The Wicked 66 Grapple Rake performed flawlessly on our M6-141. It is truly a Utility Tractor's dream grapple, guys! Yes, Ted punished it pretty good. :laughing:

This new Wicked beast is now LIVE on our website with a special introductory price of $2,970.
Here is a video with Ted going over a few details and then using it on the M6-141.

Ted. I have a product idea for you. Why dont you guys make a GOOD, bolt-on grill guard for CUT tractors? Maybe make a set up similar to the way the John Deere "deluxe" Mesh pannels bolts to the existing front guards on these small tractors. So many of us owners need to re-invent the bush guards when using these grapples. Saving a punched radiator or broken headlights or hood would easliy pay for the upgraded guards. Most of these guards are somewhat universal in size.....so a bolt-on guard that has some adjustability may fit a host of tractors. I have a design in mind if your interested. (I used to design stuff like this for a living - now retired).
I'd be a customer on my new L 3360 HSTC tractor. (at this point I plan to take the guard off this fall and bring it to a fab shop whom will make the existing guard more reasonable for operating in brush). Seems to me there would be a good market?

I've received several inquiries for those, so it may be something we should look at in the future! I see people in the facebook group doing it all the time. You're right, it would be money well spent.
Thanks for thinking of us, but we're currently experiencing more demand than ever, so anything new is on the back burner.
Next good question... Why on earth would you introduce a new grapple model? It was my idea, but I guess we need our heads examined. :laughing:
I just wanted the ability to supply an IDEAL rake style grapple for subcompact tractors up to 100 hp tractors. Mission Accomplished.

This new Wicked 66 has been performing Awesome out in the field. Premium materials such as AR 450 steel tine construction with laser serrations along with incredibly strong DOM tubing leaves this grapple alone at the top.
We mention the primo DOM tubing, but who actually knows what it is? Here's an explanation:
DOM, or Drawn Over Mandrel, tubing is made from a cold-drawn electrical resistance welded tube that is drawn through a die and over a mandrel to create dimensional accuracy, dependable weld integrity and an excellent surface finish(which we manually scuff so the paint will hang on). DOM has high tensile and yield strength, so It is generally chosen over welded tube where high pressure or large workloads are needed such as the manufacturing of race cars and motorcycle frames. Add Wicked Grapple rakes to the list!!
