Status of Everything Attachments

I haven't read the whole thread, But what i have gathered is that EA was heavily in debt and has closed. That's unfortunate, I believe they made quality products that many here have benefited from. I also feel for the employees of EA who are now out of a job.
I would bet those people are highly skilled fabricators and all have new jobs by now.

Just heard from my credit card company and they have made my credits permanent ($2800 for aerator, $1800 for box blade). Kudos to the CC company because one of my disputes was made at about 190 days. I really wanted that 3-point dual-depth aerator because there is nothing else like it that I can find. Anyways, for a bit more, I purchased a Bobcat AE36 tow-behind (formerly a Ryan AE36). I wanted the 3-point but the tow behind will actually be better in the long run as I can pull it with my zero-turn.

Summary: Ted F'd me, but CC company took care of me. And I still want my damn free T-shirt Travis promised me.

Do you think the credit card companies hold $$ back from the merchant as any potential problems began to unfold? So now they have a little to offset claims?

credit card processor's have always had a hold back to deal with returns etc... it just extends if you start getting chargebacks, then you go into suspension.

It's interesting why there aren't more EA ex-employees on this thread telling us their story.

Maybe they were told that if they didn't have anything good to say about Ted, they shouldn't say anything at all. 🔭

Be careful who you lump into this mess. Ted is as crooked as can be and has been most of his life. From everybody I have talked with, his brother Charles is as honest as they come. I have no idea on the son.
Is this something that was just learned? Why were there no discussions about this a couple years ago? It seemed like EA could do no wrong and that they were good people until recently.

Man, if they would have said anything bad about EA they would have been bashed into the dirt, EA had to fold to make this discussion possible.

Yea, I've never seen a place with such a cult following as that place had. If Ted flew in without getting his cape wrapped around his neck I do believe most of these drones would fall right back in his wake without any reservations.

So because EA made some of the best attachments and there was no indication that Ted was a crook that owners of EA attachments were cult like followers?

And explain what you mean by:

What wake? Are you suggesting that the "drones" or cult like followers are flying behind him?

And at this point, with all the information about Ted scamming customers, are there still cult like followers?

You are obviously not aware of some of the things that were going on on other media sites. There were loyalists that were downright nasty to anyone that didn't agree EA was the best thing to arrive on the implement scene. They would have and probably would still follow Ted into quicksand and bash anyone else with a different opinion. It's kinda funny how silent those faceless keyboard warriors are right now. Were they all EA implement owners? I don't know if they were or not but their loyalty sure pointed in that direction. Were all EA owners that way? absolutely not. The rest of what I wrote you can figure out on your own. Sounds like I might have hit a nerve.

Sounds like you think your opinion means anything. I promoted EA before revelations about Ted's crimes came to light. I feel bad for the EA employees that lost their job.
It's no question whatsoever that EA made quality attachments. I own three of them. EA was a great company ran into the ground by a greedy son of the owner.
Do you own an EA attachment?

Nope. My limit for handing over money to someone prior to what I'm buying shipping is a few hundred dollars at best and I would not buy something with the kind of lead times I have seen from them. Personally, I work too hard for my money to take a hit like some of EA's customers did. I have no doubt EA made quality equipment but so do many, many other manufacturers. I too felt very badly for their employees but the fact that they made the best implements on the market I'm sure was enough to land them jobs at other places. Joking aside, good employees won't stay unemployed very long and I'm sure working for anyone else is better than working for Ted. As far as my opinion, this is a forum where everyone has an opinion. I guess you can have your opinion but I'm not allowed to have mine because I think what Ted did to his customers and employees was trash. Maybe Ted will file a chapter something bankruptcy so he can shed his debts and start a new biz under another name and you can start buying equipment from him again.
