That would of been sweet!

Maybe I'll add some to mine! I'm thinking some expanded metal.

Ted isn't a fan of expanded metal because he likes maximum visibility, but it is probably the easiest protection you can add.
One could add it even easier to these new protective rails if they wanted to.

Here's a fresh Wicked Grapple review from Eugene in Mississippi.

"After watching a video of Ted attempting to destroy this grapple I decided to purchase one. It is everything I expected and more. A quality manufactured product in every regard. As a former fabricator and engineer I would have been proud to say that I had designed and manufactured such an excellent grapple. While I will never use the grapple the way Ted did, it is nice to know that even with his abuse it held up."

Ted has been strenuously testing the Wicked Grapple for FULL GROWN farm tractors and skid steers.

I really like those pieces between lower jaw tines. Wish I had them on my 72" WG for utility tractors.

Thanks!
Those are nice, especially for gripping when you push over trees.

We stuck with the original laminated tines on the model you have to because they're easier to push through the ground than those bulky triangular gussets those plates are bolted onto.
This new, heavy grapple will be on tractors over 80hp and skid steers, so the traction robbing gussets should not be as much of a concern.

My old Millonzi light duty grapple has essentially the same lower tine profile and construction. Still straight after ten years.

Looking at it, it would be easy to weld in sections of schedule 80 between the times. That's all Millonzi did.

This is the style rlgustafson has, which has been featured on every Wicked Grapple since the beginning. Easy pushing to rip up roots and rocks with minimal damage to the soil surface.

When are we going to see video of the Bigger Root Grappel on the bigger tractors?
