Skid Pro Skid Steer Log Grapple
Overview
Skid Pro's log grapple is designed specifically for handling logs, timber, and large round objects that standard grapple tines have trouble securing. The curved jaw design conforms to round logs for a secure grip. Used widely in sawmill yards, land clearing operations, and acreage firewood operations. Skid Pro ships to Canada and this attachment is listed on Canadian equipment markets.

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-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

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
