#3 New Toy! 55” Wicked Root Rake Grapple: Clearing Brush 

ahahahahaha -- chain saw needs new gas without ethanol or a new plug - and / or an adjustment - and or all -- ahahahahaha - but i came to see an EA root rake at work - and 200 pounds sure is light for one - bending comes to mind - 4 minutes 45 seconds - rake finally moves - and hillbilly music I guess to be liked by some ? ! -- I like to hear tractors some -- ahahahaha - and those things were not made to have as much pressure as what the front of the tractor would weigh put on them - lifting off the ground is what is said NOT to do whatsoever - if yu catch something big - yu could do much damage to the rake or ever the front loader arms - a lot of people have - and putting the teeth more than 2 ins in the dirt will kill a lot of the roots from the trees yu wish to save - the weeds will just grow back really fast anyway -- doing it backwards as yu did a little is said to be the way it needs to be done - if at all - and if yu drop the little piles a couple of times before putting them into the big piles more dirt will remain where it come from - if ya have to rake forward - put the teeth further back toward the tractor so if they do catch something - they may roll over it so that no damage is done - good luck with doing it any other way - after 30 years yu learn a little - pretty orange tractor - looks much better than my grand L 3940 backhoe that is getting older -- ahahahaha - I only listen to blue grass when I am drinkin heavily -- ahahahahaha - but then I am pretty old -- and yea - I have been said to be a bit of a smart ss -- heehawed

Can you guess make a video on properly setting up ballest on a tractor?

Shortening the intro a bit wouldn't hurt. 1:40 to get to the rake. Most people click off after more than 30 seconds of unrelated intro. Then you kind of ramble over two more minutes. Then your "hide the engine noise" music is too loud. I don't want to be adjusting the volume back and forth between operation and narration. But, you did give a good demonstration of the rake's abilities and limits, so you get a thumbs up!

What is the Bluegrass song playing in the beginning of the video? I've heard it in several of your videos and I can't get it out of my head! Very haunting melody. Subbed.

I know this is an old video. I certainly hope you relocated that hose on the grapple. Its right in a pinch point. I spotted it right away because I learned probably like you did.

I put expanded metal over brush guard to protect my radiator from branches.

The only thing I don’t like is your kubota is cleaner than mine. Good luck from west Tennessee

NIce video! I’m curious what you do with all the brush you remove? Do you let it dry out and burn it at some point? Thanks.

New subscriber here. Looking into getting a grapple for next years firewood season and came across your channel. Love the music too.

Good job. But be careful leaking backwards with the motor cylinder is extended. That’s the best way to bend them and have to buy new ones

That grapple looks nice. I'm starting to look into tractors again and got to use a l2501 today. If I do get a tractor I will sure have to add that function. What do dealers charge to add the 3rd function to lever.

New follower here. That is a nice grapple. It’s amazing how much it helps.

Coool video guys

Good demo and overview of the EA grapple. Much appreciated 👍

Exactly the video I needed to see before I purchased my new homestead. Thank you.

Very good demonstration of the EA Wicked Root Rake Grapple! It looks like it the perfect tool for your clearing project. I just ordered a 66” Wicked Root Grapple yesterday from EA. I went with this model because we cut some firewood and the longer bottom tines are nice for moving firewood piles. I can see how the rake you have is very handy for clearing and back dragging. Grapples of any configuration are such an asset to any size tractor loader combination.

Hey you grapple hose looks like it need to be pulled up away from the right loader arm!!

Nice vid but looks like the EA Grapple would be real vulnerable to knocking hoses off with brush loads sticking out everywhere, with no back plate like the Landpride for ex. just my 2 cents....

Thanks for reinforcing the skid steer move👍🏼

What HP is the tractor? Can you pick up 800 lbs tree trunks? Is a 35 hp strong tractor enough to install an 8 ft backhoe?

Good video. How do you like your Kubota 3901? I'm looking for a smaller Tractor. I have the 5 series JD.

Can that thing clear medium sized rocks too? Similar to the rock bucket with a grapple? As in push rocks into a pile and pick them up?

Handy tool for the Bota. Especially in that type of vegetation. Would certainly be a necessity for your property. Really enjoying your videos man 👌🏼👌🏼

Awesome video. Looking to get a grapple for my 2021 Kubota MX 4800. I have an LA1065 front end loader with quick attach. Would I need to purchase any other items for this to work on my tractor? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the great video. I have that same grapple and it may be the most work saving attachment I own. You can get a lot of work done with very little time and effort. I use mine for everything from moving tree logs and machinery to picking up large piles of leaves. Very versatile implement. Keep up the good work.

Is that a Summit Hydraulics 3rd function set-up?

2 things you could’ve done so there’s no need for your toy 1 hire a off duty firefighter & do a controlled burn 2 hire some goats Problem solved, enjoy your grapple

I have the everything attachment 50” compact route rate grapple on my 30 hp kioto

Where did you get the music for your video? It’s nice to listen to.

Great demo video, show some more back raking cleaning up in next video

How much does that grapple weigh?

observation: Why is it there are countless videos for a grapple hook for tiny Kubotas? Hell, just pick up the twigs by hand and stick the twigs in a garbage can.

Great tool

Would be a great video if I could hear it. Poor volume when talking.

Great video. thanks for sharing.

Which grapple model is this?

Great simple video!!!

Not very impressive.

Awesome, love it 👍
