The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!!!

[ProjectKing]

Just posted a new video of my wicked grapple clean up tree debris and logs from this past winter.

I did no hand moving of the brush and logs. I cut trees down and limbs off.... then removed limbs and tops from the logs with saw. Using the grapple I then sorted it all into piles. Sure beats doing it by hand!!

Very nice footage, PK!! Thanks for sharing, sir.

Wow!

That’s gonna eat into the profits. I’ve heard steel has already gone up 40% in price since tariffs. Not sure if that’s true or not.

Hope you all do okay.

Thanks! Yeah, we're holding steady at present and hoping for the best moving forward.

You know it's hard for me to post a comment without a pic, so here's a B2650 getting it done with a Wicked 50!!

I don't mind doing a little hand-work with the brush/logs... I trim the trees-trunks and stack the brush in piles alternating butt/brush-ends essentially combining two opposing brush piles into one (kinda like shuffling cards) with all the butts IN and all the brush OUT... I can grab/move more brush cleanly and with the dual-lid I usually end-up grabbing one pile under each lid... The only problem with this method is that you must have a WIDE road/path because the brush sticks-out of the sides of the grapple quite a ways... I do something similar with the logs... A little hand-work/organization makes the job go a little quicker/cleaner, is easier on the machinery/implements and gives me good control at the burn-pile (IE the brush falls out of the grapple into the fire better)... Pics attached...

We cut down/removed/chipped/burned 28 trees in 3 days (20 live oaks/8 long-leaf-pines) between 14" and 42" diameter... Could not have done it without my EA Wicked 66" dual-lid Grapple bucket (and a little help from my friends)... (Notice the EA 75 HP/3" bush-hog that also got a workout)...

You certainly have some Wicked Workhorses on your hands. How many crew members did you have on the job?

[LiveDog]

YUP... Gotta say a real good crew... There were four of us... Heat index was well over 100* all 3 days...

Wow. I have a hard time enjoying vacation down in FL because of the heat. Work must be worse than that. :laughing:

"Who says Wicked Grapples can't be used for house cleaning?" says Robert in Maryland. He has a 66" dual lid Wicked Grapple on his Kubota L3200 and frequently shows it off in the EA Channel Group.

I think this is pretty fitting... :laughing:

I wanted to move a firewood shack. The optimal machine to do it with would be a forklift. I don't have one, nor do I have FEL (or 3pt) forks. After some thought I came up with yet another use for my wicked root grapple.

Kane from Tennessee has a 66" dual lid Wicked Grapple on his Kioti CK4010.

"One thing I never had before: "why-not limbs". Before, there were never limbs that I would drag my polesaw out to cut if it was out of the way or not convenient. Now, with the wicked grapple, if you see something, you just go for it! There's no question or sigh. You bump the throttle and pedal to the metal and go for it!"

It also has an appetite for those TN taters! :laughing:

Cleared out 20 trees today. Did not get many good pics though
