WICKED Grapple Rake for SMALL Tractors

[heavy hammer]

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.

Hey Mr. Pilot!

I saw the video, but we haven't experienced one failure in that area that I'm aware of. Pretty sure we shortened those hoses since the video was made, but the hoses have a protective rubber coating, then stainless steel braids and then the hose which carries the fluid is on the inside. I've been whittling on one with a serrated knife for a while and it would still hold pressure. They're tough!

The recommendations by tractor hasn't been updated in a while on the website, but I'll be glad to assist you here, or on the phone, anytime! The most popular model for an L3400, if you want to absolutely maximize your tractor's ability, is the 239 pound Wicked 55. It has been our most popular and shown off grapple for years!

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.

I always enjoy giving factory tours and showing off the various stages of our products, man! I'm so glad you made the right choice and joined the EA Family!!

These pics of a new, black Wicked BX grapple were just shared in the Everything Attachments Channel. It's installed on a Kubota BX23S, which is outfitted with a Custom WR Long true 3rd Function Kit.

Most all EA Wicked Grapples are IN STOCK for QUICK SHIPPING!!!

Has anyone put a Wicked 60 on a Kubota 3301. Did you loose much lifting ability. Did you wish you had gotten the 55Conversely, has anyone put a Wicked 55 on one and wish they had gotten the 60.

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.

Maybe use a CH47D for lifting that brush, and those fallen trees?

Wicked 55 sales continue to amaze us, much like the tractor maximization amazes owners. I recently put together these pics of the grapple on compact Mahindra tractors!

Each rake style Wicked Grapple proudly leaves here with a HARDOX IN MY BODY decal, referencing the AR450 Hardox Wear Plate it is composed of.

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

We've sold lots for pretty much every subcompact tractor, but I don't recall putting one on the 2400 or 2800 Branson. If you have universal quick attach, you'll be golden!!

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.

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.

Unfortunately it is still on the back of my truck as I am still stuck working on the road. Not complaining though as I still have a job I'll let you guys know.
