Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

[lostcreekranch]

Received my second grapple Monday. It's a 73" Single Lid EA Wicked Grapple for Utility Tractors. It has a 42.5" jaw opening and really great for picking up large stacks of limbs, brush, etc.

Rick, beautiful property! I also saw the pics you posted in the tree shear thread as well. Got any more pics, a video tour of the property? LOL I like the buildings as well, very nice.

Here is my new HLA 60" I love it for what I am doing. Seems very well built yet light enough to be able to handle some heavy loads with the Boomer 41.

Very nice EONE, HLA makes some nice stuff. Refreshing to see another grappler not following the EA herd.

The excavator looks in great shape Woodchuck. I've seen them go for $30K with 7000 hrs. I also saw one for 25K with 3700 hrs. Perfect size machine for around the homestead.

Picked up the Wicked Compact 50" yesterday and giving it a test run. For the last week I've cutting scrub bushes and trees from the perimeter of my planted pines. Cleaned all that mess up this evening in about 3 hours.

Handy little thing isn't it?

It sure is. I can't believe how much lighter it is and feels on the tractor than the 48" WildKat that I had.

One thing I'm not really fond of is those sharp serrated teeth. Cedar trees and other small brush stick to them like Velcro making it aggravating to dump.

Has anybody ground down those sharp serrated points?

Yeah, I would not have serrated teeth if I had a choice. Gotta take the good with the not so good I guess. EA makes a nice unit all in all I have to say.

I agree, the grapple is nice. Everything is straight, good looking welds, fit and finish is great.

I bought the 44" Gorilla Grapple for picking up cedars, because I could stab them from any angle, not just parallel with the trunk.

No serrated teeth. :thumbsup:

With no teeth I bet they just slide right off.

Yep, drops like a rock.
