WICKED Utility Grapple!!!

[EverythingAttachments]

What are the current options for single jaw grapple above 35hp???

That'd be these: Single Lid Wicked Grapple for Compact Tractors

We'll be offering these new Utility Grapples with a single lid, but we haven't got that far yet.

I guess no comments is better than bad comments. :laughing:

Here is my good comment, I like the extra bracing at the top and bottom of the QA.

It should never bend at the top like my fork frame did,

I haven't seen that spring mount hose standoff before. That is a nice idea. Does EA sell the standoff as an optional accessory???

Thanks for pointing that out, Xfaxman!
Many of our attachments feature quite a few little things that add up to be really significant.
They do not always draw obvious attention, but make a lot of sense when pointed out!

EricTheOracle also noticed some extra features on the hitch of his Compact Wicked Grapple and made the following video.

We do: Hose Saving Spring Kit
The hose saver spring is standard on our dual lid Wicked Grapples and the new Utility Wicked Grapples.

Here's the product video for the new Wicked Utility Grapple.

Might need to get one. Need to check out mounting spots. I'm a bit confused by the product page though. It shows the hose saver attached to the torque tube cover but Xfaxman's and Eric's are attached to the grapple itself. Also, FYI, the fourth photo is of a 3rd function joystick switch not the spring saver.

It can be mounted to a grapple or to the torque tube of the tractor by welding or bolting. Some may choose to install it onto the loader to secure the hoses, but I wouldn't want one on both at the same time. That'd be too springy!
Here is the most recent representation of the kit. We need to update the pics on the website.

Thanks! Not anymore.

Ted, I am looking for a winter project. Can you supply the pieces in a kit form so I can do the welding. It would be going on a Kubota L 4330. It has the LA853 loader.

I think a 54-60" width would be about the right size and with a single lid.

By the way, I love your videos.

We toyed with the idea a while back and decided that the kits are, for us, really more time consuming and labor intensive than shipping the completed product.
Although they look fairly simple, there's quite a bit that goes into these grapples. Just ask Roger, aka 94BULLITT, a TBN member who put one together.

I agree that our Single Lid Compact Wicked Grapple would be great on your tractor.

Thanks, it's always great to hear that our videos are appreciated!
