May I politely suggest you unsubscribe if you don't find it helpful. Or, you can always block those whose opinions you don't like. However, making inane comments is just a waste of everyone's time.

Unsubscribing would be unhelpful because quite often the info you share is helpful. Beating this single lid dead horse, however, stopped being helpful about 1500 posts ago.

I read this entire thread when I started looking for a grapple and learned so much I'm grateful for. I suspect many in my shoes would do the same and seeing page after page of never ending defense of narrow single lid grapples ruined this thread for me. If I were referring someone here I'd have to also caveat it with a warning to disregard a lot of the content. We get it. There are options. But enough already.

I'm sorry for taking up space here creating exactly the type of post that takes up space and adds zero value.

Would it grow more if you offered free shipping to the west coast?

No such thing as free shipping in the real world. There is simply a markup that covers the maximum shipping in the radius they offer. If they started shipping "free" to the west coast the price would increase across the board. I'd prefer to see that markup come off and everyone pay the shipping for their area.

I don't know if it would increase if it was terminal delivery. I have had vendors do that. Not to the west coast but when I was out of the free delivery zone. It removes the local delivery costs.

This is a very long thread that has been carefully shepherded by Travis for EA marketing purposes (note how Travis loves all grapples and never disagrees with anyone....unlike those of us who just like grapples, Travis loves grapples because they feed his family. Does anyone ever criticize Travis for saying "cool grapple" to new owners?).

A lot of good discussions are buried in here though I don't doubt for a moment that a lot of it is repetitious. How many original things can be said about metallic contraptions that use hydraulic power to temporarily force man's wishes on Mother Nature? How many grapple photos do you need to see?

This is the longest active grapple thread so potential grapple buyers are likely to run across it as they educate themselves before making a purchase. Most participants in this thread start by asking a few questions then make a purchase decision and disappear. But this is more than simply a marketing tool for EA (apologies to Travis). IMO this is a discussion forum and not simply a showcase for new EA grapple baby pictures. And, I doubt many potential grapple owners start from post one and read through. Some points are bound to be repeated and honest disagreements will pop up repeatedly. I plead guilty to reiterating certain arguments and points. Mea culpa. If someone says something I disagree with I tend to respond. Habits formed by forty years of arguing in academia are hard to break.

Awesomely honest and well put. Carry on IT.

Here is another use for the 72" Wicked Twin!! Its just barely wide enough to hold 2 stacks and still be able to drive to the trench.
