Within the last week someone was selling a bent Wicked Grapple on Facebook. Certainly still very usable and it was a good deal. No shade but they aren’t indestructible. Maybe it was from abuse or simply bad luck.

I am shocked that after some of my shenanigans that my (other brand) grapple is not bent or worse.
Hard to argue with that. Shorter lower tines make the grapple stronger but reduce the ability to pick up loose material if pushing into it. I rotate the grapple forward and grab the load from above like a clam shell bucket. It works quite well for boulders, logs etc., but the Wicked grapples certainly aren't optimized for brush and such. I don't have any need to move brush so the Wicked works for me.
Interesting. I use mine on brush quite frequently. I move way more brush & trees that rocks & loges, actually seems like a lot of both. Hate to be without a grapple no matter which kind. I also rotate forward (not all the way , not more the3/4) with the front of the tines on the ground and push forward & then pic up the pile like a clam shell. I guess that shows that each of us can learn to use the equipment we have to the best of it's ability for our need. Good Job.
