BAUMALIGHT MINI SKIDSTEER TRL620D with MARTATCH GRAPPLE 

Kinda cute. So is the machine!

Good evening kev 😊.

I rented a Baumalight mini-skid. Loved it...just wish it came with more counterweight. Nice to see you bringing your merch backpack everywhere you go...never know when you may run into a superfan in the bush! The grapple just looks like it needs to be a bit shorter so the center of gravity isn't so far from the machine (like you said).

I've been running a mini skid this spring for the first time a vermeire. I sure i spelled it wrong. Very impressive machine, it would be interesting to try a dangle head grapple

G day Kevin I told with To by yesterday , he laugh & said u should sent video of it? I see nom what back back is for "counterweight" LOL Some places would a regular bucket with grab on not work just as well in certain spots It work good Ths

I don't know much about these minis but there seems to be 2 sizes of them. The littler ones lift about 1000lbs and bigger models lift closer to 2000lbs. This grapple maybe better for a larger model. Is this the only size model Bama makes right now? IMO...just remove the whole skidding plate, cut the reach arm in about half and it maybe better grapple for this size unit. Have a great week,Kev!

Howdy, Kev. Those are neat machines

Howdy Kev I have been watching Sandy use then he is trying out.. And now Mike Morgan has bought one a different brand but same design.. I think they are very handy and great for certain conditions.. I am very impressed with the lifting capabilities. Do think the added weight on the back would make it better.. Yup they have a learning curve. But like any thing it comes in time.. The grapple is a great addition but like you said for this particular machine it needs to lose a little weight.. Overall I think it would work great as an addition to the equipment arsenal.. Thanks for sharing.. Can’t wait to see more.. Cheers

Looks alkward to me and not a good ride just my opinion keep'em coming Skidder!

Kev be nice pc of equipment for pick up over size cabbage 🥬 in the field for feeding moose these winter ❄️. 😊

Hey Kev thanks for sharing. You have convinced me to buy a Martach grapple for my Kubota svl97-2. I would like to get the track cleats as well but I have not been able to get a hold of anybody over there. can you share a direct phone number for them? Can't wait to see how this mini skid steer works for you over the next six months to a year. keep us posted. Love this channel. keep it up!

Thanks Kev.

Does Baumalight offer a weight kit for the little Skid ?

Hey Kev, neat little grapple. We’ve rented minis before and as capable as they are, they just don’t fit our landscape operation, mostly the lift height. They won’t dump into even our smallest dump truck. However, that grapple mounted to our midi Excavator… I could definitely get some clearing done! We have a hydraulic thumb, but the inability to swivel holds it back a bit. Bless’ns, Tedd

Maybe this is a dumb idea, but it would be interesting to see a mini skid with the operator platform (and controls) able to rotate 180 to allow the operator to face where they're going when yarding out logs.

Customer loaded me with a mini skid a few weeks ago - 5 loads - worked real good - I was doubtful at first but it worked great and the operator made it look easy

Nice product demo 😊
