Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You move wrapped bales and want to avoid puncturing plastic with spears
- You handle round bales frequently enough that clamp control matters
Skip if
- You only move dry unwrapped bales - a bale spear is cheaper and simpler
- Your machine cannot safely handle the bale weight plus attachment weight
Also consider
- Bale spear for simple dry bale handling
- Pallet forks for square bales and palletized feed
- Root grapple if brush and debris are the main job
Compatible with universal quick attach skid steers. Confirm your machine can lift the full bale weight at the working height you need.

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
