What are you hoping for or asking for Christmas?

[MossRoad]

All I want for Christmas is my two front teef, my two front teef, my two front teef. All I want for Christmas is my...

Don't know why that came to mind. Now I can't get it out.

I'm 70 and still have most of my originals. :laughing:

What did you get? Have you been holding back on us? If there are no pictures, it never happened. (Weren't you the member who posted earlier this year about breaking yours?)

Nope.....I did not break a grapple,... because I have never had one!
I have been toying with the grapple issue for a year.
Did I really need one? No! Did I want one? Yes!
Finally on my 80th birthday, last month, I decided...I am going to get one.

My L48TLB would look great with an EA grapple, but EA does not build a grapple that would be suitable for my needs.
In fact there are only one or two mfg's who make what I want.

I want a 60" wide, single lid grapple with long bottom tines (not connected across) with a top that can open very wide (52")
I found it earlier, and finally ordered it last week.
Mid-State Attachments..... 60" E-Series root rake.
A grapple arrived, but it was the wrong one.
Manufacturer screwed up shipping, and correct one is now due to arrive tomorrow.

Mfg. is Mid-State Attachments in Denton, NC.
Very nice folks on the phone, and the grapple that I refused was a well built attachment.

I need to rip bittersweet vines out of holly bushes/trees (up to 20ft.), plus gather, and carry small brush piles.
I am thinking the Mid-State Attachments E-Series root rake will be perfect for my needs.

It actually hasn't "happened" yet, and the storm has apparently hit big, South of here.....but tracking shows.... tomorrow??

Nothing there. All I see is a blank posting area. :confused3:

Bummer. It's the song you mentioned.

Thatç—´ sad. Just sad.

Nope. One big bawhump and all problems solved, peace on Earth. Or maybe pieces of Earth.

I used to dream of no national debt. That dream ended several years ago.
The business loans the govt has been giving out for COVID, don稚 have to be paid back.

I know a few who got one of those loans... Nothing more than a windfall... My banker called me and asked if I wanted one.... I said I didn't need it... He said that didn't matter... I said No thank you...

Is there supposed to be a link or something? On sites that use Java Script to present in-line video, my security software blocks that. Too dangerous in this day and age. And I can't seem to let individual sites through. Oh well.

Here's a screen capture of what your post looks like to me.

Sorry, I had you confused with somebody else. You say you don't need it now, yet once you start using it you will find it's one of the handiest tools your tractor has.
