How did you get yours already when I ordered my Wicked 55 on April 23? Mine is SSQA, and I assume yours is the JD version?

I have no idea , I just looked on my invoice , I ordered on
March 28th 2021 , and it came in on the day i posted the pictures.
and yes mine was with John Deer quick couplers. it is the new
design 55 inch Wickeder Root grapple as there calling it. and it looks
very Heavy duty , even more so than the older Design it took almost
5 months to the day i ordered it. I did call Travis every month to see
what number i was on the list , started at 700 and something ,
then 400 and something , then 250 , Then 81 , then the next month , I got an email it had Shipped , they dropped it off truck Freight
3 day's later.....

if you ordered yours on April 23rd , you are a month behind
me , That is why i got mine First , you should get yours
with in the next few weeks.

I ordered my Wicked 55 on April 12th. Got the email from Cole on August 26th that its being prepared for shipping. 20 Weeks. Finally!
According to Estes, it should arrive at the terminal on 9/3. Being a holiday weekend, and trucking shutdown today, that might get pushed back. Point is, it finally got produced! A bit later than the mid-June time frame I was quoted at the time of order, a bit late for my summer projects, but just in time for my fall and winter projects.
I'm going to wait to order my pallet forks from EA until this madness is over. If its years, its years. Maybe I'll find something used between now and then.
Hopefully the other companies I've ordered large ticket items comes though soon.

The EA pallet forks are really very nice!
I suggest waiting for them.

I have several things from both EA and Titan. I got my pallet forks from Titan. EXTREMELY happy with them! I recomend you check them out. I'm not sure but, I think they are made in USA.

Estes says Sacramento on 9/7. Happy birthday to me!

Seldom is that the case. Especially when the 'conditions' are completely artificial, as they are now.

Several contractor friends with open permits only good for 12 months... at a minimum permit fees would be due it also gets dicey should their be code changes that come into play...

OH, I'm not cancelling. I'm too close. Surely you can understand my frustraton though. My money spends just like everyone elses. I ordered the 55 as well so why is someone who ordered 1.5 weeks after I did receiving it first? Just saying.

From the pictures I have seen of their facility and their process I would guess that they are making batches of a particular model or implement and then moving on to a batch of another one oh, so today they might be making grapples, tomorrow they might be making landscape rakes and the day after they might be making box blades.
So if somebody else ordered a box blade it could be done in the box played run that gets done before your grapple run as an example.

I don't know EA's process and I would not think to speak foe them, but I think 1st in 1st out sometimes is going to have exceptions. If I have a high volume or potentially high volume customer, their relationship is more valuable than someone buying 1-4 attachments. As such, those orders will get bumped up. Some people might get but hurt if it happens to them, but every business needs to keep their lights on too. I certainly would understand.

I kinda doubt that EA has many customers buying 4+ attachments at the same time.
I don't see them as having "high volume" customers.
I suspect the majority of their customers buy one, or possibly two, attachments on the same order.
EA production issues are likely primarily supplier related.

...and that high volume = high priority service could also apply to EA's suppliers (and not necessarily to EA's advantage all the time) ...and likewise also apply to the supplier's suppliers all the way back to the companies pulling the raw resources out of the ground or from scrap yards (for recycling).

Though we should probably all be happy there aren't any microchips in these implements. ...

I bought 4 at one time.

I bought 4 at one time.

Probably not a very common type order though.

Someone put a poll up on this thread with one of the questions "Who never called EA after your order?"

The whining and moaning from some of these posts, when EA was clear up front the long lead times and factors out of their control. I would rather pay up front and lock in a price then wait and then possible have to pay hundreds more because of price increase.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I never called, put my order in got email when shipped. No need to call.

Is there an attachment that excels at pulling out shrubs and bushes such as Olive and Rose? I'm envisioning something like a grapple that opened and clamped vertically with tines close together so when clamped could grab on to the stalks near the ground. Maybe a narrow (say 16") QA front bucket or spade. My grapple isn't effective the stalks just slip through the tines so what I am mostly doing is crawling under to get a strap around the base then pulling them out.

4- in -1 bucket, usually used on skid steers.
