Using this Blue Diamond Mini Log Grapple is straightforward. First, choose the right model according to your needs, either manual or hydraulic rotation. When attaching it to your skid steer, make sure the quick - attach area is properly secured. When you're moving logs, the serrated brace and quick - attach will help keep the logs stable. The large opening allows you to grab big logs, and the strong clamping force holds them tight.
Some things to keep in mind: Don't overload the grapple. It has a 2,000 lb capacity, so stay within that limit. When using the rotation function, operate it carefully to avoid any sudden movements.
For maintenance, regularly check the heavy - duty welded cylinder for any signs of damage or leaks. Keep the serrated parts clean to ensure good gripping and stabilization. Also, check the rope tie/chain tie - off attach point for any wear and tear.
