"Being new to tractors and this industry, your YouTube videos drew me to your company and after further research I learned that I couldn't find the quality design and construction at a comparable price. It stands to reason that you were 5 weeks behind on lead time, but since I wasn't in a hurry, it worked out well for me. Travis on the phone is a true professional with his knowledge and recommendations on this equipment. I love that my American patriot brothers to the south are born and bred for this stuff and know what they're talking about. I am envious of your obviously profitable business in an industry that is productive and beneficial to our economy. Thank you for the video tutorials and the great products at fair prices. Keep up the good work and enjoy the prosperity our veteran forefathers have sacrificed so much to give us!"

That could be mine!! 60" double lid with intermediate tines. Shipped yesterday and scheduled to be here Tuesday.

Travis told me there were 2 ordered exactly the same way and they went through production together. He sent me pictures of the twins together

"Spend all that Internet arguing time learning to be a better operator???" Pretty cocky advice from someone who hasn't even taken delivery of his grapple yet.

Makes you wonder why EA goes to the trouble of "racecar design" on their tines to lower the weight of their grapples by 20 lbs if 40-50lbs makes no difference.

As pointed out before, a loss of 50-75 lbs lift capacity is no biggie with a large tractor or skidsteer. For someone operating a medium or small CUT it amounts to 5+% of lift capacity. Certainly a consideration in addition to added cost for ??? benefit over single lid.

And, we're still all waiting for that list of dissatisfied single lid owners....you did do your homework before deciding on the double right?

I don't think you will find a list from the folks at TBN because most seem to me to be the type to just live with it never knowing the actual difference.

I can tell you for certain that the dual lid is better and my upgrade wasn't done without some serious thought. I actually purchased the new grapple and held on to the old one till I was 100% sure which was better then sold the one I didn't want! So the end result being I was not satisfied with the single lid and sold it in favor of keeping the dual.

I would be willing to bet that if everyone who owns a single lid could afford to have both brand new and use them for the same type jobs the numbers you ask for would be here. Sadly most wont go out and buy both to try just to figure out what is best so they simply don't know any better but I do.

Dual lid any day of the week

Dual lid any day of the week

Single lid any day of the week

--- and I have both. If I could only have one it would be the narrow single lid.

I also have both. Got the 44" single lid first for moving sheared cedar trees. Moved to a place that has a lot of dead oak trees. Got a 72" double lid.

Use it more now, but I am keeping both.

We have an 84" HD dual lid and a 73" single lid. Use both all of the time. They each serve their purposes well.

Thanks

Basically proving my point. 3 responders with multiple experience out of how many people who come here.

2 of them would keep both and one who prefers the single lid.

So how many others have owned and used both single and dual lid in say the same size?
How many others like us have owned both small and large grapples?
How many who have an add on grapple on a bucket and don't think they ever need more?

I know a guy with a 3 in one bucket and an other guy who has a grapple on a set of forks they would both argue they see no need to have anything else but yet they have never had any experience with anything else.

So imagine if everyone here had the multiple use on multiple properties experience. I would think we would see the list asked for but it would be surprising for some to realize just how untrue the one answer, one size, one theory fits everyone is so wrong.

If I could only own 1 grapple it would be a 72"dual lid but ten years ago that answer would have been different and 30 years ago even different still. 50 years ago I would have asked why waste the money on something I don't need and 70 years ago my dad would have made me load everything by hand and I would be dreaming about something that could make this darn chore go quicker and easy.
