hey spec man ur hard on yourself can u find an old grapple from a log truck there seems to be lots of controlls on the valve bank u could tap in to the cyclinders on the skid are long also may be able to use one for the boom.If the bank is open center u could do all kinds of hook ups.

Man, I'm sitting in a cold house this morning...I had to run Barb to the emergency room again...we didn't get home till 11:50 pm...That mexican flu she came home with is really kickin her arse...they did a CT *scan and a lumbar drain something or other....Hospitals and modern medicine just seem barbaric to me...altho the nurses are nice...they slipped me a couple of pain killers to keep me going for the 13 hours we were there...since I left mine at home... here's the latest ergo pix...

Thanks for the input I have a smaller grapple I have started that will fit into my boiler door...I have the ports and spools off my skidder that has a 6 way bucket you can't see it in the pix but it is there... I already built the fold up ramp on my small trailer to accomodate the minni for wood scooping

Sorry to hear about all your goings-on. Hope life deals you a winning hand soon.

Do you really need a telescoping boom, or can't you put the wood on a pallet that you can just drag back with a strap then pick up? The rest sounds like the Mini Skid...besides, what you have makes such good yard art the way it is

Hey Drak,
I am trying to avoid any climbing onto the truck if I can avoid it
The telescoping boom is fairly easy to build..and the clam seems to be (not giving trouble) so far I'll post pix of the truck that I haul the stuff in...
