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
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.
