Has anyone tried the Brush Crusher BC-4200 and what did you think of it?
Looks like Westendorf improved them with the Cross Bar. With that Improvement I Might consider a set now. They Have had the Brush Crusher out for a few Years Now. A farmer down the road from Me has a set for a Year or so I think it's a BC 500 Model :flag_of_truce:vt2305 - THANKS for pointing out that other video. I didn't see it.

This seems like a better design with the crossbar. Watching the first video, I don't understand how over time the small factory rod that spans between the quick attachments on the loader wouldn't get bent when picking up tapered loads. With the crossbar, the cylinders stay matched, and I would think that the small factory bar that spans between them would be much less likely to be twisted out of straight.Looks like Westendorf improved them with the Cross Bar.

I dig, scoop, wrench and pry with my grapple... I also like nay, need to have fine enough control over it to pick one branch/log from a pile of them, or from some brush. Alternatively I also like to go into a log pile and grab as many as I can. A hydraulic grapple is the only way I can go that-the Westendorf can’t do many of those functions.I agree with that, one thing I noticed is the lift height is severely limited, and its design forces the load to be carried higher. I could see it being very touch and go if your property is uneven or steep. Being able to roll a traditional grapple up and carry the load lower is a huge advantage.
I looked at these at the 2018 NFMS in Louisville.Has anyone tried the Brush Crusher BC-4200 and what did you think of it?
