Root Grapple vs Root Rake Grapple

[EverythingAttachments]

The rakes have a shorter footprint so if working in tight spots is a concern then that's something to think about as well. It was for me working in the woods.

Good point, Eric. Your woods sure serve as a beautiful backdrop! :thumbsup:

If your tractor is on the small side and you will be loading brush into trailers or piling high, you might want to watch Ted's youtube video using the small wicked grapple. After watching him struggle dumping his load on a trailer, I opted to buy the EA root rake grapple and have been extremely happy with it.

So which one did you eventually end up with and how did it work out? Im waiting on my 55 inch wicked grapple to arrive!

Five years ago I purchased a Land Pride SGC 1560 Rock & Root grapple. It's VERY heavy duty - high strength steel - 60" wide - weight 820#.

I got this TYPE because - I have little to no brush. I deal with LARGE rocks and massive chunks of my Ponderosa pine. I wanted and got a very heavy duty unit. I did not want a unit that would bend or crumple with use. I have not had a single moments problem with this implement.

Also - notice the expanded metal that has been welded on the grill guard. Help prevent sticks, stobs, roots, etc from finding my grill, battery or radiator.
