Status of Everything Attachments

[aesanders]

It is hilarious.

The alledged situation with EA is not but the expectation that Rich expressed that someone should go knock on the door when he refuses to pick up the phone is beyond hilarious.

And it's always possible that a lot of this started because EA made a business decision to stop being a paid advertiser on TBN and that got twisted out of porportion.

Well, it’s on multiple sights. Facebook pages for Kubota, Kioti, TYM and more all have stories of EA’s demise. Some posted IM messages from employees saying the doors are locked. No proof of the situation, but sounds legit. If I had bought via credit card, I would be on the phone trying to get a refund right now. Glad I didn’t buy. Was very tempted on the Black Friday sale to order a Wicked Grapple, and so glad I didn’t. Good grapples can be had locally.

Candidly, I refrain from doing ANY business with neighbors or relatives. Far as people / entities paying me for services rendered, my hay customer for years paid upon delivery and established himself as reputable so I adjusted his schedule accordingly. Referred to 'past practice sets precedent'. Been dealing with the same person for 7 years now without a hiccup. Of course you cannot 'repo' consumed forage, to make a statement like that is just plan ignorant. Not something I'm concerned about anyway.

Just glad I no longer have to deal with people who don't pay or whine constantly. Makes my life very uncomplicated.

In retrospect, I usually deal with ATI instead. They are very well established and actually produce assemblies for the major tractor makers and they produce a very stout tooth bar as well as a very stout SSQA attachment for various FEL's, I know, I have 2 of them as well as their tooth bar and it has pinned on cutting teeth that are easily replaceable as well.

And ATI also advertises on TBN.

Some of us had to learn the hard way.

Oh, it's Chinese no doubt. But I can say it has worked great for me. I couldn't see investing 3 grand when I got this one for 900.

If you don't mind me asking what is the max gallons of flow or flow range on your unit? I am going to be using this for my business and I have a feeling that a 10" stump planer is going to test one pretty good on some stumps.

 

[workinonit]

I'm not certain. It didn't matter to me since I would not be approaching that number. I'm headed home today from Wilmington, NC and I'll look and let you know. How much is a stump planer for one? That sounds interesting.

Mine came with FF connectors and of course SS attach.

I called their phone number (828-464-1200) but only got a recorded message that no one was available to take my call. I was able to leave a message, so I gave my name, phone number, and order number and simply asked for status of my order and when I could expect delivery.

I also emailed Nate yesterday asking about this.

FYI, I noticed the following on the invoice I was emailed:

T.C. Corriher Implement Co. Inc.
DBA: Everything Attachments
1506 Emmanuel Church Rd
Conover, NC 28613
1-866-581-5818
1-828-464-1200

I never caught Ted's last name in the videos I watched, but I'm guessing "T.C. Corriher" is actually his name.

Yeah, right. I prefer to order through a local dealer who I will deal with face to face.

Obviously some do order implements and pay up front. If they are adults they presumably considered the risks of doing so when they decided to make the transaction. They considered the cost savings would be woth the risk. Life has it's pitfalls. If you are in the category of waiting for an EA order that was paid for and hasn't arrived I'm sorry.

Good luck. I hope it works out.

After much consideration I decided to put my thoughts to text.

Everything Attachments and Company may or may not be perfect, and or even completely moral and blameless in what is going on now.

What I would like to point out is, how many of us have purchased from them and reasonably or even completely satisfied?

I have read very little negative posts about them, and I have been a subscriber to this thread a long time.

Aldo, how many of us have viewed Teds vids over the years, either in entertainment or quest of learning something?
I am going to guess it is a pretty large segment of TBN.

Let’s give them a little bit of a break to see what is going on before we pile on!

After all, by most accounts, they built a pretty good product and a LOT of people wanted their product so bad they were willing to lay out their $$$ months ahead of time to be put on the list.

Exactly!

I'll ride it out till the expected delivery date of March. I also reached out concerning the status of my order. If I don't hear any communication from them, or see something otherwise, they can take it up with my CC company. I've had no reason to believe anything would have changed or this would have happened.

Again, it's a real shame if it's true.

 

[JustinE]

All anonymous, Doesn't lend much credibility to it, that could be rival employees for all anyone knows.

Considering some of them were posting manufacturing spec sheets and saying they were posting anonymously over threat of being sued, there's reasonable belief to say proceed with ordering from them at your own risk.

I'm not a hater. I'm hoping this is all rumors. Unfortunately, I'd proceed with caution until they address it.

I have a few pieces from EA. I didn't even seriously look at tractors till I saw a video of a grapple being used and decided it would make life better. And it has. When I ordered my grapple, it shipped relatively quick. A few days or a week. And as they got more popular and demand surged, the wait times increased. They just never changed their policy of taking payment up front. Waiting a week didn't seem unreasonable, but waiting 6 months really starts to, but many people justify it as a reputable company building the best grapples available.

Watching things unfold over the last few weeks has been disheartening. Seems it all started with problems with the new factory construction going bad. I don't believe they would have started that project if there was trouble on the horizon. But I can sure see where that could snowball into a big problem. I'll hope they figure out a way to keep going, even if someone else picks up the pieces and reinvents it. I still believe they make/made the best implements available for compact tractors and I'm glad I got what I needed while I could. And until I hear truth otherwise, I'll reserve any judgement and hope the best for all involved.

Is this the same company that has a Facebook group where the owner along with the fanboys trash pretty much all of the other brands and the owners who buy those brands? Yeah, doesn't look like a good company to me, but that's just my opinion after accidentally visiting that group once.

They run anywhere from about $850- $1,000 for the ones with the good replaceable blades that can be re-sharpened.

It's sold in a package deal with a wire stretcher.

Shingle stretcher too

 

[murphy1244]

40 years ago when we had a couple very young and very fresh apprentices working with us, we used to chase them around jobsites looking for our pipe stretchers, they would go from crew to crew looking for it, and each crew would send them to the next crew….

Funny thing is, they never did find one

I got sent for a electric air hammer when I was a Kid on my first job. Sent on a fools errand I looked and asked then sent somewhere else.
