Overview

This is a real-work demolition video, not a grapple review: Bill uses an Everything Attachments grapple on his John Deere 2038R to tear down a stubborn outbuilding, showing how the machine handles awkward pulling, debris moving, and tight maneuvering near a retaining wall. He briefly endorses the single-jaw grapple over doubles but doesn't cover specs or pricing. Best for owners curious how a compact utility tractor and grapple perform in messy, real-world demo work.

Posted by the Bill Burkhart channel, an owner-operator sharing hands-on footage from his own property-based projects.
