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

[vlcakc]

Got the EA 66" dual lid grapple mounted on the 2018 Case Farmall 55 CVT tractor today for the first time! No real problems. One hydraulic quick coupler was a little stiff, but we finally got it on. Also got the third function kit from EA and had the dealer mount it before delivery. Dealer's mechanic said the kit installed with no problems although they did change the arrangement slightly. Did a few test picks before dark. New tractor and new implement type for me, so I need practice! Can post pics tomorrow if anyone is interested. Vic

I'm very interested and on the edge of my seat waiting for pics of your Farmall with some Wickedness! I'm a fan of those Japanese Farmalls!!

In the meantime, Gregg from NY just received his Brand New Kubota B2650 and Wicked 50. Wow, the thought of someone getting mud on the tires for the first time with a Wicked Grapple present sure makes me excited! :cool2: :laughing:

Here's what he had to say:
"Today is a good day! Managed to get a little dirt on the tires while trying out the EA Grapple. Anyone considering one I can tell you it is a very slick unit and works as advertised. Here is a picture of its first mouthful followed by a picture of a little dirt on the tires for the very first time."

VERY nice looking rig... I hope you are happy with the dual-lid EA 66"... I have one also and can't say enough good... VERY versatile around this Central Florida, North-East Tennessee, South Coastal Maine and Eastern Massachusetts properties; It is extremely important to match the tractor/implement/work... Seems that YOU HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK...

Love it!!
Ahhhh,
I missed the C after Farmall 55.
Not Japanese, but it still looks a lot like the Shibaura of years past!

That's true Travis. Even though the new tractor was made in Mexico and not Japan some of its other features are also similar to the Shibaura built NH TC-45D I owned prior to the Case. Vic

vlcakc, is that a cnh third function? If so, how about a pn. If it isn't, maybe a link to it? If its a ROLL YOUR OWN, details? How about a picture of the hose end mounting on the boom?

CNH doesn't offer a third function option for this tractor, according to the dealer. It is a EA kit I bought with the grapple.
3rd function auxiliary hydraulic kits for all brands of tractors and loaders
I believe it uses a Long valve. EA shipped the kit directly to the dealer who installed it. I don't know the details. I suggest you contact Travis at EA for answers to your questions. Vic
