Broke in the new Bobcat grapple today, what a blast

[JenniferKubotaM62]

A little local store that helps the community was needing a lot cleared behind the store for a flea market they're putting on.... I had the time and equip so volunteered to do it for them... was a lot of fun and got a chance to use the new (new to me) Bobcat grapple, it sure made quick work of that pile of Joshua trees..... grabbed some groceries on the way out, this town has lots of people who use ATV's to go get the mail and grocery store but this was the first time anyone showed up in a tractor... LOL

Equip used was the M62 of course, Bobcat 62" grapple, Land Pride 84" box blade and a 6' land rake.

I agree, wow!

I've not seen a Joshua tree in person. Are they prickly like a cactus and cause flat tires?

WOW! that came out awesome, the M62 TLB is no joke! Nice job!

That looks like it was WAY too MUCH fun for one day! What a difference from the before/after pics!! I bet the store owner was pretty impressed and happy with that job. Doing something for the community and others always takes the drudgery out of and makes the job much more pleasant, doesn't it? Kudos to you, Jen!!

Jen,
Outstanding job! Give yourself a pat on the back for volunteering and quality of workmanship with your M62

Great job Jen! I cant even get my wife to sit in the seat!

 

[Jchonline]

Very nice work, and nice gesture to help others out. Bravo.

Yes, the bottom two actually, I guess I should have sorted them, sorry.... and thank you.

Nice! Running a grapple can certainly be considered entertainment. Cool photos. Such a different countryside than I am used to seeing.

OH HELL YEA!!!!!!! And you'll be working under them bring your head up and spike yourself in the head with the spikes and they are NOT as soft as they look, I have a huge dent in the back of the bed on my truck for that exact reason... I didn't see it when i was backing up, they look soft and cuddly.. but they're very much not.... LOL

 

[JenniferKubotaM62]

Great job Jen! I cant even get my wife to sit in the seat!

Not touching that one...

 

[JenniferKubotaM62]

Thank you all... the only thing more rewarding than the volunteer work was your kind words and words of encouragement, thank you all again.

Nice work! How do you discipline yourself to stop and get some pictures? It appears tractoring in not new to you!

Is it socially acceptable to make Godzilla Yumm Yumm Yumm sounds when you're opening and closing the grapple? Asking for a friend.

Of course! No one can hear you over the engine noise anyway.

 

[RCW]

Fantastic! That's a good sized lot.

You did a great job for a great cause.

I just had a geek moment, but the the OP's first pic of the little store reminds me of the one that was in the Tremors movie about the giant underground worms. I think the movie was supposed to be in Nevada.

 

[Lil Foot]

Well done!
I know just where that store is.

I thought the Joshua trees were protected? Or is that only in Ca?
