WICKED Grapple Rake for SMALL Tractors

[EverythingAttachments]

Check out this little grapple.
48" with a BX pin on mount.
54" with skid steer & JD quick attach.

These will be GREAT for small tractors like the B/BX Kubota, 1025R John Deere, 2xxx serie JD and similar.

Let us know what you think.
More to come....

That looks great but loose the logo in the middle. It's gonna get busted real quick. I have a similar one from Anbo and I've added a spring hose holder to manage the hose properly an will fabricate a cage on the fixed part to cover the opening when it is open.

I love the logo. I don't think any BX is going to be able to damage it. Looks like another good job, EA.

Thanks! :thumbsup:
The logo is on a 1/4" plate of AR400, so it shouldn't be getting busted, especially on a subcompact or small compact tractor.

I do not have pics yet, but we have an excellent way of routing the hoses to keep them neatly tucked and out of the way.

Thanks!
This grapple is made from AR400 steel, so a BX shouldn't come close to damaging it.
The 54" will be awesome on a CK27 and the B Series Kubota. We'll be testing it with our Kubota B3350.

What are the two drilled holes on either side of the top grapple for?

Hydraulic cylinders.

These holes in the lid are used during manufacturing/paint and otherwise serves no useful purpose.
I bet someone will rig something up though! :laughing:

Bonus points for it being AN400 steel. If I were in the market for a grapple, I would have considered yours but I wouldn't like the logo simply because it conveys negatives with regards to extra $ I'd pay to have that there and the maintenance of just that small real estate. (Think cleaning) If you sold this without that logo, I truly believe you'll appeal to a broader reach of guys.

We could easily leave it off by request, but i'm guessing you'll be the only one to request it!

If that's an option, more power to you guys. I'd buy it if I need a 4' wide grapple! Look forward to seeing your progress!

More pics. I'm hoping to have it on our BX soon!

I'm still thinking the Single Lid Wicked Root Grapple for Compact Tractors for me. 100 pound weight penalty, but I'm in the desert... no trees, just brush. Just waiting on the budget.

Travis, I don't see grease zerks on the lid bushings on this new rake grapple?

:thumbsup: We'll be ready when you are!

The final grapples that ship out will have zerks!

Assuming this grapple is going to be SSQA compatible? I'd eventually like to get a narrow lightweight grapple like this for loading saw logs and firewood logs and moving/stacking boulders with my L3901. For a lot of what I do anything wider than a set of forks becomes a bit unnecessary. I really like this design though.

I'm in the group that likes a grapple narrower than the bucket.

For the BX, I'd like about 36 wide with a single cylinder 12 inch lid. That would add to the lift, too.

I like narrow also. I haven't really mentioned our NEW Mini Wicked Grapple, which is an alternative for those who like L shaped grapples. This one is just wide enough to put the BX pin on mounts on it.
For comparison, our 50" Wicked Grapple is on the tractor.

We are going to make a 54" model with SSQA. The cylinders are on the outer edges of the grapple, so 54" is about as narrow as it can get.
We are really rating these for subcompacts and small compacts, so the L3901 is stretching it!!
Our 60" Grapple Rake is a little wider, but it is bomb proof on larger compacts!

I like the new grapple rake. If I was in the market to buy a grapple for a small tractor I go with style because it would be easier to load over the side of a truck or trailer with. With root grapple you have to curl to dump you loose lift height. That would not be a problem for a grapple rake.

The 48" BX Grapple is now ORANGE! We're plumbing the cylinders now.

What do you guys think of the orange color vs. our traditional Wicked black?
