Which WICKED Grapple? A Guide.

[EverythingAttachments]

Really love all your equipment. For a bx2380 with QA, that 55 just seems awfully big. I know it's only 200lbs, which is great, but most of the tractor pics you show using it are compacts or larger. The 48 is perfect size for the bx, but it's pin on. Really wish you could've worked in the QA on the 48. Was looking at a Worksaver scg-48s at the dealership. It has a QA. It was a decent grapple, much better than the LP, but not nearly as nice as the EA grapple. Just think the 48" is perfect size for a sub-compact.

Our root rake grapples are made the way root rake grapples should be, with the cylinders on the outer back portion of the grapple. This design results in the most clamping ability, the lid bottoms out on the frame, giving you the ability to rake loose materials backwards, and it keeps the load incredibly close to the tractor. It also means that a universal quick attach won't fit on anything smaller than 55" wide.
Those attributes are part of what is definitely the best small, universal quick attach equipped, tractor grapple on the planet.

I'll attach some pics of BX machines with the Wicked 55.

Man, that log and that boulder, extremely impressive.

So, the 55", for the bx, if i order 1 in the next couple of days, how far out are you telling people for delivery?

I am purchasing an LS4140 cab tractor

My main short term project will be removing saplings up to 3” in diameter in an area of about three acres. This area was logged many years ago and there are semi decayed stumps up to 14” that I also wish to remove.

My long term need is to process firewood that is delivered in 100” logs and stacked in a pile. I would like to pick up one log at a time from the stack.

Which grapple would you recommend and why.

Thanks

eubie5, the average lead time should be in the vicinity of 8 weeks. That's our best guess at this time.
We'll get you in line when you're ready!

Currently 120 people are waiting for a Wicked 55!!

My ultimate choice based on your tractor and applications is the Wicked 60 root rake grapple. It will greatly enhance your tractor's ability to remove the saplings because of its dozer geometry.
You'll also be able to pluck the logs off of a pile! It will also keep the load close and maximize your loader's lift capacity.

I'm looking for a wicked grapple to do mostly moving large rocks and digging up roots as well as moving brush obviously. I'm pretty sure I don't want to give up the load carrying versatility of the long bottom to gain a bit better root digging ability. I'm also thinking of getting a stump grinder to take care of a few stumps and the grapple is going to be used to dig up any remaining roots.

you mentioned the dual lid is better at grabbing loose firewood and I can definitely see myself doing that in the future. My main concern is about visibility because one of the uses I plan to use the grapple for is to pull out saplings but for that I need to see where I am pinching and from the few pics I have seen on your site that are from the drivers view. seems to me like the dual lid may have better visibility for that purpose.

I read a thread on here that someone built a sapling puller adapter plate to bolt on to the grappler but for the life of me I can't remember who did it and I can't seem to find the thread.

I think I have it narrowed down to a 54 or 60 inch long bottom dual lid. my front tires outside width is 63" but I was hoping to keep the grapple smaller for more maneuverability in the woods. tractor is a kubota 4740 cab with la854 loader

Does my reasoning make sense? What is the lead time on one of these?
