Y'all, should I pin this?
On the one hand, nobody seems to see pinned threads. On the other hand, this seems like a consumer protection kind of thread, and every homesteader should see it. How can I help make this more visible? ~Kitties |

Hopefully people who have ordered an attachment are following other tractor type websites/forums and see it mentioned there. |

If they're highlighted that bright green, I will sometimes notice them. |

He was trying to offload assets to family members to shelter from inevitable judgments from the bank case and the neill grading case. The court put a cease and desist, and now it appears the court is in the process of ordering the sale of assets. |

I'm still stunned by this - I have several pieces of equipment from them.
That said, I got my grapple from MTL and it has been absolutely solid despite the abuse I throw at it. |

Y'all, I've tacked this, but remind me and I will untack it in a couple of days...keeping it near the top.

Bumping this and untacking.
This tacking and untacking seems to keep threads visible, if I can remember to do it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wakeboarder: Now where do I find a ~66" grapple ? The bigger question is: Do you really want a 66" grapple? On FELs, the heavier the implement, the less the weight capacity. I've never regretted my 48":   This is the highest I could lift this Shagbark Hickory trunk. The tree fell down during a microburst, coming within 4" of the house (see the tree branches behind the blue barrel). To get it on a trailer, we had to use my neighbor's 95 hp Kubota tractor with forks.  |

Shorter width grapple is less weight equaling larger log carrying capacity. Now if all one wants to do is clear land of brush, roots and pile brush etc, a wider width may be more suited for that type of work. |

Untacking for visibility.
Y'all will have to let me know when you think this knowledge has gotten to everyone who might be affected.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Merlin: The mod unlocked the OTT thread linked above. Someone just posted there a couple days ago that they were thinking of buying an EA grapple, but then found the OTT thread. I say keep it up. Okay. Y'all bump it, or holler at me if it starts to fall and I'll tack it again, on and off, until there is some resolution or the time people might not need it anymore. Tacking and untacking seems to be the key to visibility for stuff like this. Once something has been tacked for a week, nobody sees it. |

Thanks to this thread, I found out that EA closed their doors. I filed a dispute with my CC company at the end of February, I was actually surprised I was still able to do so since it had been almost 6 months since I placed the order. The dispute was finalized this morning, and I got all of my money back for the brush cutter that I ordered.
Everything Attachments had great implements. I have 6 of them for my tractor right now. What a loss. Thanks for the info. |
