Another great video. I really enjoy your bumper music. My Grapple is my favorite attachment. I agree that tight closure is a key point to consider. Pulling small stuff is definitely an issue if your grapple doesn’t close tightly. My grapple is made of chineseium steel. Im sure I will need to replace in a year or two. Will definitely look at the EA to replace it. Thanks again for a great video.

Thank you for the kind words! I’ve learned that I definitely prefer the clamshell for those reasons. Hey if it works, then it works - I try to buy USA when I can but sometimes the economics and logistics just don’t work out. Not to mention availability. That said, I definitely recommend the EA grapples!

Thanks for your video. I have had all of the questions that you answered about weight, raking, grasping, quality, and waiting. I’m impatient too, but after watching your video the wait will be worth it. Just ordered the Wicked 66 for my 82 horse Kubota. Thanks again for a great video!

Thnx for a great video! You gave a clear, to the point evaluation of both grapples. Specific information, like weight, dimensions, material quality, design details and user friendliness on both grapples! Well done.

I own a Wicked 60 of the same vintage as your 66, mounted on a Kubota L48. I agree with your assessment of the EA grapple, though it is the only grapple I have used. I also agree with the grease fittings you pointed out on the top cylinder pivots. I can’t really see any grease getting to the pressure point of the hinge. Thanks for the well done review. Doug

Nice job on the video and showing how to clear your property, Ive been clearing land off and on for over 45 years I like your style. Bending a tree to twist the stump up can be dangerous like the gentleman stated previously, but I think when you have run your equipment enough to get the FEEL of it, then I believe you can feel the amount of force on the tree you're applying and sense its breaking point using some good old fashioned common sense. Definitely advising all to be careful and aware. Death can approach from out of anywhere, such as pulling vines and knocking the top out of a dead tree etc. so always look your area over well for widow makers, etc. before you begin, along with other hazards. I just subscribed also, I have a new 73 hp Cabbed Power Shuttle Kioti on the way as we speak. A semi retirement present to myself, lol. Planning on putting in a few cattle myself. Again nice job on everything, good luck on your channel and God bless you and your family.

Sometimes we have to use what we have and make it work lol. But yes you are correct. When operate equipment and machinery you get a feel for it and in many ways becomes second nature. But accidents can still happen. Just have to be as careful as possible but still get work done. The dead trees are the ones to look out for. They don’t call them widow-makers for no reason.

Thanks for the video, I have been going back and forth trying to figure out what I wanted. I have bought some other items from EA. I think I am going with them.

Nice to see a grapple on a fullsize tractor for once instead of compact tractors was debating on getting one cause i never seen one on anything over 40 hp. Want it for my 4707 mf ,that wicked 66 grapple looks up to the task and then some

@arrowjmfarms

Жыл бұрын

I felt the same way. There just wasn’t many vids out there with a utility sized tractor. Most of the tougher grapples are designed for skid steers and are pretty heavy. I’m really happy with the EA 66” on this tractor!

I'm pretty new to tractors, but I've looked at a lot of grapples, and ended up with a Homestead Pinnacle Root Grapple. It's clearly beautifully constructed. But if it was stolen, I might replace it with an EA Attachements Wicked. They do seem to be the most wicked grapples available. I will say though, my Homestead is doing just fine (I can't push over trees with my 25 hp tractor, but can still pick up hella brush)

@arrowjmfarms

Жыл бұрын

I did look at the Homesteads also. There was a few videos where a guy had bent one up. That happens - but from what I’ve read they use any excuse they can not to have to honor their warranty. Hopefully you never have to test the warranty. Should work out with the 25hp tractor.

The less weight of the EA is significant for lifting. The titan is a different design and usage. Good info.

@arrowjmfarms

Жыл бұрын

I agree.

I love the content of your video. Brush clearing and brush control was once the source of my livelihood. However, about 2 minutes or so into this video, you pushed over a substantially sized tree, then you pushed on the tree from the side while the stump was still rather securely still in the ground. As you pushed on the tree, I could see the tension and potential recoil building. If the top had broken out of that tree, the results could have been catastrophic. No ROPS on any tractor could protect you from the resulting impact. You are much too young and have too much to live for to be taking chances like that. Please, exercise caution, enjoy life, and live it to the fullest. Keep up the good work, and keep the quality content coming. God bless you.

I just got my first tractor -a Kubota L3902. Nowhere near as beastly as yours! I have 10 acres that need to be cleaned up after Hurricane Ida and I’ve been looking at different grapples. I think you have convinced me that the EA wicked is the way to go! I’m wondering if the 66” would be too much for the L3902, or would the 54” be better ? I’m leaning towards the 54 mostly because of the weight issue

It can be hard on it for sure! Just depends on what you’re doing. So far mine has held up and I do things I shouldn’t lol. The worst thing to do is trying to dig up trees and stumps. Pushing brush and briars doesn’t put much stress on it. It plows through them pretty easy. And making brush piles shouldn’t cause any issues either. Sometimes you just have to take it slow and remember it’s not a bulldozer - easier said than done haha.

Have you ever had the need/want of a style of grapple that has two separate clamps for uneven loads?

@arrowjmfarms

I’ve always kind of wanted that. If this grapple had a double lid option I would have got that. That being said, it has really performed great even being a single lid and hasn’t been a big issue like you’d think. It really depends on what the primary task is. They do have a dual lid long bottom grapple but I prefer the shorter rake teeth this grapple has.
