Grapple On!

[adventure bob]

This thing went on real easy, picks up everything and looks **** cool on the front of a tractor.

Let us know how you like that Grapple. I am looking at buying one of the smaller ones.

I sure like my EA "wicked" 50 inch single lid. It has done everything I need so far.

I have moved about 6 16 foot trailer loads of slash, a couple of really big stumps and crushed the pallet it came on. I have a forest of burnt trees to take out so it'll be used. The thing I really like is when cutting logs into fire wood lengths, you pick em up to working height and go to town with the chainsaw. No more bending down and no more stabbing the chainsaw into the dirt by accident.

So far Im loving it. I do need some weight on the back end though. Got tippy a couple of times moving some bigger stuff. I've had the tractor just over a month or so and it'll be going in for its 50hr before Christmas. I'm gonna have 'em fill the tires with Rim guard. I can see how you could end up on your side really easy.

The Rimguard will help a lot, but you still need some 3pt weight too to gain the maximum ability of your loader and to help "unload" your front axle. The Rimguard will help too when you are on sidehills to lower the center of gravity as the majority of the Rimguard will be below the rear axle, and will also help if you pull ground engaging equipment (boxblades, grader blades plows etc)

That's a good looking grapple. You'll wonder how you got along with out it. I only have a bucket grapple but, it's better than no grapple at all. Where you located ??? All that snow !!!! We will get snow once in a blue moon down here!!!

 

[adventure bob]

Were getting hammered right now. The snow you see in the pics is a light dusting. Ill get a snowblower eventually. I have a small JD with a big blower on it, but it doesn't have the coziness of a cab with heat. I have to bundle up like I'm going to walk though the Siberian outback when I use it.

What size is that grapple? Is that the EA Wicked grapple?

 

[adventure bob]

Its a 66" Wicked. Loving it so far and it seems like itll stand up to abuse.

Nice grapple! And tractor! My grapple is on over 75% of the time I bet.
