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

Thanks for the pictures.. Im leaning towards the 66" Dual lid version. Do they only come in black or can you get them in Kubota Orange also?

Bet you wax your tractor too! Black works fine.

I did spend over an hour tonight washing the muck of the L39, as I sadly had to cross some wetland to find a spot to dig a grave of a young cow.

If you send me one I'd weigh it on 4 different sets of scales, post cool picture, and destruction test it. How could you beat an offer like that?

I have an ideal timeline, scheme of events, for woody if I had the ability to lay it all out like a fairy tale(I don't, but can't we dream a bit?)....

To start...
Use the grapple for a while. You're obviously going to LOVE having a grapple! We can all wholeheartedly agree on this without a doubt.
I mean, it sounds like you got a good deal on this beastly chunk of steel, which shares the same basic geometry as our Wicked. For those who don't know, Ted's brother owns CA so we know those grapples VERY well.

You can throw it on the L45 and take out any frustrations on it imaginable. The grapple will remain in it's current state of condition.
Hook it up and simply ride around with it installed, noting the difference in having the grapple installed vs. the regular GP bucket. It will be noticeable and i'm not talking about the Big Man ego kick you'll experience right off the bat! :laughing:

Here's a pic I took on our dock a while back.

I'd assumed that they weigh most grapples as they ship them as shippers generally charge by weight and size so thought Travis had the data handy.

Shipping weights are going to include pallets and straps... Wood is enough of a variable it wouldn't be accurate. As you stated, close is only good enough for those with high loader capacities and if taking the time out to do it, do it right...

I can tell you from experience how easily website data can be outdated. I'm sure as new models and designs were added, they were accurate for the time. As changes get made, new models get added, etc., the older stuff gets farther and farther from the specs listed. Sometimes the only thing to do is put a group of orders through and let the line build what you need to update specs on and rotate it into stock after weights are taken.
