    EA vs Homestead

    I was very clear about having no experience with the EA, many claim the EA is better than anything. I like my Homestead, it is a solid piece of fabrication. Take your pick and good luck. Always someone trying to create drama. It is just steel.

    EA vs Homestead

    EA vs Homestead

    I was told 6-8 weeks also, ended up being 15 weeks. Still better than 6-9 months, well worth the wait, for what I think is an equivalent or superior product.

    EA vs Homestead

    I have the Homestead 55" Pinnacle series root grapple. I felt it was worth the extra $$ for a heavier duty piece of equipment. It is a very well made item, in my opinion.

    50 hour service

    Exactly, I used the pvc pipe in case the fluid rose up some, so it did not get in my shop vac. Attach it, turn it on, pull filter, no leakage.

    50 hour service

    I also used the shop vac trick, used a piece of pvc to fit to the oil fill. Worked like a charm, lost about 4 drops.

    Well tank not filling?

    The tank will never be full, due to the air bladder. somewhere around 1/3 water is what my well guy said. If you have good pressure and good flow, it is working as intended.
