There is a long thread about Everything Attachments, but does anybody have any experience with skidsteerattachmentdepot.com? Thinking about buying a grapple and pallet forks from them, and just want to make sure that I won稚 regret it. Thanks.

Are they close to where you live?

If you're looking for a budget conscious grapple, check out MTL Attachments. 2019 versions have lids that are greasable, tines are one piece and have protected hoses.

I have a 60" dual lid for my 55hp and love it. Delivered for under $1k.

I bought my Danuser Intimidator from them at a fair/good price as they're "local" for me (<50 miles), and a coworker has bought a set of pallet forks from them and has been happy with it.

So while bother were in-person purchases it's a couple of data points for consideration.

Overall, my impression has been that it's a relatively small operation with good people -- and from what I briefly saw on their lot when I was there, I'd say the pictures on their website are production representative (i.e. not just marketing fluff).

Well I ordered a grapple and some forks from these guys. Freight wasn’t terrible for residential delivery, so hopefully I’ll have the attachments by the end of the week. Will post how the experience goes.

I just purchased from them 66" root grapple($1050.00 most everywhere else I found this same exact unit for 2000.00+plus), DanuserEP10 hyd post hole unit(1850.00 some places want 2800.00 for exact same unit) with 6,9,&12" augers, and a set of Bradco 60"W x 48" tine pallet forks for 950.00 or 1050.00 can't remember(everywhere else I looked those were 1800.00+). $299.00 shipping across the U.S. So yes they are the best price company I have ever found, anywhere. They said there business model is to sell high volume at lower prices. Took about a week to get everything. I highly recommend A+

Yep, high quality implements without the extreme price tag.

I like their buckets too. Anyone have one of the stump buckets from them?

"I like their buckets too. Anyone have one of the stump buckets from them?"

I don't have their stump bucket, but I do have a similar unit as their Skid Steer Tree Spade Stump Bucket Attachment - Free Ship - Skid Steer Attachment Depot
I bought something of similar design except it has a grapple #23 Spade Grapple | MS Attachments

The only time I felt the grapple was in the way was when I was transplanting a peach tree. For pulling out stumps, you can't beat the grapple.
I owned a regular flat bottom stump bucket several years ago and I like the rounded spade style better. I think it penetrates the ground easier.

Because of the limited breakout force of small loaders I decided to go with the grapple model. Once you get a hold of it you can back the tractor up. This way you can use the pulling power of the tractor rather than the lifting power of the loader.

With or without the grapple I would definitely recommend the round bottom model. Some of their equipment appears to be made by MS Attachments, so if you want a grapple model, it may be available through SSADepot even though it's not published.

I have a grapple that appears to be the same as 66" Extreme Duty Root Rake Clam Grapple with Teeth - Skid Steer Attachment Depot only I bought it from a different source at a slightly higher price. I can't imagine breaking it or wearing it out in my lifetime. The Wicked Grapple IMHO looks to be a good design, well made piece of equipment and it weighs 125 lbs less.
If you have plenty of lift capacity, as I did when I made my purchase, the 125 lbs savings may not be worth the almost 2x price.
If you have a smaller tractor, 125 lbs can make a big difference.

I like EA stuff. I think they put a lot of thought into their designs, but sometimes I can go with second best.:2cents:

MTL Attachments and Skid Steer Depot, are both resellers of attachments made by MS Attachments in Denton, NC.
I believe that both MTL and Skid Steer Depot may also resell attachments by other manufacturers.


You can buy/order direct from MS Attachments (Mid-State Attachments) 1-866-811-5319.
"Connie" .... there, is very accommodating.
MS Attachments is a family run business, and has excellent delivered pricing.

I will order a 66" grapple from them in the Spring, as I will not be at my residence to accept delivery until then.

I bought my 48" grapple from them when they were in Huntsville near Big Springs Park. Now they're almost out near Brownsboro/Owens Cross Roads off of Hwy 431.

No complaints. When I got home, I found out I had left my glasses there. I called them and asked them to mail them to me so I didn't have to make the +40 mile drive one way to pick them up. They did without complaint. I'd buy from them again.
