...of maybe 5 different ways? 1. get the grapple. 2. don't get the grapple. 3.get the $ refunded. 4. lose the $. 5. don't get the grapple AND lose the $. ??????

I don't know if this has been answered or not; why don't they continue to use the old factory until the new one gets torn down, fixed or brought up to code? The production may be slowed BUT they would still be in
business and not ruining their reputation and consumer confidence?

Best answer I could give him. Fretting and fussing about it on TBN is not going to change anything.

Sorry! I thought this was a discussion forum and the topic of this thread is "Everything Attachments".

It is, but as you are learning, the price you pay for putting your business on TBN is often the opinion's of all kinds of demented old buzzards and some also really wise folks. Always up to the OP to sort out what is useful and what is just Blah Blah Blah and not get too butt hurt about the dumb comments.

...That said, here's another opinion for all of you who have equipment ordered and not received. If you haven't already called your card company and began a refund process, what are you waiting for?

I had ordered a lift in 2022 and long story short, I tried to cancel from one company due to lengthy lead times after I ordered. The time they said when I pushed the pay now button was acceptable but after a week they come back and say it was a couple months out. Not acceptable for me at the time so I tried to cancel and thought I did and ordered same exact lift from the actual manufacturer of the lift. Then, the first lift said It was shipped (The one that was supposed to have been canceled). WTH!

So I then had to cancel the second lift before it also shipped. Well, that was a bit of a panic moment thinking I had two $3k lifts on their way to my house that weigh about #1,000. Not something you just carry into the UPS store to return.

I called my card company and began processing a cancelation of payment from them. Explained the situation and they started a return process. It sounds like this is your only option if no one from EA is picking up the phone.

Well, there is one other option, but you won't like the outcome I'm afraid.

Edit: Also, please do share what your CC company says when you call them, we are curious how they handle it.

Weird, never heard of any of those companies

Quite a few seem to do little real research before making a decision and spending their money.

... and get away with it because it is such a prices driven consumer economy. Which makes it even more disappointing regarding EA, they seemed to focus on quality and improving product not as much on price point.

For guys who make a living with their equipment, quality is paramount to price.

This appears to be where all the implement money went too:

Would like to have a Grapple but a lot of money for no more than I think I would use it. If I had a consistent use for it, I would have one. Looks like Homestead makes a lighter duty for smaller tractors too.

That much money on an ugly house. Well, that sure puts another light on the situation. Makes you feel bad for ole Ted doesn't it. I hope ole Ted paid cash for that house.
Everyone is blaming this on the fact that implements are being built in China but this is not China's fault.
About the CCs. If you go to the CC company they will refund your money and sue ole Ted for theirs.

They run anywhere from about $850- $1,000 for the ones with the good replaceable blades that can be re-sharpened.

I'm home today. I'll check that flow rate and let you know.
