Color options of course!!! After a few years of arguing solid colors that we can then go to two tone grapples. Do I get a black lower with the tractor color lids? Do I get both lids the same color or... you get the idea!

Haha I'm pretty boring. Everything is Orange. You know it was funny when I put my rake on and sent pics to Travis he had to do a double take. Told me not too many people ask for the rakes and boxblade to go out Orange and it threw him off. Then he saw the big EA stickers of course!

I love these tools. My good friend just bought an MX5200 gear and plain. They threw in a boxblade that reaches about midway across the rears. His machine is much larger and cost more but by the stats I've got more lift front and back and my flow is >14 where his is 9. With part of the difference in price I got a rubber floor mat, a roof, dual remotes, quick hitch, and wr long third function installed along with my rake, bb, 72"cutter, and my narrow Wicked Grapple

Pics to follow in several weeks...take your time EA, I can wait for your class of workmanship. No one down here on the coast is aware of EA that Ive seen so I've become known as the guy that buys stuff no one knows about. Not one person is underwhelmed when they see my implements and I might be the only person in Matagorda County with a DK Kioti.

If I knew how I'd try to paint the Grapple range too!

Lighter didn't win. Weight difference is nil. Saying that a few pounds makes any real world difference is pointless. Spend that internet arguing time learning to be a better operator will net you a significant real world difference. Case is closed.

"Spend all that Internet arguing time learning to be a better operator???" Pretty cocky advice from someone who hasn't even taken delivery of his grapple yet.

Makes you wonder why EA goes to the trouble of "racecar design" on their tines to lower the weight of their grapples by 20 lbs if 40-50lbs makes no difference.

As pointed out before, a loss of 50-75 lbs lift capacity is no biggie with a large tractor or skidsteer. For someone operating a medium or small CUT it amounts to 5+% of lift capacity. Certainly a consideration in addition to added cost for ??? benefit over single lid.

And, we're still all waiting for that list of dissatisfied single lid owners....you did do your homework before deciding on the double right?

Danny from Mississippi sure knows just how to show off the 66" Dual Lid Wicked Grapple on his Kubota L3240.
