Virnig V60 48-Inch Log Grapple for Skid Steers
Overview
The Virnig V60 48-inch log grapple handles logs, brush, and debris on forestry, land clearing, and farm sites. Dual hydraulic cylinders clamp material securely for sorting, stacking, and loading. The 48-inch jaw works well on compact to mid-frame skid steers in tighter work areas and bush. Fits most skid steer brands via universal SSQA mount with standard hydraulic flow. A practical narrower option for sites where a wider grapple would be difficult to maneuver. Built in Minnesota and available in Canada through Virnig's dealer network.

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
Compact size fits small-frame machines (S70–S185 class) as well as mid and large-frame loaders. Universal SSQA mount works with all major brands.
