Larry, This is my current project. Getting to old to wrestel big blocks of wood onto my 3pt splitter. The steel is mostly Kubota crates that I get from my good friend that is a CNH and Kubota dealer. The splitter is a early 80s "American" splitter, built here in Black River NY. It already has lots of my modifications, including the 3pt mounting. The winch is a $80 2000#LP, HF 12V unit. In the foreground you can see a leverarm that I can switch from side to side to manuver the gib, and control the winch when completed. The cherry block is just there to show how the grapple will work. when done one side of the grapple will have a grab handle, and a spring cylinder on it to manuver it onto blocks of wood and hold it there until line pull sets the jaws. Hopefully tomarrow, I will roll it outside and weld all the components together. So far all I have welded is smaller components such as brackets and the boom frame. Loren, the Acg.
