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

Here is Euro, or Global as JD calls it.

I have a buddy with a similar JCB but with a factory Backhoe. Its a different class of machine than a typical CUT. sort of like a Deere 110. Its size leans toward a large compact, but its weight, traction, and hydraulic power are substantially higher than a CUT. Its a cool machine, and I almost bought one used until I looked closely at the electrical system it had been burned up and badly repaired...

Buying a grapple without mounts might be the way to go.

We could make a grapple for you with no mounts if you have the ability to make some.
By the looks of that bucket, I'd lean towards an Xtreme duty.
We do have the heavier Wicked Grapple which hasn't made it to the website yet.

Travis,

Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind.

Yes t's a perfect example of matching an attachment for a piece of equipment, in this case a tractor. It says for skid steers and tractors and is easily someone with a tractor that had some power might look into. I thought it was interesting reading it after IT made that exact point. I know I would consider it my my little CUT.

You found what works best for you without losing much capacity. That's great. But some of us like a machine with some real lifting capacity which requires a heavier grapple. You seem to suggest that my posts are off topic just because my tractor has a different lift capacity than yours. I"m not off topic so stop whining about it.

Topic: "The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!" Just wishing to keep on-topic. And no, I'm not whining (kind of a pot shot- eh?)

Not a Wicked Grapple but I thought this shot seemed kinda wicked. Today's brush burning.

That's not sporting! You've got to drop the grapple into the fire and then drag it back out with the hoses; well, that's how Eric[theOracle] does it!:laughing: (poor guy, that's what happens when you document everything out on the Internet- never hear the last of it!)

Yikes! I've forgotten to lower the levers and dropped my forks, but never a grapple. And never anything in a fire. When burning brush I drop the load near the fire and then close the lid* and push the pile unto the fire. I roll it up until I see coals below, then sit back and wait for it to burn down. The county has a 10'x10' rule and I think I've used up my complimentary visits from the big red trucks. So I play it safe now. Works for both of us.

*I push brush only, no logs or rocks

I think that if you set a couple of chairs around the fire and have some marshmallows on sticks that the size then doesn't matter as it's merely a "camp fire" :laughing:

I don't recall what Eric was doing to get into that situation. I've pushed stuff into fires (and it's gotten a bit on the warm side), but running in and dumping (as in from a grapple)

I was spending so much time tending to fires that I no longer burn: and the times of the year that I could do it are pretty limited due to all the rain. I've resorted to relocating brush elsewhere, or in the case of big stumps, bury (infrequent, and requires renting an excavator). Really looking forward to using the new EA grapple to get a bunch of my "temporary" piles relocated.

You are just like the energizer bunny, keep complaining and whining. I was discussing what model would work best with Travis as I'm kinda a tweener. I dont' need your permission to do so. If anyone is derailing the topic here isn't you with the whining. You seem really defensive about the whole weight of the grapple. Get over it.

Nothing I wrote is incorrect.

If you want to talk to Travis then e-mail him, like I did.

When you step into a public forum like this then EVERYONE is entitled to chime in.
