Skid Steer & Tractor Grapples for Sale

A grapple turns a loader into a set of jaws, so brush piles, logs, and storm debris get picked up and carried instead of pushed around. Our Grapples collection covers skid steer grapple buckets, root grapples, rake grapples, log grapples, and rock buckets from Ignite Attachments, Quick Attach, TM Manufacturing, Greywolf, and Ramsplitter, in widths from 36 to 85 inches.

Match the grapple to the machine first. Full-size skid steer models use a universal quick attach plate, our mini rake and mini bucket grapples fit mini skid steers and compact track loaders, and the compact tractor grapples are sized for a tractor loader. For a tractor with a three point hitch, the Ramsplitter 3-Point Log Grapple grabs logs up to 36 inches in diameter with a 55-inch jaw opening.

Then match it to the job. Root grapples sift dirt while pulling roots and rocks, rake grapples clear brush and storm debris, and solid-bottom grapple buckets scoop loose material as well as logs. Our grapple bucket vs root rake guide breaks down which bite suits which job.

Grapples pair naturally with the rest of your land clearing kit. Once the brush is cleared, our Stump Grinders take out what is left in the ground, and our Wood Chippers turn the pile into chips.

Key Advantages of Our Grapples

Every Host Machine Covered: Universal quick attach models for skid steers, mini mounts for compact loaders, tractor loader grapples, and a Cat 1, 2, and 3 three point log grapple.
One Type per Job: Root, rake, log, rock, and bucket grapples, so you can sift, rake, grab, or scoop.

How to Choose a Grapple

Choosing the best grapple for your machine comes down to four things:

Mount: Confirm the plate. Skid steer models use a universal quick attach, mini machines need a mini mount, and the Ramsplitter log grapple uses a Cat 1, 2, or 3 three point hitch.
Width and Weight: Wider grapples grab more per pass but cut into lift capacity. Ours run from 165 lbs on the 46-inch stump bucket grapple to over 1,100 lbs on the largest Demo-Dozer, so subtract that from your machine's rated lift.
Grapple Type: Root grapples for digging and sifting, rake grapples for brush and debris, bucket grapples for loose material plus logs, and rock buckets for stone and root picking.
Hydraulic Flow: Check the requirement on each product page against your machine's auxiliary flow. The Versa Grab lists 25 GPM and the Versa Grab Mini 15 GPM. A tractor needs a loader with an auxiliary outlet or a third function valve kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tractor grapple, skid steer grapple, or root grapple: what's the difference?

Tractor grapples mount to your tractor's loader and are built for moving logs, brush, and debris around a property. Skid steer grapples mount to a skid steer or track loader quick attach plate, which gives you more force and better maneuverability. Root grapples are a shape rather than a machine type: wider, deeper tines that dig roots and rocks out of the ground. Match the grapple to the machine you own first, then to the job.

What size grapple do I need for my tractor or skid steer?

Size to your machine's lift capacity and the work. In this collection, mini skid steers and compact track loaders take the 36 and 44-inch mini grapples. Compact tractor loaders suit the 48 and 60-inch tractor grapples. Full-size skid steers run 60 to 85-inch root, rake, and bucket grapples. Wider grapples grab more per pass but add weight, and too wide will eat into your lift capacity.

Bucket grapple vs root grapple vs rake grapple: which fits my work?

Bucket grapples have a closed bottom, so they scoop loose material as well as grabbing logs. Root grapples have spaced tines on the bottom that let dirt fall through while you pull roots, rocks, and debris. Rake grapples have spaced tines top and bottom, which is what you want for clearing brush and storm debris. See our full comparison.

How much hydraulic flow does a grapple need?

Most grapples work within standard tractor and skid steer flow, but check each product page against your machine. As examples from this collection, the Quick Attach Versa Grab lists 25 GPM and the Versa Grab Mini 15 GPM, and several Ignite models are rated to 3,000 or 3,500 PSI. A tractor needs front loader hydraulics with at least one auxiliary outlet, or a third function valve kit added.

Will a grapple work on my brand of tractor or skid steer?

Our skid steer grapples ship with a universal quick attach plate that fits Bobcat, Cat, Kubota, John Deere, and most major brands. The compact tractor grapples use a universal quick attach as well, and the Ramsplitter 3-Point Log Grapple mounts to a Cat 1, 2, or 3 three point hitch. Tell us your machine when you order and we will confirm the right mount. See top skid steer grapples.

How heavy is a grapple, and will it affect my lift capacity?

Weights in this collection run from 165 lbs on the 46-inch stump bucket grapple and 227 lbs on the 48-inch compact tractor grapple up to 920 lbs on the 82-inch root grapple and more than 1,100 lbs on the largest Demo-Dozer. That weight comes straight off your usable lift capacity, so a 600 lb grapple on a loader rated for 1,500 lbs leaves 900 lbs for the load. Always factor grapple weight when sizing.

What size grapple fits a compact tractor?

For most compact tractor loaders, the 48-inch grapple at 227 lbs or the 60-inch at 366 lbs is the practical range, and both run at 3,000 PSI. The 48-inch uses a single cylinder and the 60-inch a dual cylinder, which gives a more even clamp on uneven loads. If your machine is a mini skid steer or compact track loader instead, look at the 36 and 44-inch mini rake and mini bucket grapples. See how to choose grapple size and style.

How much does a grapple cost?

Grapples in this collection run from about $1,755 to just under $11,000, and the spread is driven by width, build and how much the attachment has to do. Stump bucket grapples start around $1,755. Compact tractor grapples sit around $2,530 to $2,990. Rake grapples for brush and storm debris run roughly $2,570 to $5,405 depending on width. Root grapples for digging and sifting run about $4,255 to $4,600. Rock buckets and rock grapples sit around $4,095 to $6,195. At the top, the multi-purpose Versa Grab reaches about $10,945 for the skid steer and three point version. Width is usually the single biggest driver inside each type, so buy the width your machine can lift rather than the widest one you can afford.

What horsepower do I need to run a grapple?

Horsepower is the wrong number to size a grapple by. What actually limits you is lift capacity and hydraulic flow. On weight, the grapples here run from about 165 lbs on the 46-inch stump bucket grapple up to over 1,100 lbs on the largest Demo-Dozer, and that weight comes straight off your machine's rated lift before you have picked anything up. On flow, check the requirement on each product page against your machine's auxiliary output: the Versa Grab lists 25 GPM and the Versa Grab Mini 15 GPM. A tractor also needs a loader with an auxiliary outlet or a third function valve kit to run the jaw. Get those two right and the horsepower takes care of itself. If you tell us your make and model we will tell you what it will carry.
