Any Canadians out there with an EA 55" Wicked Grapple

I'm interested in what you paid in brokerage fees. That's the only unknown that's keeping me from ordering one. And yes, I contacted Travis and the shipping company he uses, no luck there. I'd like to hear from someone that went through the process and has "real world" numbers. Thanks!

I had mine shipped south of the border and picked it up myself (pre covid) so I only had to pay the taxes 15% here in Quebec. May be worth the drive to pick one up.

It's an 8 hour one way trip to the border plus it's still closed. This won't be an option for me, unfortunately.

I have a (made in Canada) HLA root and brush grapple that I really like for harvesting logs for firewood. You don't have to pay duty and shipping isn't a problem. They make a compact grapple as well. I don't know about price comparison but the quality of the bucket and grapple that I have is excellent.

I've looked into them. They're close to double the weight of the EA grapple. I'll go with a Land Pride from my dealer if I don't order an EA from the states.

Though I owned a house in Nova Scotia for many years, I never had that problem since I trailered everything across the border myself.
I do not have a suggestion for you, except the one fact,...... that EA makes absolutely the best attachments on the market!

I agree.

I agree.

What I found interesting, as a "seasonal resident" of Nova Scotia, I only had to pay the 5% GST on goods I brought across the border.
The 10% Provincial part of the 15% HST was waived.....for seasonal residents.
