Fork with Grapple is a far better tool than the Log fork for Tractor forestry

[Waggy]

It's similar to the strong skid steer log forks and much more stable than the so called tractor "Log fork" in handling a very long heavy log.

You can tilt it 90 degrees down like the so called "Log fork", but it doesn't handle an individual thin log as well, however you can tilt it more than 90 degrees down and use it to "comb" small thin logs together to pick them up like the big front loader would do horizontally but with much greater ease since you do it vertically.

Since discovering the power of the Fork with Grapple I don't see the point of the official "Log fork" anymore... it's inferior in every way, unless all you want to do is cut a single thin tree down and that's it.

I see there's a new log fork out on the mod hub, it's got 2 arms that clamp and release. Didn't get chance to try it out tonight but might be good?

What are we calling the "fork with grapple"? I'm sorry but it isn't clear what you are talking about.

That's the in-game name of the thing, under "Front Loader" category. Try it if you haven't, it's the best non-mod tool you'll find.

That's a manure fork. You use that for forestry? There is no reason you can't, I just find that interesting.

It's so good it can do both jobs, so you save on having to buy a manure fork or a log fork. Just use the thing for both, or just buy two of them, or buy 10 of them, one in every color. :D

This thing is the swiss army knife of tractor front loader equipment. I just used it to load a stump grinder on top of a bale trailer for transport.

Well, I prefer to be more realistic when I can, so I'll stick with the log fork. But to be honest, I got my Thrustmaster T.Flight configured for crane arm usage now and the Buffalo is where the real logging is at once you do that.

Its actually really nice, wish we could get one for the wheel loader. I'd recommend it.

you taking the timber to the mill or chipping?
