Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You move mixed demolition debris, large rocks, and heavy loads that need a closed floor
- You sort materials on-site between loads
Skip if
- Your primary use is brush and slash cleanup — a root grapple's open tines handle that better
- The added weight pushes near your machine's ROC limit for lighter machines
Also consider
- Root grapple for lighter brush and debris work
- 4-in-1 bucket if you need both clamshell and flat-floor functionality
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
