John Deere Worksite Pro HG72 Hydraulic Grapple
Overview
A 72-inch hydraulic grapple in John Deere's Worksite Pro line. The HG72 is a root-and-brush grapple style — wide tine spacing for grabbing loose brush, root balls, and debris piles that would fall out of a closed bucket. One cylinder opens and closes the lid. The 72-inch width is the right size for mid-frame machines running land clearing, acreage cleanup, or logging slash removal. Requires one auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Available in Canada through Brandt.

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
Designed for John Deere machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
