Grapple. Single Clamp, or Double Clamp?

Implements & attachments25 hp & underJohn Deere 1025R

Overview

A casual hands-on session where owner Tim and a longtime friend named Levi compare a single-clamp versus double-clamp grapple during real tree-clearing work on wet, muddy ground. The video shows both clamp configurations in actual use, with on-the-fly commentary about clamping pressure and uneven loads. Also includes a tractor comparison segment and a Ventrac demo that dilutes the grapple focus. Best for owners genuinely weighing whether a second clamp is worth it.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator lifestyle channel where Tim shares hands-on project work and experimentation on his own property, with a friendly but non-expert perspective.
