Uses for a Skid Steer Grapple Attachment

Skid steer grapples are among the most versatile of all attachments. They can be used for lifting and wrangling large unwieldy objects, such as rocks and boulders, logs, and stumps, as well as for consolidating scrap, brush and burn piles. The slotted bucket design allows water and loose material like gravel and sand to filter through, making them perfect attachments for disaster cleanup, and they’re also useful for demolition work. In addition, they can be effective for ripping out roots and stumps, and for other land-clearing projects.

Do You Need a Root Grapple or a Grapple Rake?

Whether you need a skid steer root grapple or a grapple rake depends on what you need the attachment for in the first place. If you need a larger tool to consolidate and manage large volumes of brush or debris, a rake is probably a better option. If you need an attachment that offers a higher degree of dexterity for brush and materials handling, it’s hard to beat the movable tines of a root grapple or bucket.
