This one continues to lose a little paint & the Kubota L2501 continues to impress with the 54" dual lid Wicked Grapple!!

From the customer:

"Your equipment has sure raised my productivity through the roof! This is hard to depict but these were are the very very max of my lift capacity and we're bringing the back off the ground. I'm going with not much under 1000 lbs."

Any chance I could get a Kioti orange 54 to match my new nx5010?

We really only paint the traditional Wicked Grapple in black. It matches everything!!

This is a 66" on the NX5510. Seriously, does anything get much sexier? :eek:

Nice!

Man, you're setting me up big time with that question. There have been multiple all out brawls in this thread over the years spawned from questions like yours!! :laughing:

Reluctantly, I'll offer up my favorite pick, but your application could change it a bit. I'll be more than happy to discuss it over the phone.

Drum roll.................
60" Single Lid Wicked Grapple for Compact Tractors

I'm also not opposed to the 66", as shown on this TBN member's famous NX5510(I just posted another pic of the same tractor).

Well, I'm not really opposed to any size for that matter. :laughing: :laughing:

I got my EA 60" Wicked Grapple today. Only had a couple of hours available to use it but I am in love. Did what used to take half a day in just an hour.

I grabbed my first load - this old dead pine, and moved pile after pile of brush that I had cut a few weeks ago. Didn't take a lot of pix, but have more to do tomorrow when I move the bigger stuff.

I have a similar weight tractor with same loader as on the NX. I'd personally get the 54" and certainly nothing larger than the 60. Single lid of course either way. I'm happy with my 48 which will dig better.

I'm a firm believer in covering one's tracks. When the ground dries up here I'll show why a wider grapple comes in handy for MY use.

Regarding how I managed to snag that stump, it was too big to swallow up with the grapple (couldn't get a good enough bite on it). I pushed it quite a ways (through a wet depression which would have sunk the tractor with that kind of weight on it) and then as I was flipping it it just kind of hooked on the lower tines and when I raised the grapple I'd snagged it; hefted it that way for perhaps 50' (again, keep in mind that I've got a lot of wet ground right now). I'm pretty impressed with the Kioti being able to carry the weight like that: and I didn't have anything on the rear (tires ballasted though)- I'm still trying to decide on a box blade (7' "EA" is at the top of my list of candidates- 1,500 lbs ought to allow me to see how much weight one of these grapples can really handle:D).
