Grapple Rake For Skid Steer And Front-End Loaders WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 25-2-28 "Our new grapple rake for tractor loaders, skid steers, and 3-pt. hitches is ideal for loading logs, picking up rocks, orchard prunings, and raking and piling brush and other debris," says Terry Anderson, AnBo Mfg., Colville, Wash.
The new grapple rake has a hydraulic-operated grapple for clamping and holding material. The teeth are spaced 6 in. apart and are attached to heavy duty, rectangular steel tubing. A pair of hydraulic cylinders are used to open or close the grapple.
"It's a farmer-friendly unit," says Anderson. "There are bigger grapple forks on the market, but most of them are designed to be mounted on excavators or on tracked loaders used by the logging industry. We offer mounting brackets for most loaders and all Cat. I and II 3-pt. hitches. The unit mounts close to the loader arms for increased leverage and reduced stress on the machine.
"The teeth are made from T-1 steel that has 2 1/2 times the strength of regular steel. You can use this grapple fork to clear fence rows and pile up brush and also to pick it up and move it. The grapple teeth close down to about 3 in. apart. The narrow width of the blade allows you to skim the ground with the teeth and use the unit like a rake on a crawler tractor. The teeth are curved enough that logs slide up them, allowing you to pick up and haul more than one log at a time."
The company offers grapple forks in widths from 4 to 9 ft. "The 9-ft. model opens about 65 in. wide which is big enough to handle round bales. Our most popular size is 6 ft., which most skid steer loaders can handle," notes Anderson.
A 6-ft. grapple rake with quick tach brackets for skid steer loaders sells for $2,750.
