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

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
⚠ Safety NoteConnect hydraulic lines before mounting to machine where possible
