Anyone have a 17 super duty?

Got the tractor and shredder loaded up. Have some more mowing to do in the am about an hour away. Backed the batwing on and it looks much better. I'll see how it rides this way

That's an awesome rig and load out!

You may want to put a black tarp over that big dual lid grapple, the grapple police with getcha for excess capacity! :laughing: I just got word today that my dual lid is on its way!!

Haha. I'm taking island tractors advise and going with a small grapple on a big tractor to maximize my lift capacity. That was the one for my 5055e, the original wicked grapple for compact tractor. So far it's holding up to 100hp but I really wish it could take a bigger bite. It's a great product and your gonna love your new grapple.

By a bigger bite, do you mean lids that open wider, or ?. What's the advertised lift capacity of that tractor? It looks like a beast.

Thanks!! From all the postings and video's I've been looking at all the things I can get done with it plus a couple different ideas I want to try out with it.

Of course larger opening would be great but one that is a little deeper too. I think those two things would go hand in hand. My current one is at home on a 30-40hp compact tractor and balances the size and weight perfectly. EA didn't make a utility tractor grapple until a while after I had mine. It works great but things would be sped up by having one sized to the tractor. In the mean time, this thing saves me a ton of work and has paid for it self many times over. I let a guy use it for his mx5200 and it was a perfect match. Really tried to sell it to him. As it sits, there's nothing wrong with it other than I wish it could hold a little more brush.

Lift at full height at the pins is 3700, at 59" it's 5k

Got the truck back from the dealer and she runs like a champ again. One injector replaced. No questions or accusations of bad fuel. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

Good deal. Was wondering. Did they have a loaner for you?

I didn't even ask. I also have a 2016 duramax 2500 and just drove it around while the 450 was in the shop.

Generally a loaner isn't part of the standard warranty. If you opt for the "Ford Premium Care" warranty at an additional cost, then loaners are provided.
