Why does it seam like everything here on TBN turns into a circus? Glad to see that Roger is getting to build a grapple, something that he would rather have than another BB. But has anyone really thought just what planning needs to go into a kit vs a built attachment? I notice that EA is talking about tabs so the parts can be alined. How many of their attachments have them? Without them getting the parts in the correct location before welding is much harder. EA needs to create a manual that shows exactly how to do it in a way that someone who has never seen the assembled attachment. Anyone who thinks that's an easy thing to do really needs to try to do it. I'm sure as they do, if they don't get turned off by those who will never buy a kit from them, they are going to find they need to make alinement marks that they never needed when assembling in their plant.
I have to wonder just what will happen if the build doesn't go smoothly. Will the same people jump all over EA because they didn't get the directions right or not clear enough? Will they jump because nobody is working on the weekend when Roger picks up the phone with a question? I figure this is going to be a learning experience for both, how can anyone blame EA for wanting to send an attachment that has the greatest chance of a smooth assembly. I wish the attachments I would like to get soon, a plow and disc harrows, don't look like attachments that are labor intensive and would offer a savings if sold in kit form.
We are planning to ship Roger's 72" Wicked Grapple kit next week. He said he'd have the grapple lids tacked together and the hydraulic fittings screwed together loosely so they'll need to be sealed and tightened.
