Which Wicked Grapple?
There really is no easy answer, so I came up with this "guide" to choosing the best grapple. Feel free to add your Wicked thoughts.
Descriptive photos for certain tasks will also be helpful. We can use this as a resource for new grapple shoppers!

First!!
Whatever you do...Demand The Best and Choose Wicked.
We know grapples because we use grapples. Not just for glamour shots and videos, either.
To maintain and maximize your tractor's lift capacity and agility, you MUST choose a properly sized grapple. We have IDEALLY sized and weighted grapples for various tractor sizes, so we can help you choose the BEST for yours.
If you want the best advice when choosing the IDEAL grapple for your tractor and application, decide to buy a Wicked Grapple and consult with the pros at Everything Attachments! You will NOT be disappointed.
Root Rake Style:
The dozer-like tine geometry of the rake style promotes a tractor's ability to push the tines through the ground with ease.
The root rake style allows you to pull brush, vines and other debris backwards, which isn't recommended with many long bottom grapples. Besides pulling backwards, you can also pull down. Reach up and snap a limb off the tree if you feel like it. The root rake style will easier "unload", so you can hover over the trailer, dumpster, pile, etc., open it up and whatever you've captured is gone!
Kubota BX
We make the best root rake style grapple for Kubota BX tractors with a 3 pin configuration. At 150 pounds, lift capacity is maximized.
The serrated upper and lower tines will hold the load and greasable pivot points are a must! We even added the bolt in runners like our 55 has!

Subcompact and small compact tractors under 40HP
Our 200 pound Wicked 55 rake style grapple has been amazingly popular and effective on subcompact and small compact tractors under 40 horsepower. It really ups a tractor's ability if it is starving for lift capacity.

35-65+HP Tractors
If you love the 55, but need heavier due to tractor size, our new Wicked 60 rake style grapple is it's juiced up bro. It is a 400 pound versatile brute unlike any other rake style grapple on the market.
3/8" AR400 construction and an added 3rd lid hinge makes it VERY rigid and capable!

35-70HP Tractors
If the main objective is sinking the tines in the ground to rip roots and stumps, our Xtreme Root Rake Grapple has longer, rigid, and aggressive 1/2" tines for all out root demolition! It also has fewer tines, so a tractor will be able to push it through the ground more efficiently. Having fewer upper and lower tines does make it less versatile for other grappling needs such as handling finer, loose material such as hay/manure or split firewood.

Original Wicked Long Bottom Models:
Because of the unique tine design, you will also be able to push our unobstructed long-bottom Wicked Grapple tines through the ground.
You should be able to grab a larger pile of brush with the traditional Wicked style because you can cradle and physically fit more inside it's "mouth". You can cradle things(logs, boulders, etc) with the flat bottom and stack items on it for transport. Heck, someone used it as a saw table recently. Our superior Wicked tine design is a step above any other long bottom grapple on the market!
Tractors under 35HP
If you have a tractor under 35 horsepower, prefer the longer bottom, and want to keep the weight down, our 50" single lid model, which weighs under 300 pounds, is probably the one for you!

Compact tractors with 35-65HP
The ones that started it all. Original Wicked here. Race Car Inspired.
For maneuverability I like 60 or 66? but width is debatable.
There's little weight difference between all of them, so it really boils down to what you like.
Single vs dual lid has about as much to do with personal preference as it does functionality. The single lid pics submitted by customers are impressive to say the least, but there are some situations where dual gets my vote. Dual lids clamp extremely awkward loads more efficiently and will grab loose material like firewood better.

Dual Lid Wicked Grapple for Compact Tractors
Large Compact & Utility Tractors with up to 75HP
This grapple ups the opening to 42", which increases capacity and weight(only to the 600 pound range) for the bigger tractors. If you have a larger compact tractor like our L6060, Kioti NX, JD 4066R, and are more concerned with capacity than maximizing your lifting ability, these guys may be for you.

Dual Lid Wicked Grapple for Large Compact and Utility Tractors
Large Utility Tractors up to 125HP
Big guys matter, too, so demand pushed us to make the largest Wicked Grapple in existence. Ted tested with the Kubota M6-141, so we know it's STRONG.
It maintains our signature Wicked serrations and adds an exclusive EA design feature: Serrated Bolt in Wicked plates for shearing and ripping.

If you need a 3rd function kit to actuate the grapple, we have you covered there as well.

Take $50 when buying the grapple and kit together.
