This was posted by Mutz in other TBN threads recently, but how can I not share such beauty??
It shows off his new Kubota M62 and 72" Dual Lid Wicked Grapple like a BOSS!

P.S. If this is a cell phone pic, I wanna know which one!!

Randy from South Dakota says the 60" Single Lid Wicked Grapple fits his brand new John Deere 3046R with the H165 loader perfectly.
I can't agree more. We sell lots to Kubota guys, but the Deere game is really stepping up this year!

Hmmmm....M7060....
Does this make you want one even more? :laughing:

Bradd from NY...M7060 and 73" Single Lid Wicked Grapple!
How bout this? Bradd always uses the grapple to rip up scrub when bush hogging with his EA Brush Cutter. Pulling it up by the roots keeps the junk from growing back!
Hide-a-Grapple!

I have one on order now
I can't believe that guy is trashing his new tractor. That is surely what he will do as others have told me on here when I mentioned pushing over trees and clearing land, lol.Mikejeakins

Pushing over a few trees is no big deal. Clearing land is about the hardest thing you can do to equipment and a tractor isn't up to the task.

Putting your operating ability or land clearing experience aside why would you buy a tractor. A backhoe or CTL would be a way better choice.

If I was solely aiming to clear land I would but I have lots of other uses normal tractor uses also, both for myself fan for hire. In a word, versatility.

The trees I have won't be nearly that hard to deal with. The ground in that video is dry and hard too, mine has been saturated for the last year. A 7060 will have a bit more leverage and traction too. I'll have a full set of weights and the big front tires and have them loaded also, and loaded cast rears too

I actually thought his tractor was a 7060 when I posted the video, but he sent me a message correcting it!!
Being a 5660 makes it a little more impressive!

Here's another M7060 playing hide the grapple with a 73" Dual Lid Wicked one!

Hugh from Georgia posted this pics in the EA Channel Group. He has our lightweight 50" Single Lid Wicked Grapple pinned onto his Kubota LA364 loader.

"Cleaning up after Irma using my Kubota B2920 and EA Grapple with EA Box Blade on the back for weight. The trunk is 32+ inches in diameter so the logs weigh around 400 lbs a piece. No way I could have moved them without the grapple."

Derrick from Michigan posted these pics in the EA Channel Group over the weekend.
It's a little unconventional, but I can't get enough!!
Kubota L6060 with a 73" Dual Lid Wicked Grapple. Oh, the little Honda 4518 was released unharmed. :laughing:

That’s what you would call catch and release.

I hesitate to re-open the discussion about grapple width but the previous discussion has produced more heat than light. I'm about to order a Wicked root grapple for my Branson 3725. It'll be dual lid. Uses will be to pull up and transport brush (poison oak and coyotebrush), and move logs and rounds. I may do some raking of forest debris but not much as our land's too steep. The weight difference between the widths is in the tens of pounds so that's not a factor. It seems like a wider grapple would be able to grab more brush and rounds than a narrower one. For logs I think width won't matter much. I'm mostly considering the 60" and 66" models. My bucket's 67" across the inside so I'm already used to that width. The 66" has the lids farther apart than the smaller models, what practical difference does that make?
