I received my claw very quickly and was impressed with how robust it is. I've only used it once, but it should hold up well. I might sharpen the points on the jaws, to grab smaller and square pieces, but overall it's a heavy duty material mover.

We just bought land and needed away to move trees that we have cleared on our property. The log hook surprised me at how strong it was effortlessly clamping onto and moving 12 to 16 inch diameter logs well into the thousand pound range. There is one design flaw. It requires either two people to use because you have to disengage the cloth which naturally clamps when lifting I managed to tie a rope to one into the claw and lead it back to my tractor steering wheel, I would just pull on it and it would release the jaw from the log that I was working with. It would be a great addition to add a release strap to the log claw but other than that I’m very impressed and would buy again if needed, but I don’t think I’ll need it. It’s solid steel.

so far so good. handles good size logs and weight seems to not be a problem The swivel is a nice idea for me Good Gerry

Nice item, very heavy duty, but also Very heavy. Worth the money. Some assembly required. But not bad.

Bought and these to load firewood logs into trailers with my utility tractor. They work quite well. Took a little practice to get the logs in the middle or right balance point. Loaded some pretty heavy logs and they heldup fine. Good product for the price.

I haven't used it yet. But it looks like it's made fairly well and it should do what I wanted to do.

Works good only thing so far is bolt holding loop and hook seems to be separating think that is the only weak spot so far

Had to bend the pinchpoints to get to work, however works great

I previously had two single grapples which I affixed to the ends of my front end loader bucket. I lost one of the grapples, and couldn’t find the same size, so this looked like a reasonable replacement. However, it is not well designed—it pivots, so trying to use the grapple to create a deck of logs for my mill it’s hard to get the logs parallel to add to the deck. Also, having two grapples so close together is a head scratcher—it basically can’t do anything a single grapple can. After buying a bunch of additional hardware I was able to create an effective extension of about a foot, which helps some but is far inferior to the 60” bucket grapple-at-each-end system in terms of log control. The extra hardware cost almost as much as the grapple. Then I found my lost single grapple, so this thing has gone to the back of my shop and probably won’t get used again.

It works ok sometimes you have to get out of tractor and place the claws in position cause it exactly won’t get in place but overall ok oh assembly was difficult cause their direction s we’re not very well.
