Product Description

Star Industries Root Grapple Buckets

  • Root grapple tines curve upward to prevent catching utility lines or cables in storm clean-up
  • Hydraulic cylinders operate independently to adjust for uneven loads

Move bulky, hard-to-handle materials like brush and logs easily with a Star Industries Root Grapple

The bottom separated tines let dirt sift out when loading large rocks and trash making it the perfect attachment for debris clean up.

  • Rugged heavy-duty construction for dependability and long life
  • Built-in covers protect fittings and hyd cylinder
  • Optional intermediate bottom tines reduce space between tines to approximately 4"
  • Grease zerks protected with tubes

Heavy Duty or Demolition Grade?

The Heavy Duty 66" and 72" models suit most wheeled skid steers for brush, storm debris and land clearing. The Demolition Grade 72", 78" and 84" models step up to 9/16" grapple arms and taller 5" tines with a deeper 42 ¾" floor for larger loads, rock and demolition debris on bigger machines. All models require auxiliary hydraulics and ship with hoses and flat-face couplers.

Root Grapple vs. Grapple Bucket

A root grapple's open tine floor sifts dirt and small material out of the load, which is ideal for brush, roots, rocks and storm cleanup. If you need to carry loose material too, the Star Grapple Bucket has a solid floor and end plates. For aggressive raking and land clearing, see the Star Extreme Duty Grapple Rake.
