Looking at a EA 60in grapple for my MX4800 but also been reading about LP but the price is almost 800 more. Trying to make the best decision but what I have read EA is the best

Re: grapple and thrid fuction
My EA has moved a lot of wood for me. No issues.
I went with the Kubota third function. I don't know if the kubota is better or not.

Im going to pick up my CID Root Grapple tomorrow. I can't wait to try it out I also had Kubota Dealer install my 3rd function and not sure who actually made it.

If LP is $800 more I would either ask the dealer to match EA or just get EA. IMO they are both great brands.

I have the LP on my MX4800 and it is the most useful implement I own. I have no experience with other grapples. I agree that you should see if the dealer will come down.

Well Kubota owns land pride now, so that partially explains the price difference. Kubota's kit is a land pride kit to the best of my knowledge. Have put several on. They work great and I've never had one back for a problem that wasn't either installer induced or end-user induced---both usually due to wiring. It's a good kit. If you have a backhoe on it, you'll have to get creative with the hoses as the instructions don't specifically tell you how to do it with a backhoe. They have the resources to re-print the instructions but for some reason they don't. Sometimes it's the little stuff like that, it just makes me shake my head and say to myself what are they thinking.
You will likely need to have 2 hoses made if you use the LP or Kubota kit, unless they finally got smart & are sending the correct length hoses. We have used the Kubota/LP 3rd function kit, with an Agrisource grapple-and they work excellent together.

I got a EA 60” Wicked Grapple for my L3830GST and used the W.R.Long 3rd function kit from EA too. Kit was no problem at all to put on myself. I would recommend the hose saver they sell also, it will keep your hoses out of the way wether the grapple is on or off. You are going to love the grapple.
