Here's a view down between the hood and loader arm. With this configuration I am able to drive along a fence line and pick up stuff close to the fence. Usually its cedars that are easy to grab. Sometimes its something like this that takes lining up on. In this case a salt block holder that's cleverly disguised as an old tire and aluminum rim. It's neat to be able to pick up stuff like this and haul it around the pasture to where I need it and then just drop it off.


Great illustration! You definitely put a lot of thought into your choice.

Bradd from NY came down and talked with me about his Wicked Grapple and some other EA Attachments before pulling the trigger. He has fence and tree lines to tend and wanted the extra side reach of a wider grapple for pushing over scrub saplings, bushes and other debris. We settled on this 73" Single Lid grapple for his M7060 Kubota and he's been extremely happy with the choice!

Hands on & Bradd was hooked. Many who visit can't believe how beautifully crafted and Wicked these things actually are in person.

He had some work lined up for it as soon as it arrived.

Boy what a discussion! I have one question and not sure will ask it correctly so chime if I don't: and how do you not scratch them using for such work as shown here? Will two coats of wax protect these grapples? Forgive me, had to ask. lol

Battle scars! Only about 12 hrs on mine though.

I don't know of many folk that use them for work that are worried about scratches. Scratches on an implement that contacts the earth are expected. Continuous use is what prevents them from rusting up. If you don't plan on using it on a regular basis, plan on cleaning it up, greasing it up, and touching up the paint before storage; same as anything else.

Mine gets put away "wet" and receives no maternal care at all. 12 years of use and it's doing fine. Every Spring there is a bit of surface rust on the tines. By the end of the first day's work it is all nice and shiny where the paint is missing.

This is definitely not something we recommend, but it's cool to look at!

This review and pics were shared in the EA Channel Group a couple of days ago.

"Although the Wicked Single Lid Grapple typically lives on a Kubota 3901, it was mounted on a JD 319d Skid Steer this weekend. The Grapple performed amazing. The big tree is green and very heavy. Even when put in a twist hanging out the side it held up just fine. Very pleased with EA products.
I've got their grapple, rotary mover, pallet forks, finish mower and stump bucket. Thanks Travis!" --Mark from Wyoming

That's definitely a test for your grapple! It demonstrates the well thought out design and materials selection!

That is one of the many reasons why I bought from Everything Attachments!

I wouldn't do that with my grapple unless it was built for a skid steer.
