What happens here

The operator elaborates on the two main types of grapple attachments used: the MECANIL SG220 Grapple Saw and the MECANIL TG220 Grapple Head. The SG220 is a combined unit that can both grip and cut tree sections, making it ideal for complete ground-based tree dismantling. In contrast, the TG220 Grapple Head is a lighter attachment designed primarily for gripping and manipulating tree sections, often used in conjunction with a climbing arborist or a lift operator.

Goal: Learn the function and specific applications of different grapple attachments.

What they say

Hide

chainsaw. Um, and this one is is a T220, so it's a slightly smaller version, little more lightweight. It articulates and rotates a little bit better, but it only has a grapple head. So, this one would be used for just dismantling trees with a climbing arborist or a lift operator. And this one is used for if you just want to uh dismantle trees on the ground with just a truck. What does a rig like this go for, then?
