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
Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Best suited to large-frame machines (S750+ class or equivalent CTL).
