Best Skid steer attachment ever made. Its replaced our mini excavator for Demolition jobs

What happens here

Begin by securely attaching the Daniels Manufacturing grapple to the Bobcat S185 Skid Steer Loader. This involves aligning the grapple's pin locations with the skid steer's quick-attach system and securing them with pins. Next, connect the grapple's hydraulic lines to the auxiliary hydraulic ports of the skid steer to enable its clamping function. Once attached, conduct an initial assessment of the grapple's capabilities, recognizing its potential for diverse applications such as demolition, excavation, and handling heavy objects.

Goal: Prepare the skid steer with the grapple and understand its primary uses and benefits.
