What is the weight savings on the 54" with lighter v. heavier steel?

EverythingAttachments · Apr 11, 2013

It's about 25 pounds. That may not seem like much but every little bit helps when it comes to agility and maneuverability.

Tim, since you quoted me, I'll give you a reply. I have a 32 hp and think a 54" is plenty for the tractor to lift. But I have not owned one yet. Apparently, EA thinks the same.

I have a JD 3320 with 300CX loader. Would I be looking at the 54" or 60" loader? Also, has there been a change in the steel used on these?

Is the weight listed for the 54" for the UL version?

EverythingAttachments · Apr 11, 2013

No, the listed weight is for the heavier version. We do not have the ultra light weight updated yet.

ken999 · Apr 11, 2013

Rr....UL should be 340 ish.

Called and talked with Travis just before they closed. He stayed late to answer all my questions and explained why he felt the 54" ultra light was a better solution for my tractor. I'm happy to say that my order is placed and I'm excited for it to arrive so I can get to work!

Thanks Tim! I can't wait to see it on that JD. That will be a perfect combo.:thumbsup:

Travis/Ted, I saw several posts on various EA threads requesting a 48" grapple with a single gripper rather than the double grippers you have been building. Is there any consideration in building such a 48"?

EverythingAttachments · Apr 15, 2013

Ted did think about designing one but the majority of customers wanting 48" grapples have small tractors generally without quick attach and he isn't interested in doing any custom mounts at this time.
Most customers i've talked to prefer the double lid design, especially with our 54" Wicked Grapple being as light as it is.
I wouldn't totally count the 48" out for the future, but the next grapple out of our factory will be a C shaped grapple rake like the Bradco Compact Root Rake. It was supposed to be designed and on the market already but has been pushed back because we've been so busy this spring.

IXLR8 · Apr 15, 2013

Thanks for the reply. I understand about not wanting to make custom mounts. I already have a SS QA, which is one of the reasons for wanting the 48". For my tractor the QA takes up some of my lift capacity so I was looking for something as light as possible. I will see what you come up with in the future, I am not in a hurry.

What size tractor is this new grapple going to be rated for? I am looking for that style grapple but the link you gave said it was rated for up to a 55 hp tractor.

I like the price of the wicked grapple but not sure what tractor it is rated for. Or should I be looking at the heavier duty Bradco units?

Thanks!

EverythingAttachments · Apr 15, 2013

The Wicked Grapple as well as the Rake Style C shaped grapple that we'll make in the future are both rated for tractors up to around 55hp. For larger tractors, we offer the Construction Attachments Xtreme Duty grapple and the WR Long OBG2(lift cap. up to 2,200 pounds) and OBG1(up to 3,500 pounds) grapples. Here are all of the Tractor Root Grapples that we offer.

I will probably go with the WR Long RBDG 84, it's the style I want. Thanks for your time.

I plan on purchasing a "C" shaped grapple in the near future. I am currently recovering from a smashed foot and it has given me time to think about good grapple designs. I have used a flat bottom grapple and a "C" shaped on different equipment, 30 years in the tree business. I prefer the "C" shaped.

Traditionally "C" shaped grapples have one long top grapple. this is to allow back dragging. I like the flexibility and of twin top grapples to better grab material. Wondered if there was any way to incorporate a twin top grapple into a "C" shaped grapple design. Of course this may add tothe cost but may make a great product.

That was mentioned in another thread and Ted likes the idea. I think he plans to design our C shaped grapple rake so you can use it with twin grapple lids and also have the option of pinning them together as one solid lid.

I have a question about tractor size and your implements.

I have a Mahindra 2516 25hp and with loader and loaded tires it's around 2500lbs I believe. The width from the outside to outside back tires is 54.3 inches.

I'm looking at a few implements from your site: your extreme duty disk harrow,root rake,cultipacker and brush hog. The harrow, root rake2.0 and cultipacker are the ones you build, and I'm looking at the Cain brush hog.
My question is what size in each of these implements will fit my tractor without beating it up?

Thanks

I would go with 60" in each of those attachments. You can use the Xtreme angle iron harrow with 16" or 18" blades which is wider than 60" but will be fine. If you want the heavier Xtreme box frame harrow with adjustable gangs, i'd stick with the 16" blades for your tractor.
