Hello

[Cowboy65_442]

Hello, I am Will and a pretty good handyman that can build most things that I set my mind to accomplish. I just bought a small backhoe and want to build me a front bucket grapple. I have a mig welder but gonna go to Lowes and purchase a Lincoln stick welder so that I can weld much heavier material. I just finished watching the pictures of a gentleman that built his own grapple and interested in plans if someone has already done the work.

Hi Cowboy65_442 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Not sure if there's a set of plans floating around; be sure to try a search for "grapple" - Homemade Tools Search: grapple

Hi Cowboy65_442,

Welcome!

Learning to weld properly has long been on my to-do list. Let us know how you get on with the new stick welding arrangement.
