EA attachments permanently closed

I was going to order today. Called several times, emailed and got no answer or response. Come to find out they are closed.
Sometimes you can’t give money away WTH

 

It makes sense. They were kind of early adopters of online presence and sales of tractor equipment. While it was a good idea and Ted made great YouTube instructional videos, he all but stopped years ago. And unless you were a city person with maybe a small suburb lot or something and had no clue about where to buy stuff it to me didn't really make much sense to buy from them if you were more than maybe like 100 miles away cause the shipping way back then killed the deal let alone the last few years since freight went through the roof I couldn't imagine paying to ship a bushhog or something one off!! It's way cheaper to go to TSC or whatever farm and garden store is near you and buy something. Quality may be different but for 90% of the customers from there it wouldn't make a difference I bet.

 

I’m less than an hour away. Ted seemed suspiciously hopped up to me. I was unaware you have to pay full price up front and have to wait 6 months for it to be made. That doesn’t seem like good business.

 

Wow I had no idea about that either!! I thought they sold production stuff? Like they bought it and resold it?

 

I’ve looked at buying from them several times, the 4-6 month wait on a grapple was too long. They got behind with production and never caught up, plus lack of help probably didn’t help.

The products are beefy and solid units, a neighbor has the grapple and box blade. The EA box blade is heavier and thicker steel than the Landpride HD one that I bought.

I was looking at the excavator auger from them, had talked to someone on the phone about the correct hitch to fit my excavator. They would ship it 3 days after ordering it, it was in stock in the warehouse.

Guess I will have to keep an eye out for a used EA products for sale.

 

Does this mean my Wickeder Grapple and Box blade just went up in value ??? Limited edition…

 

It appears they have filed bankruptcy.

 

Yeah probably doubled in value overnight.

 

Are you talking about Everything Attachments in Conover? I went there about a year ago. It's about 45 minutes from me.

 

That’s the place… owned by Ted.

 

Yes

 

I wasn't real impressed with the way they did business.

 

What town you live in? I'm in Caldwell county near Lenoir.

 

Winston Salem

 

About 1.5 hours from me.

 

I’ve been to Leonoir Rhyne at least once for a baseball tournament.

 

Never had heard of Everything Attachments until now, checked them out on YouTube. Looks like they made some quality good stuff...

I'm in Arden (south of Asheville)

 

That's in hickory in catawba County., about 1/2 hour from me.

 

It did look like they made good stuff. I just didn't like the fact that I went down there to pick up a set of forks and they wouldn't unlock the front door and let me in. I could see people inside but they wouldn't come to the door. I called them from their from door and they told me to go to the back and see the fork lift driver. I knew right then I would never go back.
