Well, the wildkat lasted about six hours before this happened, and I was being very cautious as it was my first day with my new MX 5800. I wasn't grappling anything particularly awkward or heavy either, just a piece of log about 48" long. You can tell this particular weld wasn't terribly good, and I've read in forums about the odd poor weld in the wildkat e series, so I'm not terribly shocked. A new weld in the morning and I'm sure it will be better than new. Then, it's back to work....or play...I can't tell the difference anymore.
Great grapple otherwise, it handles stumps well and the weight seems fine.

That's not a weld that's solder!
