TRACTOR AND SKID STEER
REQUIREMENTS AND
PREPARATION
The Grapple Rake is designed to handle logs, brush,
loose stumps, limbs, medium size rocks, and other hard
to handle materials.
Two 2” bore x 10” stroke hydraulic cylinders operate the
grapple clamps to grip and hold the material.
The Grapple Rake is available in five models.
The models FLGR-262 and FLGR-277 are designed to
mount on farm tractor front-end loaders. Optional
brackets are available to fit most popular quick coupler
front-end loaders or pin on type loaders.
One pair of remote hydraulic coupler outlets are
required to operate the grapple clamp cylinders.
The model FLGR-262 Grapple Rake is recommended
for tractors with a PTO horsepower rating of 45-110 hp.
The model FLGR-277 Grapple Rake is recommended for
tractors with a PTO horsepower rating of 60-150 hp.
The models SSGR-262 and SSGR-277 Grapple Rakes
are designed to mount on skid steer units equipped with
the universal quick-attach attachment connection.
The model SSGR-84 is designed for skid steer units
with a door on the cab. Lower height of this grapple
allows the door to open without interference with the
grapple.
Skid steer units need to have sufficient lift capacity to
handle the expected load and the weight of the Grapple
Rake.

ASSEMBLY – TRACTOR LOADERS
PIN ON ATTACHMENT
Assemble the two (2) lift brackets on the main frame
(Ref. #1) with the 5 /
8
” x 3” I.D. U-bolts. Leave the U-bolts
loose.
Be sure your tractor and loader, or skid steer is in
good condition. Read all the safety precautions and
make sure all equipment operators are familiar with
the safety rules of operation.
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a
power unit. Make sure the rear of the tractor is
properly counterbalanced with weights. Always drive
slowly – especially around turns. An unstable power
unit could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing
injury or death.
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this
equipment. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the tractor, loader and
loader attachment, and all safety practices before start-
ing operation. Read the safety rules and safety signs on
pages 3-11.
Remove the bucket from your front end loader or skid
steer. Check your loader to make sure it is in good work-
ing order. Check all frame mounting bolts to make sure
they are tight.
Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should
have a cross-tie installed for stability.
Check the power unit’s hydraulic system. Be sure the
hydraulic oil and filter have been serviced according to
manufacturer’s recommendations. Refer to your tractor or
loader operator’s manual or dealer for any adjustments
necessary to put the hydraulic system in good working
order.
■
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from being
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in
“locked up” position at all times.
