EA Wicked 55" Root Rake Grapple Update

[@GenAfterNextTactics]

I've never seen a company put so much R&D into a root rake grapple design. It's good to see you stand behind your product though.

[@ocho27hd]

Quite literally “sits” behind his product!

[@4x4Moses]

I've said it before, I'll gladly buy new implements from Ted; but I'd NEVER buy a used tractor from him!

[@SlainteFromFlorida]

🤣

[@kendallt2020]

that tractor is a power wagon, im glad you showed a 55 w 60hp i was planning 55 grapple for 50hp you truly go above and beyond to show us and my kind of salesman. proving a 55 grapple can handle bigger loader speaks volume.

[@DUSTEATER2]

i bought that grapple about 5 yrs ago and had no problems at all. I've moved probably 50 logs and 140 telephone poles ( some twice.} I cut down the trees and use a stump bucket on the rest. I was worried using a root grapple on logs but no problem at all so far. EA products are expensive but worth every penny, thank you Ted.

[@deanbarr5740]

Wow, Ted that was a ultimate Stress Test on newly designed Root Grapple. It took everything you threw at it. Good job, and a great design on this implement.

[@jakehill322]

2 seconds later the tree is on the ground 😂😂😂 save that pecan wood for the smoker Ted!

[@danielconway75]

Ted you are so crazy!! Love it! I’m glad my order hasn’t shipped yet… looking forward to getting that beast on my tractor and seeing what I can do with all these Mesquites and Huisaches…

[@Greensville226]

OMG, if Ted can't break it. I won't come close to bending it!

[@MattN03]

I can't wait to get my Final Final Wickeder 55! :) Keep up the great work Ted & Everything Attachments!

[@FLXLife]

I could watch this all day.

[@ww3ok]

Wow! I am impressed how you test everything. I have one on order from you and I am glad.

[@joshuasmith1981]

I can't wait to get mine. I'm happy to see it'll take more abuse than I'll ever be able to throw at it. Nice work.

[@tedfelsberg5322]

Dang, he’s thorough ! Nice work, Ted

[@thehawkc]

I think you need so ballast in those tires. But the grapple is great.

[@EverythingAttachments]

The tires are filled. Yeah, it needs something hanging off of the 3pt for ballast, but Ted really only intended to poke at the tree a little. Think he got a little carried away.. hahahahahaha

[@eng-oj8gz]

I always fee bad about what I do to my tractor and attachments. Now, not so much.

[@justinrobert4337]

Looks like the 55” does great with a tractor that’s larger than 40hp. Would this model be good for my 52hp LS tractor? Thx

[@EverythingAttachments]

We always test our attachments on machines larger than recommended. For the extra beef where it needs to be, you'd be best off with our Wicked 60. Ready for the long haul, and you can let er eat without worry!! Link www.everythingattachments.com/60-Inch-Wicked-Root-Rake-Grapple-p/eta-60-wrrg.htm

[@davidduke3435]

Ted, OK you have impressed me and the next order from EA is going to be one of these root grapples. Now I do have a question, does a set of seatbelts come on that Kabota? If not you may want to invest in an EA set of wicked seatbelts. A couple of times I thought you were going to leave the tractor the hard way. Stay safe and keep making those awesome EA products.

[@stevehaupt62]

I highly recommend an EA Extreme box blade for ballast like the 1100lb one I have on mine. I haven't left the seat one time since adding it. 🤣

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Well, I just updated my Christmas List. Already have your box blade, this would be a nice addition.

[@rzrman5380]

I wish you would make a Wicked Grappler 48” for John Deere 2025R .

[@EverythingAttachments]

The JD mount is too wide to fit between the cylinders on our 48" model. That's why Wicked 55 is the chosen one for it. Lightweight, yet incredibly strong, while keeping the load as close as possible to the loader pivot pins!

[@slickcasner4205]

Nice seeing the way you test this. And awesome upgrades to it. Hopefully the one I ordered back in March will show up sometime. COVID has everything $&@! Up.

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

Damn, Love the new design changes!

[@MattN03]

Ted, is it ok to press against a amaller tree (6" or under) with the lid closed? Basically pressing against the new Hardox piece?

[@1pa4u2c]

Will these changes be on the wicked 66? Mine is still in the pipeline…

[@EverythingAttachments]

55 and 60, so far. The 66 may eventually get it, but we really don't have a projected timeline yet.

[@1pa4u2c]

So the original design is the one that my order will be done?

[@EverythingAttachments]

@@1pa4u2c Yes, most likely so!

[@KrazyKajun602]

It's not a D10 dozer or large trackhoe. grapple is made to grab brush, grab branches, grab trees up to what it can handle once they are down.

[@EverythingAttachments]

Wicked grapples are intended to handle whatever, and we like to verify that before releasing them into the wild.

[@johnbrooks5485]

I was cringing watching you dig out those roots. That is exaxtly what i was doing when that one spike sticking up went right through my radiator. About the size of a broom handle cost me big $ and a lot of down time. They sneak right in there between the bucket and hood and you dont even know its there til you hear the steam.

[@tfunkhou88]

Ho…Lee…Sheeeeit! That was awesome!!!!

[@TractorsNStuff]

It's been a long wait. Hopefully I get my shipping notice soon.

[@mikehornsby599]

The grapple ,the tractor both are extremely tough hopefully Ted wears a seat belt!!!!

[@jessmorris2243]

Will the 66" become wickeder as well?

[@EverythingAttachments]

The 66 has been plenty Wicked from the start, so it'll most likely be keeping its current design!

[@tfisadog5260]

I just thought I was rough on my equipment. I am impressed. I just keep trying to understand how a 400 lb grapple with hold up. Mine is American made very reputable company but it weights 900 lbs. I almost hate putting it on just because the weight. I did have to replace my loader front cylinders already from doing something like you are doing. Is this one the EA 60 It is different from the one on your website. You and another person calls it the Wickeder 60.

[@EverythingAttachments]

Yes, the strength to weight ratio is Amazing! Actually, the one shown in the vid is our Wicked 55, now referred to as Wickeder, but the 60 is also Wickeder!!!

[@townsendliving9750]

I have this same grapple for my new Holland boomer 24, good to know theres nothing I'll ever be able to do to break the grapple

[@ohiofarmer254]

It just so happens I had 3 trees taken down yesterday. I have been training my 23 month old to say grapple and he told my wife today “dad a grapple”

[@stevethiel5838]

Daaang, if you abused that grapple that much, must be really solid, well built!

[@jessmorris2243]

Ted: We aren't going to take out this nice pecan tree, just going to test these teeth. Wickeder 55: We'll see about that. Ted: ...... no words. I love these test videos!

[@EverythingAttachments]

Hahaha, that escalated quickly, huh?

[@garycox7508]

lol just couldn't help yourself, huh? Great video as always!

[@SlainteFromFlorida]

Ted, how did y'all address the increase in line pressure on the hydraulics when pushing with the grapple and turning the rams into backfeed pumps? After that test, it's clear y'all did something or it's not really the concern people are making it out to be. If you don't understand my question, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4WcamVrjZmFsLM

[@SlainteFromFlorida]

Does the grapple lid "bottom out" in the fully open position against the grapple so as to not bottom out or flex the hydraulic rams?

[@swashington942]

Now that’s a test!

[@batterpm11]

Fine job not damaging the tree 😂

[@randywhelan8944]

Looks like the tines on the left side are bent

[@EverythingAttachments]

The two outer LH and RH lid tines are angled in, by design!

[@mswvette]

@@EverythingAttachments Why are the outer 2 tines angled?

[@EverythingAttachments]

@@mswvette this is Travis. I'm not sure of the scientific reason, but I do know it is by design, within the WickedLab.

[@goforit5844]

Where are the Factory Tours…??? A lot of us Bought the equipment we have Because of the factory tours - Seeing how it’s built, what it is built out of, and seeing it actually being welded up - made All the difference… So, bring back the Factory Tours - even, if they are less often - that’d be better than not having any… (especially, while so many are still Waiting for their orders to be filled)

[@mojorizn72]

When Ted climbs on a tractor, I expect him to raise one arm, nod his head like a bull rider and count down to 8 seconds!

[@hugostiglitz8465]

Lol. I was thinking the same thing.!

[@cfreezy45]

Wife is gonna be pissed about that tree. Ted, destroyer of lawns and trees.

[@timberhitchllc]

This is GOLD!

If you send pics to [e-mail], we'll be glad to check it out.

We don't need no stinking ballast.... LOL!

[@kennethfeld6639]

People winder why I fear for the safety of my tractor and don't really even concern myself with my grapple

This guy is frikkin nuts. No seatbelt and nearly threw himself out the cab and/or flipped the tractor multiple times. LOL.

[@Dennis-mf8sw]

Somebody make Ted put on a seatbelt! :-)

[@EverythingAttachments]

I think he usually wears it, but this went from "I'm gonna poke at the tree a little" to "Tree GONE" in seconds!! ahahahahhaahah

[@valvestroke1]

Um..stop bashing. Test it on a skid steer. The tractor doesn't really like being abused. Hard to watch. I own a EA grapple and love it. Love EA you too Ted.

[@EverythingAttachments]

Thanks for the business! It was really easy...actually, quite entertaining for me to watch. If you know Ted, you should know he isn't going to be easy on any machine or attachment. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! -Travis

[@asylumsys]

If he can’t break it I don’t think anyone else can

[@frankmoreau8847]

Looks like a good way to totally abuse a tractor and loader. I pity the guy who buys that Kubota in the used market. Were is the ballast?

[@brendanmckenna1983]

Why not use a tracked machine. Much safer less of a mess instead of this fool trying to break the tractor and the loader. Can you imagine what this tractor would be like after a year or more being worked like this .Make the job easier get a 360 tracked machine

[@Mr.WS6]

Grapple stronger than the tractor 😅

[@michaelgriffee145]

Drove all the way to where they make that equipment wanting to buy some plows for my hiller couldnt even get in to look at anything they call me after all that they still woudnr try to help me so I took my bussiness else where

Did you just randomly show up? Maybe calling in advanced and asking them would be a better idea….

[@EverythingAttachments]

We're not really setup for walk-in customers, but we're glad to try to assist. If it's an EA garden bedder, we should've had the components in stock.
