About the Root Grapple Attachment
The root grapple attachment is intended for use in materials handling. The primary use of the root
grapple attachment includes land clearing, landscaping, demolition, construction, and grounds
maintenance. Use of this equipment in any other manner is considered to be contrary to the intended use
of the attachment.

With the Root Grapple, you can perform three jobs in one. In a single pass the Root Grapple rakes away
debris, keeps it in a manageable pile to move around with ease, and the round bottom bar provides the
necessary tool for backfill. The wide tine opening makes easy loading of logs, brush, rocks, demolition
debris, and many other materials into the large bucket area. It is ideal for separating dirt from rock,
lumber, or building materials with ease. The larger capacity means less loading and cost saving in both
time and energy. Hydraulic cylinders operate independently to adjust for uneven loads. Enclosed
cylinders and hoses come standard to minimize maintenance. Tines curve upward in order to slide
across the land without damaging topsoil or catching utility lines or cables.
Extreme Root Grapple
The extreme Root Grapple is intended for anyone who makes a living with skid steers or tractors. The
Root Grapple is industrial strength and produced for everyday use. It is constructed of ½" top-quality
steel plate (60,000 psi). Oversized points and bushings increase the durability. The lifting capacity of this
skid-steer attachment exceeds that of the machine. Hydraulic cylinders are 2" bore and 10" stroke.
Opened, distance from tine to tine is 38 inches. Depth from inside front to back of the Root Grapple is
34.5 inches. Available in five sizes: 60", 66", 72", 78”, and 84".
