Easiest way to pull ground rod? Firewood, tractors, brush and beautiful farm fun!

What happens here

Utilize the tractor's front-mounted grapple attachment to efficiently gather and move large logs and substantial piles of brush. Approach the debris carefully, closing the grapple around as much material as the tractor can safely handle. Lift the material and transport it to a designated disposal area. In this video, the logs are transported to a neighbor's property for their outdoor wood boiler, demonstrating efficient resource management and a thorough clearing process vital for a stable sub-base.

Goal: Large logs and brush piles are systematically cleared from the prospective driveway area using the tractor's grapple attachment.
