1/50th Log Loader Excavator Grapple Head

This is a grapple head typically used in logging attached to what is sometimes called a live heel loader head. What this means is the grapple grabs the log and the butt end of the log is pulled up to the teeth at the other end, which allows the loader to pick up, move and set the log where it wants. The head is deisgned to rotate, swing two ways with opening grapple teeth.  The pin material is included, but Please replace them with stronger material such as styrene or brass etc. The piece is desiged to attach to a hydraulic exavator , and depending on which side the cylinder is on, the top or bottom, the mount should attach either way.  As with anything in customizing, there may be some minor modifications to be done.  Any questions or comments, contact me via the designer link or via email to modelmechanic@gmail.com
