Overview
This episode follows the owner using a John Deere 2038R with two different grapples to harvest rocks from a hillside for an unannounced future project. It's a real working session, not a demo, you see genuine terrain challenges, tractor bottoming-out concerns, and an honest comparison of grapple clamping force. Most useful for 2038R owners curious about grapple performance under load with heavy rocks.
An owner-operator channel that documents daily equipment use on their own property, so expect candid, unscripted impressions rather than a polished or sales-oriented presentation.
