Never thought of using float...good idea!One thing I didn't see anyone mention is using float mode.
When I'm picking up brush and dead limbs, I'll roll the grapple out a little and just skim the dirt while pushing the junk into a decent pile. Once I've pushed it into a pile, I will float the loader while rolling the grapple out and inching forward. This moved the grapple over top of the pile (think the "claw" machines at the old arcade that grab stuffed animals). Both jaws are on the sides of the pile. Like if you were to pick up a pen from the floor. Float let's the loader articulate as you roll the grapple. I can't find the video I was watching.
Heavier stuff like logs and/ or rocks I'll essentially do the same thing . Once it's grabbed, I'll curl the grapple and bring those pistons in. Stacks of logs I'll run the tines in the dirt under them.
Now, I do have a different grapple with the long lower tines. And, I don't care so much about scars on the woodland dirt. Anyway, someone may have a decent video of what I'm describing.
