That looks badass. You should offer it in clear.

Better yet - since you pride yourselves on "putting the needs of our customers above our own", you should offer custom color options for attachments. Anything other than puke yellow would be great, but I think offering a red, Kubota orange and Ag green would be great.

Don't forget that many of us have Blue tractors?

Grape vines covered a big tree and killed it. Of course it fell from the neighbor's side across the fence onto our side.

This was our heaviest lift so far.

All this debris and more was moved off the fence and into a burn pile. Back in the bad old days we would have cut it all up, loaded it into a trailer and unloaded it by hand.

We would not even consider changing attachments while we feed, but the quick attach has made it possible. My ranch hand of 40 years having his way with the round bales sans Wicked.

The Wicked has changed everything for the better.

Those are great! Pics in this thread are encouraged.
Thanks for sharing.

We just received this great review of a 66" Wicked Root Grapple.

"Now I'm not very big on praise, as I have the bar set pretty high when it comes to my expectations of items I purchase. When I was in the market for some kind of grapple bucket for my new Kubota L4701 I did my research and came across your company. Everything I read was positive, quality, customer service, free delivery and the online videos were invaluable in helping me choose my attachment and learn who to use it most effectively. Still unsure I called your company to double check I was purchasing the correct attachment for my job. I was reassured I had crossed the correct one and placed my order for 66 Wicked Root Grapple. According to goggle I live 968 miles away from your facility and the free shipping was honored (within 1,000 miles). I live in the Maine woods and use my grapple for moving large logs around for sawing and clearing brush mostly. I had an annoying stump that had been in my way for a while so I decided to test the grapple to see if it could get it out of the ground. After 30 minutes of digging and prying and pulling my grapple freed the stump which was so big my tractor could not lift it! All without any damage to the grapple. I also own a construction company for which the real job of my grapple came into play. I had been tasked to remove and old house from a lot we were going to develop soon. Instead of hiring an excavator I wanted to see what my new grapple could do. After a full week of work my "little" Kubota L4701 and my 66" Wicked Root Grapple had completely torn down a two story house broken it up and sorted the wood, which was burned, and loaded half a dozen 30 yard roll off containers for disposal. This saved me about $15,000 in site work clean up costs. The performance of the grapple far exceeded my expectations. The only damage to the grapple was a slight bend in the top of the metal clamping arm between the two tines. This is barley perceivable and dose not in any way effect the operation of the grapple. I can only say this grapple was everything promised and more! The strength and light weight were an engineering masterpiece! I will definitely be purchasing many more attachments for Everything Attachments, thank you for exceeding my expectations!"

Put in a few hours clearing logging debris this past weekend and was very impressed with the 60" single lid grapple. I put it through some hard paces and had no real issues. I did have to adjust my bottom cylinder clevis out a few turns after initial strenuous use so that the lid would close tight, but that was it. Very easy to do and it looks like about half of the shaft threading is still inside the clevis, so hopefully that will maintain max strength.

I'm going to have to pace myself and be patient as it would be very easy to spend all day and all night moving brush and dead-fall around into piles for burning or mulching, especially for an OCD guy like me! Overall very pleased so far, and I don't think one man would have been able to do the work I did without a grapple, at least in the amount of time I had.

I found that this was the best way to move the larger logs out of the tight wooded spaces. (The hauls like this were likely where the air space was worked out of the cylinder.)

Two quick root grubbing passes and a love tap up high helped get this 8" dead tree uprooted for moving to the burn pile. (The top of tree that fell off is just to the left and I grabbed it with this stump and trunk in the same run just after this picture was taken.)

Another satisfied customer!
Donald from Maine wrote this after he received his 66" Wicked Grapple.

"I am very happy with this implement. It is a lot more rugged then I thought. You shipped it earlier then you said and that made me even happier. Thank so much for your great product. I plan to purchase many more from you. Thank you Ted for your information and knowledge on YouTube; it is very helpful. I would like to come down sometime and see your factory. Thank you Rick for having patience while I dealt with the bank, you are all very helpful and I will definitely be dealing with you in the future. Thank you very much!"

Beautiful scene.
John Deere 1025R with a 50" Wicked Grapple.
That is a beautiful scene. It's just the scene that just might make me purchase my own EA 50" WRG. For days I've been looking at grapples for my JD 1025R/H120 combo. Considered the Artillian option but just a little pricey for me.

Just need to find out if there's a suitable loading dock to have it delivered to.

My local feed store where I do a lot of business was more than willing to receive it and then later at my convenience load it onto my 3/4 ton.

You'll love it. I've posted quite a few Wicked Grapple photos on the EA Facebook page also.

If you're around Dawson, GA, there's a Fed-Ex freight terminal at 1116 CENTENNIAL AVE ALBANY , GA 31707 that will load it onto your truck/trailer for no charge.
