I ordered my 60" EA Grapple on Monday.

Looking forward to a new toy... er I mean tool!

Just starting week 2 waiting for my wicked 55 grapple. Way too wet to use it anyway, but still looking forward to it.

SmokeyDog touched on a subject back on post #20. BEFORE you get your grapple. Do something to your grill guard. Most OEM grill guards will stop stuff the size of garbage cans - not much else. Your joy of a new grapple will fade if you put a limb, stick or stob thru the radiator, grill or battery.

Yeah, that’s coming up for me. Need to find some expanded metal.

24"x24" carbon steel expanded metal was about $50 from Mcmaster Carr

Went to the local metal shop and got a 21x50 cutoff of expanded metal for $12. Might get it cut and welded in tonight.

Beautiful! Still waiting on my email. My grill guard is at the welder to have some expanded metal welded on too. Enjoy!

Finally got my email...shipping today!

Congrats! I ought to have about 2 more weeks before my grapple ships, also waiting anxiously.

Here she is- got her dirty the first day! Just practicing I managed to clean up about 100 yards of fence line limbs and brush under the trees. Gonna love it!!! :cool2:

I'm finally getting ready to pull the trigger on a wicked EA, but one remaining question...60 or 66. Main question is regarding the lid spacing - the 60 is 8.5" apart and the 66" is 17" apart. My first hunch is that I like them closer together to make picking up items in the center of the grapple easier, but I'm sure having the lids spread farther apart has benefits too. Suggestions?
