almost entirely what I use mine for, and I'm considering making new grapple clamps that are arched so I can create an even larger opening when they are closed. Being able to carry almost twice the amount of brush would cut down on a LOT of traveling time and overall time it takes to clean up areas. BTW, does that unit have grease fittings? That single really long pin/hinge for the clamps is the first one of those I've seen.

Hi...... Evan nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken Duck Goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐐🐖🐄🌱🌺🌹🌷🍀🐠🏡🎥👍👍👍

Why do you not feed your goats with all the leaves you get when cutting branches. It is among the best feed for goats. AND chickens.

God bless the rich

I'm very happy for you BUT !!!!!

If you are lucky and follow your hoses back you may find another place the hoses are coupled and hopefully both male or both female at that point and you can just swap the hoses there rather than swap your couplers up front.

Please don’t burn those pallets in Your burn pile, there’s some good wood in them.

that is going to save your back and alot of time!!!

When are you going to fix the wood shed

That looked fun?

I think you might have better success using your grapple if you changed the method of pick-up. After pushing your pile together, position the grapple claws above the pile and then grasp the pile.

I just noticed all you need is a combine of any type and you can do grains like oats,wheat,barley maybe some beans for the pigs.

U gonna make second crop anytime soon?

Evan, you may have covered this on your shop build videos but what size of roll up doors are on your shop... TY

Swap the fittings

👍👍💓

🙂👍

inside job to do???? oh, swap grapple hose ends.
