LOVE MY GRAPPLE!!!! Not sure how I made it before without the grapple.:cool2: My concern of root grapple vs the Landpride grapple I bought is now resolved. Believe the LP I bought is right for me and my needs. Can come under rocks and then close or can drop down on rocks and claw grab them, both work effectively. Grabbing a bunch of tree limbs seems to be working fairly well with one I have. I come up and keep pushing and then close with a bunch picked up. I will use bucket to transport "stuff" so the longer bottom isn't needed for my purposes. Sure both would work fine for most people but always that special need one person has vs what another persons plans/needs are. Moving firewood after cutting would be better served with the EA grapple, I believe by being able to load more on the bigger flat bottom. I believe mine will pick up rocks better/easier by undercutting the rock with the more pointed ends of the lower claw but the drop down claw method would work as effective with either style, in my opinion. Ted on EA seemed to prefer claw picking up of "stuff" from watching his video.
My advise, get one of either style after determining your specific needs. GREAT ATTACHMENT FOR YOUR TRACTOR!!!!!!!:drink:
