Skid Steer Grapples
LANDYINDUS skid steer grapples help contractors, land-clearing crews, farms, tree services, landscapers, municipalities and rental fleets sort, grab and move logs, brush, roots, rocks, debris and bales. The correct grapple depends on the material, the loader's hydraulic circuit and the jaw geometry needed to hold the load securely.
Choose the right grapple design
Root and rock grapples use open tine spacing for brush, loose stone and site cleanup. Log and timber grapples prioritize an opening, jaw shape and cylinder layout that keep round material secure. Bale grapples are selected around bale size, handling pattern and the need to minimize damage. Compare single- or dual-jaw layouts, tine thickness, hinge points, cylinder protection, working width and duty level. The machine model, quick-attach interface, lift capacity and auxiliary flow must be confirmed before selecting a configuration.
For loading or grading, compare skid steer buckets; for vegetation cutting, review brush cutters and mulchers. Excavator Forestry Attachments cover larger carriers, while attachment adapters help with interface changes. Pallet forks are useful for stable palletized loads.

Grapple specifications to confirm
- Skid steer model, operating weight, quick-attach interface and rated capacity.
- Grapple type, working width, jaw opening, tine spacing and empty weight.
- Hydraulic flow, operating pressure, cylinder layout and hose protection.
- Material size and density, log or bale dimensions and expected duty cycle.
- Clearance, visibility, transport limits and any dealer or custom requirements.
Some configurations may list a 72-inch or 84-inch width, a specific safe working load or twin cylinders. Treat those values as model-specific and confirm the selected product before quoting.
Skid steer grapple FAQ
What is the difference between a root grapple and a log grapple?
Root grapples use open tines for brush, roots and loose debris. Log grapples focus on jaw shape, opening and secure handling of round material.
How much hydraulic flow does a grapple need?
Flow and pressure depend on the cylinders and configuration. Confirm the product requirement against the skid steer's auxiliary circuit.
Can a grapple pick up rocks?
Root or rock grapple designs may suit rocks and mixed debris when the size, weight and tine spacing are within the attachment limits.
