The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!!!

I post with no favoritism and do not push my customers either way. I also speak to everyone about their application if they're open to it. If their mind is made up, I may give them other's opinions as to what is best, but refuse to argue.

I would recommend you to post all of the user pics and experiences you could find concerning a Milozonieus(ah) grapple, but that guy already posts them in here. :laughing:

But Travis, this is a discussion board not Instagram. The thread is about your grapples but can't we discuss the grapples rather than reposting baby grapple pictures from your Facebook account?

And, I don't think you really want me to be bragging about my $500 Millonzi grapple. Might cause your customers to wonder why the EAs are so pricey.

Believe me, there's more grapple talk in this thread than anywhere else on the WWW. Sadly, as of late, much of it is bickering.
There are also more pics of Wicked Grapples posted than any and all other grapples on the market combined, so I think that's my excuse to proudly share them as the Wicked owners have.
It is a helpful reference for people with the same or like sized tractors to make a decision based on appearance and width comparison if nothing else.

I do not understand why this is so offensive to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Either IT truly believes that anyone who doesn't have a single lid Macaroni grapple is an idiot or someone ? pees in his Cheerios every morning?

First he attacks EA for not property educating their customers to the "IT Dogma", now he starts attacking clients directly because ........ they express an opinion contrary to his.

It's not offensive Travis. It's boring. Your baby grapple photos are about as interesting as cat pictures. Ooh Ah, look another baby grapple. So cute! And look, a guy with ten minutes of grapple experience has provided a review, that should be valuable!

Before you blather on about the "IT dogma", Go read the first 40-50 posts in this thread. You might recognize some of the arguments from Ted, Travis, and a number of other TBNers. Go ahead read it.

Pictures are worth 1,000 words. I and probably most others appreciate pictures when shopping for products.

Can you point us in the direction of a less boring, more valuable and active grapple thread on TBN?
I couldn't find one.
If it's somewhere other than TBN, please PM the link to me out of respect to the sponsors here on TBN.

With all due respect IT, I think folks are simply getting weary of your frequent attacks on EA and its customers. This is the Wicked Grapple thread after all and we appreciate what Travis does to keep us in the loop. We do like our grapples and many of us even agree with you in principle that relatively narrow, single lid grapples are often the perfect tool. BUT - I also recognize that others may prefer and enjoy their wider double lid grapples too. You are without a doubt a premier subject matter expert on the topic of grapples, especially on matters that involve a personal opinion, and I simply think it is important to note that others may feel differently than you do and their opinion is just as valid as yours and mine on overall suitability for their purposes.

As a seasoned grapple owner you can fully appreciate your particular machine and specific attachments more than most of those who are contemplating a new grapple. Looking at these "baby grapple" photos, as you put it, is a tremendously powerful way of illustrating exactly what EA Wicked Grapples can do, and it is likely as impactful to newbies as it was to me when I was shopping. And the pictures also provide insights as to what might be expected based on the machine they are installed on. I recall finding your grapple/tractor pictures very useful when shopping around for my grapple - thanks for posting those. You should post more in the Grappling fun thread!

Long story short is that I hope you can keep being productive while perhaps considering tapering back on your hyper criticisms of anything that is not a 36" wide single lid grapple with a 50" opening and that weighs 100 pounds. (Now that would be cool though...)

Be well!

Warning! Gratuitous baby grapple picture attached.

Awesome as always, snowback! :thumbsup: Cute kid, too. She must take after your wife! :laughing:

Thanks for solidifying my opinion, man. :thumbsup:

Customers left these great words on our website over the weekend. We are so blessed to have such wonderful feedback and appreciation flowing in from many avenues.

Robert from Tennessee has had a 54" Dual Lid Wicked Grapple on his Kubota B26 TLB for over 9 months.

Title: Grapple This

"Use larger construction grapples for the larger equipment. Wanted a smaller, lite weight grapple for a Kubota B26. 54" double lid is perfect. Excellent design and strength. Like having a bionic hand. Having the tips close together is great. Appreciate the selection of materials and overall design. Made to work hard and last a lifetime. Now have 9 months of use and wish I could give a higher rating. Its design and small tractor makes this a precision tool for picking up limbs and brush. Great property management tool. Extremely strong and shows no sign of wear. The evolution of design and craftsmanship make this grapple so much better than the competition. Costs a little more but you can do so much more in less time."

Whew, I have to limit myself as to how long I can gaze at this pic! :laughing:

Josh from Alabama has a 66" Single Lid Wicked Grapple on his Kubota L3560.

Title: Excellent purchase
"Not sure there's anything else to say beyond what other reviewers have already said; both the build quality, and design are top notch, and their willingness to provide a custom hose length all more than validated the decision to buy the 66" version. Using it has also more validated the decision to buy a grapple as I was initially using pallet forks (loaded by hand to get decent load) for moving brush, and the grapple makes it so much easier it's now my go-to item for moving brush, trees, and pretty much anything else that isn't readily palletized (and can safely fit in the jaws)."

Come on Travis, we're not that dumb. There were many grapple discussions before you started playing the game of insuring that your marketing thread was always at the top of the recent post list. You post an inane photograph every time the thread goes without a post for more than a few days to keep it on top. Bumpmaster Travis.

If this thread bothers you so much, why do you keep reading it? I mean, you are free to just ignore it. After all, the title of the thread pretty much tells you what they are going to talking about in here....

I read this one, along with a bunch of other ones while trying to get some information on grapples that may/may not work on my tractor. Knowing he is representing his company just goes into my evaluation thinking, but doesn't just make me roll my eyes and walk away. If you walk into the Chevy dealer for a new truck, you kind of know what kind of pitch you are going to get, but you can still good information from them.

Well stated! And ..... a great picture!

Thanks.

Yep, guess that puts him the minority of those who share his point of view.

Your point?

 

[mopardude318]

I personally like the pictures that get posted and agree it shows what can be done. EA is doing just fine in my book. I like this thread and I long for a grapple! LOL. Just gotta save a couple more months and I WILL get me an EA Wicked Grapple!!!!!

You are mostly posting about his posts. Now I am posting about your posts about his posts. Nuts. Put him on ignore please and the rest of us can read the thread. He has good content and has helped out many TBN members and made EA's grapples better.

Doesn't give him carte blanche to bulldog the thread or bulldog peoples decisions on which grapple. Saying "this is the internet" isn't an excuse for poor manners or lack of common courtesy.

 

[mopardude318]

I like that loader you posted! Cool!

I was hopin someone would get a kick outa that. I was trying to find a picture of a cartoon tractor with a grapple, but that was close as I could get. Not much of an artist or I'd draw one!
