And this past weekend I had to load down the back of my Polaris Brutus with a bunch of brush, by hand of course:( I figured it easier than trying to strap it to my B7800's bucket.

My wife is wondering how I'm going to recoup all these costs. I told her to not discount the value of less trips to the doctors (due to strains from jumping on and off the tractor and man-handling stuff into the loader bucket)!

Very true. I have relayed that same selling point to those needing significant other persuasion!! :thumbsup:

Only thing better than an EA Wicked Root Grapple is having their grapple
and the EA Xtreme Duty 72-inch Rotary Brush Cutter.
EA, end to end. The dynamic duo. Grapple, cut, repeat.

Trimmed up a pine tree in town today. Those limbs were a lot heavier than I thought they'd be, so I had to get the right tool out to carry it all to the firepit!


What to do with these?!?

Aha! What did we do before grapples?

So the wait begins. I just finished ordering the 66" Wicked Grapple this afternoon. Travis, I just wanted to thank you for the quick response. Looking forward on doing some much needed work around the farm. I'll post some pictures once I get everything up running. Following the threads on this site has helped me immensely on narrowing down this purchase. Thank you to y'all.

My pleasure. I didn't know you were on TBN, but I'm glad you showed up to the party!!

I keep repainting things every once in a while to keep them nice. I put a 1,000 hours on that 3520 in the picture. My OCD won't allow anything else

Here's a newly submitted review from David in California. He has our 50" Wicked Grapple on his tractor.

"It's hard to believe that this lightweight grapple is so strong!... I'm digging huge rocks, lifting large trees and taking my Kubota L2501 to it's limit, but the grapple shows no signs of strain... Then there's the company and Travis in particular, very accommodating and they obviously appreciate my business... If I could, I'd give the grapple and the company a lot more than five stars..."

Got my grapple and pallet forks the other day and I unloaded them today.

I'm beginning to think that maybe IslandTractor is right in his thought that people tend to buy too large of a grapple :D

Both EA attachments resting on the ground (waiting for my new tractor, which, unlike EA, didn't get shipped in a timely manner!):

Oh no, don't get him fired back up, Diesel. :laughing:

It does look pretty big there, but will look more proportionate on the NX.
I'm glad they made it to you OK!

You're no fun Travis!! I would never start gloating about how many people wish they'd ordered smaller grapples nor would I point out that virtually no owners of narrow lightweight grapples ever "upgrade". I just wouldn't do such a thing. :laughing:

You sensed that door being opened before you clicked on the thread, didn't you? haha
Seriously, I point out the pluses of narrow grapples all the time; almost every phone call. Even if the call isn't about grapples, I start talking about grapples! :laughing:
