New Holland Root Grapple skid steer attachment

Overview

The wide-inch root grapple clears brush, logs, stumps, and debris on Canadian acreages and land-clearing sites. The tined design lets dirt fall through while gripping irregular material securely. New Holland agriculture and construction dealers are spread across all Canadian provinces, providing local support for attachments. Hydraulic operation from the cab lets operators sort and place material with precision — no manual handling. Available through New Holland dealers across Canada.

Is This Right For You?

Buy if

  • You clear brush, saplings, slash, and debris that a bucket can't grip
  • You work on land clearing, right-of-way maintenance, or post-harvest cleanup

Skip if

  • You move dense solid loads like rock, sand, or gravel — a grapple loses material through the tines
  • Your primary task is loading trucks — a GP bucket is faster for dense material

Also consider

  • Industrial grapple if you also handle large rocks or demolition debris
  • Stump grinder if stump removal is part of the job
Machine Compatibility

Designed for New Holland machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

About New Holland in Canada

New Holland attachments are available through CNH dealer locations across Canada. New Holland has a strong presence in agricultural regions and their attachments are built to match the hydraulic specs of their skid steers and compact track loaders.

Care & Maintenance

  • Grease all pivot points every 8 hours of operation — this single habit extends service life more than any other maintenance step
  • Inspect tines for bending or cracking after use in rock or demolition debris — bent tines cause uneven closing force and can fail under load
  • Check hydraulic hose connections and fittings weekly — grapple hoses take more abuse than most attachments due to constant jaw cycling near rough material
  • Inspect cylinder pins and bushings monthly; sloppiness in the jaws indicates worn bushings, not just general age — replace before the pin starts wearing the bore
  • Store with jaws closed to reduce stress on the frame and keep the hinge pivot pins from accumulating debris

How to Connect

  1. Mount using same Bob-Tach process as buckets
  2. Connect hydraulic couplers (depressurized — release aux hydraulics first)
  3. Verify open/close direction at idle before working
  4. Test grapple open/close 3× before lifting any load
Safety NoteConnect hydraulic lines before mounting to machine where possible
