Yes, a Woman!

I'll take that. :thumbsup:

I think you need to take a break

I tried to yesterday, but the phone immediately rang and it was over! :laughing:

MY use.

This is why I am open minded when it comes to sizing a grapple and reluctant to give an "in stone" size recommendation.

Speaking of in stone...
Corey from Utah sent me a pic of the stones he moved the other day with his L2501 and Wicked Grapple!

I got my EA 60" Wicked Grapple today. Only had a couple of hours available to use it but I am in love. Did what used to take half a day in just an hour.

I grabbed my first load - this old dead pine, and moved pile after pile of brush that I had cut a few weeks ago. Didn't take a lot of pix, but have more to do tomorrow when I move the bigger stuff.

I'm almost speechless as I look at these poster worthy photos, but the words "WOW" and "Beautiful" do come to mind!!

The first thing I did with my grapple was terrorize my daughter with it. Low gear, engine revved, grapple raised and "chomping" as I chased her down the driveway. (She loved it!)

Hahaha! :thumbsup:
Ted terrorized me during the 55" Wicked Grapple Rake's maiden voyage. I can't put the vid on here because it isn't on our YouTube Channel, but I did upload it to the EA Facebook Page.

I'm a firm believer in covering one's tracks. When the ground dries up here I'll show why a wider grapple comes in handy for MY use.

Regarding how I managed to snag that stump, it was too big to swallow up with the grapple (couldn't get a good enough bite on it). I pushed it quite a ways (through a wet depression which would have sunk the tractor with that kind of weight on it) and then as I was flipping it it just kind of hooked on the lower tines and when I raised the grapple I'd snagged it; hefted it that way for perhaps 50' (again, keep in mind that I've got a lot of wet ground right now). I'm pretty impressed with the Kioti being able to carry the weight like that: and I didn't have anything on the rear (tires ballasted though)- I'm still trying to decide on a box blade (7' "EA" is at the top of my list of candidates- 1,500 lbs ought to allow me to see how much weight one of these grapples can really handle).

Just like when getting a new cat or dog at the house, make sure and introduce the implements to each other properly so that they get to know one another and work together effectively!

Snowback, that's awesome! Implementing your implements! :

5 weeks out on the 72" grapple I just ordered

Kinda sucks to pay for something 5-6 weeks before you get it but what can ya do.

When it arrives and you see the build quality versus those laying around at local implement dealers, you'll thank yourself for finding the patience to have waited.

Any particular reason you went with 72"?
