    I ended up with the Catawba grapple. I have reviewed it positively. They delivered as agreed and it works well. If a significant number of people paid without receiving their goods, the county claimed they owed unpaid taxes and they were subject to judges orders halting all business and were...

    I neither stated nor implied any of those things. What is your connection to the company to be defending them so devoutly? Are you just that proud you actually did receive the items you purchased? Why is your opinion so much more valid than mine? What is the origin of your expertise? Your...

    I understand, and clarified my statement in post 899. I also understand that it appears as if the tax issues with the county, legal issues with the bank, two contractors and a steel vendor have yet to be resolved, and that until resolved, the company is not "guilty".

    Apologies. My first post here was due my inability to place an order through the EA website, the lack of response to the email I sent, and their not answering the phone. The time-frame this occurred coincided with news reports of legal and financial issues the company was experiencing.

    I joined this site because I found this thread when I could not get ahold of EA to place an order. Thank God their site did not work or I would have gotten screwed like so many others. My first post here was asking about alternatives to the EA grapple. This solely due to poor management and...

    I literally tried to buy a grapple from them and the website did not work. A search revealed that it did not work due to the issues. I had no idea previously. You can't have confirmation bias if there was no previous bias to confirm. I had between 4 and 6 employees, most of the time 4. I ran my...

    I'm still shocked at the EA apologists. "This happens in business"? Only if they are crooks! As someone who started and built a business, not inherited from daddy, I am quite sure screwing customers, blowing massive amounts of customer money, over leveraging the business, making promises you...

    What do you think about?

    I believe people need manual labor for various reasons, including mental health. There are times when I am so absorbed in what I am doing, that nothing else in the world matters. Some use a bottle for this. ( with unhealthy consequences). Other times I am working subconsciously, while working...

    What's next?

    The scrap yards here hand them out frequently. I think it started with one in Houston. They had a commercial on TV advertising that they paid in $2 bills. Last thing I want is dozens and dozens of $2 bills....

    Machine Shop Safety Reminder

    Lucky son of a gun! I can't tell you how many times I have had to tell guys not to wear rings, watches, wrap rags around parts, put their arms inside turning parts etc. I try to be descriptive and say " it will rip your arm off and beat you to death with it!". One shop I worked at a lot of the...

    Why no solution to P0605 ECU issue?

    Have seen a lot of posts here and other places about the fried ECU issue. Apparently if your tractor is older that 8yrs you are out of luck and the fix is about $3000, with a possible month wait for parts. My L3901 is 10 this year so Im concerned I will have this issue with no recourse, and no...

    Fixing the dreaded po 605 low voltage to ecm.

    Were they able to reprogram it or clear the code? It looks like the code still has to be cleared after repair. Did you have to have Kubota do that? If so, how much?

    It's here!!

    I know this is an old one, but I did a search for Norfork and this came up. I bought a place not far from Norfork and will be moving there this spring. Dang sure looking forward to the fishing! ( and hunting, a lot of deer and turkey on my place )

    I'll 3rd ( or 4th ) Catawba. I have used the heck out of the grapple I bought from them and very pleased with it.

    To be fair, I still ponder the fact there is now diesel exhaust fluid. I still think it must be some kind of joke!

    Guess times are good!

    I am having a house built, power run, land clearing etc in North Central Arkansas. Its hard to get anyone to do anything up there. Quite a culture shock compared to growing up and living about 40 mi NW of Houston. I gotta say, we get things done here. Owning a business that does oilfield work...
