I've got one coming today! Ordered it last Thursday.For less than half the price than EA within a few days of ordering...a no brainer.Don't care if it's not the greatest ever.It will pick up trees, brush etc.just like the high dollar wait 4 months to arrive brand.It's also made in the USA which matters to me.

Good for you. With all that money you saved you can buy another attachment. Or just feel good about saving lots of money. :thumbsup:
Grapples are a fairly basic attachment, no sense breaking the bank to move some brush and wood.
Glad to hear the shipping date for EA grapples are within a short time frame from ordering.Wish ya'll nothing but success.

I am having this same dilemma. I saw the EA factory today and was very impressed with the quality. Unfortunately every dollar counts and I am trying very hard to justify the additional dollars. In the end this is probably something I'll only need for a couple of years at the most. I called MTL this morning and I'm still waiting for a return call. MTL's website doesn't list the weights that I can see and I want a little more info before I buy. I can honestly say that I have spoken to Travis twice at EA and my phone call was always answered and I've never had to wait or leave a message. Customer service is definitely worth something. Too many choices.

This one looks interesting for $550.

No doubt EA makes great equipment and Travis is a great asset to EA. But as soon as your order is processed by EA you will not hear from them again. So is it worth another thousand (or more) dollars for something you will use for a few years? I would say no. My cows do not care what my grapples look like. They are not as wicked looking but who cares? Make no mistake, if your buy EA you will get a very good product but you will PAY to have Travis answer the phone on the first ring and you will PAY for that fancy new factory. MTL will get you a lower priced grapple that will pick up your brush and wood just as well. You might need to wait for a call back or call twice. Just my :2cents:
