I agree I talked with them before buying. They will have the best advise.
Have two questions about the EA grapples. I just saw a video that reviewed the wicked 55. The guy had an issue with the two top horizontal hoses wearing were they come out of the C channel to cylinders. Does anyone else have this issue and if so what is the solution. My other question is what grapple would you recommend for a Kubota L3400 with LA463 FEL. The EA site recommends the Compact Tractor Root Grapple 1RGCMP, but at 455lbs I think this maybe to heavy. I'm thinking the wicked 55 at 240lbs. But it doesn't come up as one of their "recommended for this tractor". I'll be using it to move brush and fallen trees, oak and pine 12+ in diameter.
I was able to ride up to their shop today and the quality of their product is immediately noticeable. Travis took me out into the shop and out in the yard and I am still on the fence about which one to get. I can say that I doubt anyone will tear up that wicked 55. I looked at their 50" grapple and I doubt that I could tear that up unless I was trying to and even then I'd be surprised. Those teeth are much thicker than they look in the videos.
Travis, thanks for your time today and glad to see a NC company building such an awesome product.
OUCH! I could turn a few nice bowls out that hunk!Another Amazing BX23S pic from the EA Channel Group! This tractor has a universal quick attach with a 239 pound Wicked 55 grapple.

Used my EA 55 Wicked Root Grapple to move some stumps to the washout we have in the back pasture while we were burning some of the brush.

Has anyone used one of these on a Branson 2400 or 2800?


Spoke with Travis on the phone and he helped me decide on the 55" wicked grapple for my tractor and needs. Ordering over phone was very easy. I ordered on the 7th of April and got a shipping notice on the 8th of April. Only problem with that is my wife will see the grapple before me because I am still working on the road, lol. I cannot wait to try this thing.
I try to make it REALLY easy for you guys to buy the good stuff!!
Thanks for the business. Did you try it yet?!?

Gave EA wicked grapple a work out today.

We moved some old hay bales to the ditch.

We have some old equipment (4-bottom plow) that we needed to move to a different barn. The Tractor with the class 2 hitch had a mower hooked up to it, so grabbed it with the grapple. It was pushing the limit of the tractor, but made it to the barn in the back pasture and was able to set it right where dad wanted it.
