Not Cat(erpillar) But (Bob)Cat

We acquired a used Bobcat Toolcat a year ago and have fitted it out with a grapple to assist in managing our acreage (an old Christmas tree farm).  Most of the jack pines that were planted decades ago have or are dying and eventually fall.  We have started prepping an area for replanting and love the grapple.  Here's a few pics and a link a video or two.  The Toolcat Grapple (youtube.com)


 

Those are great machines looks to be very handy

Over the past few weekends, I have been ferrying several loads of retaining wall blocks from a deal I made for "about 200."  Turned out there were more like 350 plus about 35 caps.  The neighbor helped with their Bobcat with forks.  The last load required me borrowing the forks because their machine was unable to perform. The Toolcat picked the pallets effortlessly, though the rear was just a little light.  Instead of chain saws and chains, I should have placed a few blocks back there.
