Root Grapple Attachments for Tractors and Skid Steer Loaders

Root Grapple Skid Steer AttachmentThe Prowler Root Grapple line is an absolute necessity on many job sites and in many work environments. Open bottom framing allows the grapple to handle large trees, stumps, building material, rocks and more, while the small debris falls to the ground. Root Grapples are very versatile as the frontal tines allow the attachment to pull roots, small stumps, and rocks during land clearing. In demolition and storm clean up these same tines help to force the bucket in to jammed debris and act as a wedge to force its way into the piles and grab a larger amount of material per scoop.

The Root Grapple is ideal for moving logs, brush, rocks scrap and building material or just about any other type of debris. The dual hydraulic cylinder models operate independently to adjust for uneven loads. All of our Super-Duty series root grapples are built with 1/2 inch high quality plate steel with greasable pins and bushings at all hinge points. Every unit exceeds the lifting capacity of the skid steer machine it is used on.

Please keep in mind that any modifications requested by the buyer, such as extra tines as an example, may require a custom build that could take 3 to 4 extra weeks to complete if one is not already in stock. Please call for availability.
