Subcompact Grapple Action!!

EverythingAttachments · Feb 14, 2017

First thing yesterday morning, Ted told me he was going out to the factory for a little testing of our new EA Wicked Grapple Rake.
My first thought was....Video Time!!!

Nate packed up the cameras, made the ~5 mile trek to the factory, gathered up Peanut and they were filming in no time.

This was truly unplanned, but I think it's a good initial showing of our new Wicked Grapple rake in action.
A 54" Model, which will be offered with a universal quick attach(SSQA) and JD quick attach(JDQA), is COMING SOON!

48" BX MODEL WEIGHS 150 POUNDS FULLY DRESSED
54" should weigh 200 or less and we'll test it on our L6060 for good measure! Oh, it's gonna be good. I think it's the next breakthrough in small tractor grapples.

Here's a peek at the 54" with a JD quick attach.
It has our signature Wicked look!

Ted, Very nice! How did you plumb the hydraulics? Did it allow for lift ,curl, and grapple closing or opening all at once or does it interrupt lift or curl while opening and closing the grapple? I have a BX2660 and would have never thought it possible before seeing your video. You folks are awesome. God bless.

Thanks for asking, Daryle. We used a true 3rd function kit like this one by WR Long: 3rd function auxiliary hydraulic kits for all brands of tractors and loaders
Our new Wicked Grapple rake will be awesome on your BX!!
