Updated WICKED Grapple Receives a Ted Test Drive!

[@nrosario]

The US Military should send every land surface vehicle and equipment to Ted for testing.

[@Jjason601]

If it don’t be broke 😂

[@jameslandry781]

Could you imagine reading a Marketplace advertisement that read, "Slightly used tractor, with low hours. Just ask for Ted.” Nope! Not even if it came with a free grapple. I’m glad to see you test them like that. I’m also glad that Jeremy’s email states mine is being built now, (well after this video) so I know that one’s not mine. Love your videos, Ted. Keep up the great work!

[@nekret]

At some point I wonder if EA will start making loaders just to drop the cost of replacing loaders from Ted's antics 😂

[@2LateIWon]

" I'll not telling you to do it in just showing you" love it!!! Teds the man when it comes to testing

[@johnkemp4370]

He drives that rig like he has an extended warranty and it is paid for by someone else

[@danclas5983]

Rental shop mechanics are in fear when they see Ted walk in the door.

[@Michaeldpress14]

My 55 is on the truck headed this way , I hope it’s not the one in the video 😂😂😂. Update : I’ve got 2-3 hours on it already and it’s the most useful attachment I’ve ever used . Can’t believe I waited this long to get one .

[@ericginsel5621]

Love the philosophy of Ted and his company, if it won’t do it he’ll build something that will , use it like you stole it!

[@getsrc]

Ted don’t forget you need to save some trees to test out your new lineup of tree pullers!! 😂

[@arrowjmfarms]

This. Lol.

[@arrowjmfarms]

“As long as I hear breaking it’s good!” 😂

[@ronthacker211]

Love it when Ted gets radical with the equipment. Woo Hoo.

[@mattv9240]

Didn't consider Black Friday for attachment sales. Been eyeing grapples and 3rd function/rear remote kits. I may pull the trigger this BF if they're on sale. Thanks for the video!

[@swashington942]

I like Ted's ethics. Always improving, always transparent.

[@fredricksiegmund627]

I bought one of your grapples sized for my 26 hp. I can guarantee my 26 hp can never damage it with one exception. One of my quick attach arms was pushed up by a stick and I almost pulled it off. Just by luck I saw it and was able to get it back on with no damage. I took it straight to the shop and drilled a small hole in each arm and pulled them down with a tarp strap.

[@AtlantaSoundGuy]

Ain't nobody else making product demo videos like this ... 1:12 into the video and he enters with no hesitation. It's awesome to see the confidence and performance in one's equipment. And the grapple is taking the punishment and delivering results like a boss. 5:38 -- "Aiight, I'm tired of ****'n with this thing.." FULL SEND 7:56 -- Beasty-Tree Climbing mode engaged 14:06 -- "I'm definitely gonna try somethin' we shouldn't"... (and it works) 16:08 -- Tractor on 2 wheels, so a fella does the right thing; engage diff lock and floors it. (it works) 19:44 -- "Ya, I know...don't push with the lid..." (tree goes right down.) 23:25 -- 25:06 -- "Let's see if we did any damage" - Nope.. Ready for wash and paint.. Fuck it -- I'm sold.

[@24visb]

From a happy Mahindra owner, if Kubota doesn't pick this video up for a testimonial video, I'd be disappointed! 😂 Ted goes hard! And for all the ones who say Ted doesn't know how to operate a tractor, I think that's kinda the point of this video, to simulate every wrong way to use it and to give it a good HARD workout. I think it got the point across and passed the test! 💪

[@83Yankee]

On the contrary, I think he knows exactly how to use them…but chooses to abuse the absolute crap out of everything for “testing purposes”.

[@2LateIWon]

Was hoping to see a quick box blade fixing the trenches those tires were digging.

[@brucerushing3212]

That poor kubota !!!

[@dafii08]

I hope you’re going to do this on the 66 ! I’ll be ordering one soon! Awesome product!

[@MattN03]

I bet Ted doesn't have a single tree at his house 😂. Love my Wickeder 55!

[@EverythingAttachments]

How'd you know? hahahahahhaha Glad you love the Wickedness! #EAfamilyROCKS

[@benniewolfe3379]

There has to be an equipment rental sticker on that tractor somewhere. 😄

[@barney1941]

Ted learned to be an operator working for his local government municipality

[@roffclary6381]

Love those wicked bracelets!

[@duanebauer8133]

Good testing Ted, I hope u got ur seat belt on!

[@Michaeldpress14]

@ 6:08 “ bleep” 😂😂

[@jimputnam2044]

At 14:20 this is the Ted I love to watch....i AM GONNA DO SOMETHING WE SHOULDNENT....THAN WE DO IT.

[@5075E]

Hold my beer!

[@duck-n-cover477]

The grapple attachment likely exceeds the strength of the loader assembly, especially when the loader hydraulics are extended.

[@yellowmetaldriver1460]

I was really looking forward to seeing your grapple on the svl track loader before making my purchase. Sadly it took too long and never did see the promised video , guessing it won't hold up to that kind of power (which is fine) . Ended up purchasing elsewhere. Shame I really wanted to buy local.

[@arrowjmfarms]

It’s good to see Ted doing “Ted stuff.”

[@AB-fj7or]

Note to self. Never buy a used tractor from Ted…

[@alanwhitten6523]

I work in paper recycling. We had an r630 kubota with a paladin bucket grapple. Now we’ve switched to case. But I managed to brake that bucket a several of times and that’s in paper. My boss finally came to and said how do you manage to tear this thing up. I replied to him. If Ted and the E.A folks don’t make it, it’s a hunk of junk 😂. I did what Ted would to I put it through hell😂

[@ocho27hd]

My Wicked 55’ should arrive late this month or early next month. Will mine have the new serrated edge as shown in this video?

[@BrianFox]

I have one comming in April. Im sure it will. That’s the Ted way of doing business.

[@EverythingAttachments]

Yes, the next Wicked 55s leaving here will be outfitted with the newest enhancements!! Gonna be Wicked Awesome!!

[@MikeDPlxztc]

The bottom tines are way too short the top cap is blocking the bottom from doing any work

[@ocho27hd]

@@MikeDPlxztc yeah I’ve put in at least 20hrs on mine now and I’m not sure I like the “improvement” with the tines. Like you mentioned, trying to back drag with the top as a rake just ends up scalping and scooping up so much dirt with those new gussets. I don’t have much of an issue with the bottom ones except when I come from the top to grab brush piles again I’ll end up grabbing a hand full of dirt. I end up trying to shake it off or will have a dirt pile along with my brush pile to burn. Ted if you’re reading this sir, I still have no regrets with this grapple and happy with it. This isn’t really a complaint but simply my reality.

[@Jjason601]

I’m glad to see you giving that tractor hell for that to be a 4 wheel drive it has no pushing power 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@EverythingAttachments]

The main contribution to lack of traction was MUDDD! Man, we may have to start making boats if the rain keeps it up!!

[@iandavies766]

those Kubotas can do at least 16 Mile per hour , use that speed and hit those trees hard (maybe put your seat belt on though ) the trees will just pop out , but seriously those serrations on the top fork really seem to help Guess another 400kg on the back would make a difference , or have water in the rear tires .

[@barney1941]

that KU-BOATER must hide when ted and peanut break out the whiskey

[@duck-n-cover477]

The tree might come out easier if you moved it forward, then back, and then lift it slowly AND with more balast on the back. You were wasting some lifting capacity by lifting weight off your back axle.

[@brucerushing3212]

I bet he was hell when he was a kid !🤣😂😂

[@EverythingAttachments]

How'd you know? ahahahahah

[@newhampshire-bob1604]

Cleanup isle 2! Get Ted on it! He will get the job done!

[@Jjason601]

I’ll like to see that tractor and a few months. That box blade made for knocking that tree over

[@barney1941]

what is the total weight of that there KU-BOATER? cant see the model. i have a 2022 TYM T494 with loader and tire juice i am approaching 7000lbs i have a fransguard log grapple but need a steel claw like this one.

Laser out some for all the 60"ers out there. I'll happily pay for a set.

Hopefully it'll be featured on the 60s, also. #FingersCrossed -Travis

[@Gatortraxone]

Ted I have a Wicked 60 on order now can you please upgrade mine also Please 🙏🏻

[@EverythingAttachments]

Wicked 55 is currently the only one with those teeth, but who knows what Ted will come up with next.

[@Gatortraxone]

@@EverythingAttachments it looks like a clear improvement and I would be willing to pay for the upgrade 🙏🏻

[@barney1941]

maybe you should offer skid plates?

[@stephenrhodesianridgeback7418]

You don’t need a bigger Tractor Ted . Just buy a massive bulldozer and go play on a piece of land far far away from everyone and get it over with out your system . Nice modification add on too the grapple 👍🇨🇦

[@wheelgun5102]

Dang it. I got mine in 2 months ago. I’d have taken the first one.

[@fromdusktodawn509]

Heavens yes! Love American quality

[@millsmotorvation]

Looks like abuse. I don't want any machine you owned 😆

[@corvetteflorida]

Show me some pictures of the hydraulic line routing on this upgraded version you are selling, please. There is another video here on KZbin that is showing bare rubber hydraulic lines running through the holes in the lower tines that are completely unprotected from potential damage. Please look up "Always improving! Don't try this at home! EA Everything Attachments WICKED 55 Root Rake Grapple" to see what I mean.

[@EverythingAttachments]

We did increase the room for hose routing a few years back, and have made several other improvements, since. Join us in the Everything Attachments Channel on facebook to stay up to date with everything happening at EA. Thanks for watching!

[@corvetteflorida]

@EverythingAttachments That above mentioned KZbin video showing those rubber hydraulic lines running through the bottom tines is dated July 28, 2023. Check it around timestamp 03:30 to see what I am talking about. Is this an "improvement" you are referring to? How so? I was just about ready to get an order in place for that 55" grapple, but after seeing that hose routing, well, no, that is just asking for troubles. And until I hear a good explanation of why I may be way out in right field with my opinion of that design, then that idea is right out the window. Your explanation of increasing room does not address that issue. I am looking at a video of that grapple made 12 days ago, so how more recent would improvements be if that hose routing is not your "latest and greatest"? And as for FaceBook, thanks but no thanks. If ever there was a place on the internet infested with negative intelligence and intellectual chaos, that is the place. I hang out in a forum site for my info on tractors. I guess I will post my question about this there, to see if someone can straighten me out about what I am seeing with your 'improvements".

[@EverythingAttachments]

@@corvetteflorida in the video you're referring to above, and on your posting on TBN... Those hoses are routed through those holes to keep them out of the way during transit, and will be nothing like that when hooked to the tractor. Yeah, that'd be a seriously dumb arrangement. I hope this helps.

[@user-du7pe6pm7d]

KUBOTA makes a BH-92 HO - for just these problem - then this neat piece of equipment would surely come in handy - - I should know -- I got me a kubota Ho --- ahahahahaaha -- he makes it look like it can take a beating though ---- i could hear my old man now -- Boy - that thang Ain't no Bulldozer -- yu fixen to get yo ss whopped ! ! hehehehehehehe

Ted is not the brightest bulb in the box

[@Gwalker0220]

Ted I like you, but I gotta say you don't need a bigger tractor. You need a better operator... Maybe Mike Morgan....

[@deanmoore420]

People like you should in on a tractor because you don’t know how to use them. Wow.

[@reelnative01]

Well this vid shows me you don’t know how to operate a tractor or a grapple

[@EverythingAttachments]

Thanks for watching and commenting! It really helps our channel.

Your dumb comment shows me you have no idea what the purpose of this demonstration was.

You may know about building attachments, but you don't know about operating equipment my friend.

I'm pretty sure his intent is to torture test the grapple. He sure is hard on equipment but he knows how tough the implements are that they build. God bless you!

[@barrybills1449]

Guaranteed, operating any tractor as reckless as this will shorten its life by decades. I’d like to see a tractor this guy has operated for 5 years. The ‘showmanship’ is obviously to get YT views not display his lack of operating skills.
