Oh, and yeah, this is off topic, but maybe a warning shot some will want to take note of. One of the places I went to in order to look for another source for a grapple was the following:

All Products

Full line of Summit Tractors Attachments equipment. From Grapples and BoxPlanes to much more.

www.summittractorsattachments.com

Please note that EVERY item on that page states "Temporarily Out of Stock". I almost bought one of those tractors, but some things about it just didn't set well with me. So I passed on it. Maybe good thing I did....... I notice that Home Depot is no longer offering their product.

Anyway, maybe EA isn't the only one having troubles right now and we all need to keep our ears to the ground and take extra precautionary steps to protect ourselves. IMHO, anyway.

I am rather picky about what I want in a grapple. I want TEETH on those tines to grip the material being held. But yeah, the 4 to 6 week shipping time might be doable. I will just mark the date when 6 weeks is up, and let the seller know that if I do not have a shipping tracking number by that time then I will be disputing the payment. What I will do is to place the order on the day that the new monthly cycle begins on my credit card. That may even give me enough time to where I don't have to make payment until after that 6 week "drop dead" date has arrived. I always pay my credit card bills in full upon receipt. I am not paying that outrageous interest rate they charge.

Sounds like you make be one of those who never learns. If you don't get your grapple at end of 6 weeks are you coming back here to piz and moan about it?

At least they marked them out of stock instead of taking the order and then notifying the buyer of an indeterminate shipping delay.


I think you will satisfied with the Homestead. My experience with them was very good.
I placed my order on February 7th 2022
I received shipping notification on March 11, 2022
I received the landplane on or about March 20th 2022
New York to Washington state.
At the time I ordered their site said 6 to 8 weeks so I was surprised by the early arrival.
Good luck.

Just to give you something to "piz and moan" about, I just might regardless of the outcome. After all, what else would you have to do with your time?

I contacted another supplier about a grapple they provide. Guess what? ETA to me is 4 to 6 weeks. And they require payment UP FRONT.

The days of COD are long gone. Where have you been?

Typically, a seller will run a $1 hold on a CC. That's to make sure the card is valid. I don't think they can charge the full amount to your card until it's shipped. At least that's how it's been working for my shipped purchases. Even Amazon does it that way for large purchases from suppliers.

No. Homestead.

Got this on a chat with Summit Attachments

I have 2 EA and a bunch of LandPride attachments. So far both have been great. From now on its LP only for me, simply because I want to make sure the company is in business in 5 years. The fact that EA folded is surprising...they had good products. Obviously mismanaged.

If a place like Everything Attachments is large enough, then lose one company and it could also have ripple effects across the entire industry.

Like many of us I buy a fair amount of stuff online. No Amazon Prime.

A week or so for delivery isn't unexpected. I just decided to order a new chainsaw factory direct in the wee hours of the morning yesterday. By noon the same day the order was processed, and it is moving towards me today. The plan is to actually use the chainsaw the day it arrives, not next July. 2

There are very few items that I would not expect to at least be shipped within 7 days.
