Everything attachments wicked root grapple on LS 4145 Tractor Review

If you have been in the forestry business for some time, you probably already realize that using a standard bucket attachment for hauling debris is a messy task. Of course, you can rake the debris off the ground and move it, but doing that takes a great deal of control, a hefty amount of time and in most cases, produces unsatisfactory results.

The problem with the standard bucket lies in its design. It does well with scooping up fine debris but lacks the ability of gripping large objects, making it useless for other vital applications. Another major drawback of the standard design is that it scrapes off large amounts of top soil during raking, causing vital top soil to be lost in the process. Thankfully, there is a new attachment called a logs with a grapple tractor that offers better performance than its predecessor.
