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.
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.
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.
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…
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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)
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!

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
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.
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!!!
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.
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
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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9T9925X4RzQ.html
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
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
