The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!!!

[rustyshakelford]

Kinda overkill IMO. The h240 doesn't even lift as much as my Kioti KL401 and I've been fine with a 48" 320lb light duty grapple for over seven years with no issues.

Why 72"? Need a good reason for that as otherwise a narrower grapple weighs less so has bigger net payload and is also more maneuverable and can dig more effectively. No rule that says a grapple should be same width as standard bucket.

I'd go for the new medium duty EA ??54 or 60 that uses the same upper jaw as the EA light duty 54".

I think you might have my tractor and loader confused with some other one. I compared the specs of mine vs the one you mentioned, my tractor is pretty stout and heavy. I think I'll get the 72" wicked grapple at a minimum. Anything less would probably get torn up or bent. I'm more than likely going to order soon and weld on a JD global carrier mount.

I am not familiar with JD but saw the specs on the H240 indicate just shy of 2700lb lift capacity. My Kioti has 2760 lift capacity.

No benefit to wide grapples unless you are collecting construction debris IMO. Read multiple discussions on that topic here on TBN.

Think you read bad info

Very nice looking tractor.

Here's a review from Jeff in Alabama. He has our 60" Wicked Grapple installed on his MX5200 Kubota.

"Put this on a new Kubota MX5200, greased it up, hooked up the hydraulics, and started to clean up an area that was logged about 8 years ago. I had a leak in the middle hydraulic coupling and wound up tightening about 5 connectors. I proceeded to put it through its paces. I created 3 different burn piles of massive proportions. I hauled logs, stumps, rocks, bushes, brush, briars, etc. I couldn't wipe the grin off of my face. This is a very well engineered piece of equipment. I don't know how I would be able to live on my property without it.

Also, EverythingAttachments delivered the grapple in record time, and I had it picked up before my new tractor was delivered. They made sure it had the right connectors with the right length hoses (needed mine a little longer since the front hydraulics were side mounted). I've emailed and spoken with Travis and he has been incredibly helpful. I highly recommend the Wicked Root Grapple and EverythingAttachments!"

Here are a few words from Tom in VT. He has our 66" Wicked Grapple installed on his JD with a 400 series loader.

"Grapple arrived very quickly in perfect condition. Grapple is nicely manufactured in the USA, welds are all clean and neat, and grapple has a quality coat of paint. Fit perfectly on a JD quick attach loader. Very pleased with the grapple and the ordering experience! Definitely recommend!"

Mine arrived today! About to go out and work it. Really quick getting here and fit my SSQA perfectly. I greased everything and couldn't be happier.

I am not seeing the picture for some reason.

I'm planning on getting a Wicked root grapple and I'm wanting to get a 72" bush hog. Do they come with a stump jumper?

Yes sir. Ours is modeled after a Land Pride RCR1872, but we didn't stop there.
I show a few things that we improved in this thread: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...ything-attachments-rotary-cutter-first-5.html
