WICKED Utility Grapple!!!

[EverythingAttachments]

Who wants to carry a few hundred pounds of dead weight around, making your tractor feel sluggish and less agile for nothing??

Installing an 800-1000 pound grapple on a large compact or utility tractor under 80hp just doesn't make sense.
The perfect grapple for those tractors was needed, so now we are making one in the 500-600 pound range that will maximize efficiency without sacrificing strength and durability.

Ted stayed true to the original proven Wicked Grapple design and the finished product is Outstanding!!

The 73" Wicked Utility Grapple is complete. It's now ready for pics and a product video with Ted.
After that, Ted will punish it with his new L6060 Kubota.

We will offer this grapple in 55" and 73" widths.
The lids will open 42.5" wide courtesy of 2.5" x 10" cylinders.
The 73" weighs 665 pounds.

We are taking orders now!

55" Introductory Price is $2,490.00
73" Introductory Price is $2,631.00

Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach will be standard.
Special build fee for the JD 400/500 style carrier and Global Carrier is $125 additional.

We'd love to hear your comments. Any questions? Ask away!!

Good to hear Rocky! This new grapple has a lot in common with the Compact Wicked Grapple like you have.

We've been getting a lot of calls from people with larger tractors that want the Wicked Grapple, so we scaled it up.
This new model is truly ideal for the mega compact and utility tractors.

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.

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???

 

[EverythingAttachments]

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.

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!
