Paladin FFC 84-Inch Root Grapple for Skid Steers
Overview
The 84-inch-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. Paladin FFC attachments are available through Canadian dealers and distributed through Paladin's North American network. Hydraulic operation from the cab lets operators sort and place material with precision — no manual handling. Available in Canada through Paladin FFC dealers.

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
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

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
- Mount using same Bob-Tach process as buckets
- Connect hydraulic couplers (depressurized — release aux hydraulics first)
- Verify open/close direction at idle before working
- Test grapple open/close 3× before lifting any load
