      BIG DAVE

      💪 BIG DAVE REVIEW: WHAT GRAPPLE WIDTH SHOULD I PURCHASE?

      This is one of those decisions that seems simple… until you get it wrong.

      👉 Too small = wasted time
      👉 Too big = overloaded machine

      Let’s get it right the first time.


      📏 WHAT WIDTH GRAPPLE SHOULD YOU BUY?

      Big Dave Rule:

      👉 Go wider than your machine

      • Covers your tracks
      • Makes cleaner passes
      • Moves more material per trip

      BUT HERE’S THE REAL WORLD TRUTH

      👉 Width = capacity
      👉 Capacity = weight

      And weight is what gets you in trouble.


      ⚖️ MATCH YOUR GRAPPLE TO YOUR MATERIAL

      🌲 Lighter Material (Go Wider)

      • Brush
      • Logs
      • Limbs
      • Storm debris

      👉 Wider grapple = faster work, easier handling


      🪨 Heavy Material (Be Careful)

      • Rocks
      • Wet dirt
      • Demolition debris

      👉 Too wide = you overload your machine FAST


      🧠 BIG DAVE TIP:

      Before you buy:

      ✔ Check your ROC (rated operating capacity)
      ✔ Add grapple weight + material weight
      ✔ Compare to tipping load

      👉 If you're close to the limit—size down


      🔩 V40 vs V50 GRAPPLES — WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

      They look similar, but they’re built for different levels of work.

      V40:

      • Lighter duty
      • Wider tine spacing
      • Great for brush and general cleanup

      V50:

      • Heavier build
      • More steel in key areas
      • Designed for tougher, daily contractor use

      👉 Both use Grade 50 steel and carry a 1-year warranty


      📏 TINE SPACING — WHY IT MATTERS

      V40:

      👉 8.5"–8.9" spacing

      • Lets dirt fall through
      • Best for brush, logs, debris

      V50:

      👉 5.5" spacing

      • Holds smaller material
      • Better for rocks and mixed loads

      🔧 WHAT IS A 2-CYLINDER INDEPENDENT GRAPPLE?

      This is a big deal—and a must-have in my opinion.

      How it works:

      • Two jaws
      • Two cylinders
      • Each side moves independently

      WHY IT MATTERS

      When you're grabbing:

      • Uneven loads
      • Logs stacked weird
      • Mixed debris

      👉 Both jaws clamp down individually

      Result:

      ✔ Better grip
      ✔ More control
      ✔ Less shifting
      ✔ Safer transport


      🛡️ SHOULD YOU ORDER CYLINDER GUARDS?

      👉 YES. No question.

      This is cheap insurance.

      They protect:

      • Cylinder rods
      • Hydraulic fittings
      • From falling debris
      • From dirt and damage

      Big Dave Reality:

      👉 One hit to a cylinder costs way more than guards.


      🧠 BIG DAVE TAKEAWAY

      ✔ Wider is better—until it’s too heavy
      ✔ Match your grapple to your material AND machine
      ✔ Independent jaws = way better control
      ✔ Cylinder guards = don’t skip them


      🔥 FINAL WORD

      A grapple is one of the most used attachments you’ll own.

      Get the size right and you’ll:
      ✔ Work faster
      ✔ Carry more
      ✔ Stay productive

      Get it wrong and:
      ❌ You’ll fight your machine
      ❌ Lose efficiency
      ❌ Risk damage

      👉 Buy smart. Size it right. Get to work.

      Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
      Format: Kindle
      4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

      Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
      Format: Kindle
      The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

      Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
      Format: Kindle
      Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

      “My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
      Format: Kindle
      3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!
