Everything Attachments Wicked Grapple Build

[crazyal]

It's possible that being spring/ early summer they are just too busy to work out all the details. I would expect to hear more about this in the fall or early winter.

Yea, it's on the far back burner because we're doing our best to keep up with orders as it is. Something new like this would take a tremendous amount of time and planning to do it right. It would also require someone on the phone constantly for customer service/troubleshooting/assistance with the kits.

I made a video of the tractor/grapple in action. It is not the best quality since I used my phone to make it.

Roger,

A thing you might try when you have a lot of brush or limbs to move is to make large piles, maybe 2 or 3 times the size that you think the grapple could ever get its jaws around. Then, instead of just clamping down on a big bite, or compressing straight down on the pile before the bite, try rolling the whole pile forward, or backward, or both, while keeping a little down pressure on the pile. This rolls the oversized pile up tightly, breaking the side limbs that keep it fluffy. End result is you get most or all of that large pile in one trip, and a bonus of more limbs into each truckload, if you're hauling it.

Sorry of you already knew that and were just prolonging your entertainment!

John,
Whether he knew or not, good tip for those of us that didn't. Thanks!

I could not get into this brush easily to make 1 pile. When I have a big pile I push into it as hard as I can to get a bite. That is what I did here.

(I already posted this pic in this thread)


I pushed out 4 trees with the tractor and took cut down 2 there. I also cut a few big limbs off some trees and worked the up there. This was just a little bit of what was left from the limbs and a a couple of tops.

Here are the trees I took out

Looks good Roger! I'm assuming that life is better with a grapple.

Thanks. I love the grapple. It has already saved me a lot of time.

Have you guys decided when the narrow single lid grapple will be on line and ready to order?

ETA 50" Single Lid Wicked Grapple
We just made it available online. We don't have any pics available yet and the write-up needs tweaking but it's a start. I did already sell a couple last week!
Last week, I started a TBN thread on the new Wicked Grapple.

By tweaking I suppose you mean changing "bucket" to "grapple".

From the Website:
Everything Attachments Single Lid Compact Utility Wicked Root Grapple

The 50" root grapple weighs less than 300 lbs. and has a single lid. Compact tractors up to 35 HP will benefit from this grapple and have the ability to use most of their lift capacity for material instead of a large heavy bucket. The weight of the bucket can be lowered further by removing the standard slats.

It looks like a gooder-un! :thumbsup:

Now tell me, why do you cut all those holes ? dont know if you laser or plasma, but when i was at the laser cutting shop, for every blast through to start a new hole, you could make a foot length of cut in the same time. Looks like you could cheapen it up quite a bunch by leaving a few pounds extra on it...

 

[EverythingAttachments]

When we design and build an attachment, cost is not top priority. Quality and value is.
There are manufacturers and customers that put less emphasis on quality, but we are just not into that.

The holes are cut with our laser and it results in less weight(very important) and it also looks cool(not that important but it worked out that way).

 

[Renze]

That might work in the consumer market, but when people are using equipment to make a living, value for money becomes top priority instead of quality and value...

Value, at least to me, means "value for money" which is one of our top priorities.
Here is a quote from our homepage:
"The bitterness of poor quality and lack of customer service lingers long after the sweetness of cheap price is forgotten."

Every extra pound of unneeded steel is that much less you can lift. When you have a skid steer or large tractor it's not a big deal. But when your tractor is a CUT weight matters a lot.
