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 |

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! |

Hopefully people who have ordered an attachment are following other tractor type websites/forums and see it mentioned there. View Quote +1 I rarely notice pinned threads. If they're highlighted that bright green, I will sometimes notice them. |

I do not have the power to highlight with color.
I have asked Site Staff to do so. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Donate to your local 2A organizations before the national orgs. The local orgs are proactive and get things done in your state house where the nationals are reactive and try to fix things after the fact and from a distance.

Bumping to check whether y'all think I can let this one go, or do we still need to keep tacking/untacking?
