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

Just remember you get what you pay for. I know its more money for the EA. From all the research I have done as well as all the people on here that have them you won't regret it.
Thanks for the info! Looks sharp and top notch. Did you debate at all to go 60" vs 54"? I get so close to pulling the trigger, then I question the size, and then get scarred off by the price! I go look at Titans, love the price, then get scarred by the quality... And round and round I go!!!! :-(

Pay a little more for something over built or pay less for something that might break...hmmmmm.

Right now I've got three implements that aren't EA, two because EA doesn't make them and one because I needed it in a hurry and let me tell you the quality difference between that item and my eA disks and take is staggering. Sometimes you don't understand until you see the quality first hand. If EA is an option, I'd say EA is the answer.

I agree with the quality part, but the price is tough. Considering the 60", there is a 68% premium between the Lovely China scrapper, and the premium EA. That's a lot for me to accept, mostly based on my (more limited than probably most) application. Perhaps I'll call EA and see what I can save by picking it up? Boy the ones posted look so sharp and purdy on the green machines like my 3520!

Shoot, I thought mine was getting classy because it's nearly half silver now.

Keep working at it and you'll get there!! :laughing:

Looks pretty good all silver!!

If you're in Northern VA, you'd be better off with shipping vs. pickup because we'd have NC sales tax to deal with.

Oh, this green machine?
just rubbin it in....

I just bought the 60" dual lid Wicked Root Grapple from EA and my only regret is not buying it sooner! Unbelievable how much work I have already done with this attachment.IMG_3572.JPG

You know you bought a green machine because you wanted quality and resale, this is no different. You know you want it
