Built for Roots, Rocks, Brush & Debris
A root grapple gives a compact tractor the ability to securely grab and transport material that can be difficult to control with a conventional bucket.
The COMPACT DUTY Root Grapple is ideal for:
- Root removal
- Brush clearing
- Rock handling
- Limb and branch cleanup
- Storm debris
- Property maintenance
- Land clearing
- Site cleanup
- Landscaping
- General material handling
The open grapple design helps operators handle irregular material while providing good visibility through the attachment.
2,500 LB Hydraulic Clamping Force
The hydraulic grapple provides up to 2,500 lbs of maximum clamping force at 2,800 PSI.
That clamping force helps securely hold brush, roots, rocks and other uneven loads during lifting and transport.
In addition, the 29.5″ maximum grapple opening provides room to handle bulky material encountered during property cleanup and land-clearing work.
Reinforced Tine Construction
The COMPACT DUTY Root Grapple uses fully integrated 3/8″ grapple tines for added strength and durability.
The bottom tines are reinforced by 1-5/8″ OD Schedule 80 pipe, tying the tine structure together to provide additional support during demanding grapple work.
Greaseable pins and bosses also make routine lubrication and maintenance easier.

These model specifications match the current product sheet you supplied.
Match the Grapple to Your Tractor
Attachment weight matters on a compact tractor because the grapple itself consumes part of the loader’s available lifting capacity.
For that reason, don’t choose a root grapple based on width alone. Consider:
- Tractor and loader model
- Loader lift capacity
- Grapple weight
- Required width
- Hydraulic capability
- Hitch configuration
- Intended material and application
Always stay within the rated capacity of the tractor and loader.
When ordering, provide the tractor and loader make and model so the appropriate hitch and grapple configuration can be confirmed.
