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

   / The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!!! #2,721  
I'm too forgetful to take photos, but I've been using the heck out of my 60" dual lid. Cleared about 1.5 acre of blackberry and other assorted bushes/small trees the other day. Worked like a charm. Everyone who witnessed the feat were amazed at the effectiveness of the EA Grapple.

What is width of that grapple? I have same tractor.

Also why did you go with root grapple vs other style? Thanks!

No need to get off the tractor to pick up a 4" steel wheel...grapple will make you lazy!<img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=521492"/>

Now there is grapple that looks like it gets used. Lots of dirt like mine.

55 inch, it seem to fit my needs and it's only around 200 lbs.
I've moved a lot of logs, brush and some pretty big field/creek stones with my little 2501 and the 55 inch grapple.

The water table has continued to drop allowing me to get into areas along my shoreline that I didn't have access to in prior years. These trees where growing during the drought in the 1920s and 30s and died when the water table rose.

I spend a fair amount of time transporting dead wood to my preferred burning area, and so this pile is what about 8 hours of in-cab loader work looks like.

Looks good! Do you like your style grapple or do you think you would have preferred the root style grapple which is more like a dozer blade?
