Heavy-Duty "Grapple Bucket

Heavy-Duty "Grapple Bucket TRACTORS Loaders 26-5-28 "It's built tough and makes your skid loader work like a small bulldozer. Works great for digging up stumps and rocks and hauling them away, as well as tearing out concrete slabs and walls," says Corey Krantz, Sabre Tooth Industries, about the company's new heavy-duty grapple bucket for skid loaders. The "Stump Plucker" combines bottom digger teeth spaced 7 in. apart with a 3 or 5-tooth grapple on top. The center two digger teeth are bolted in while the outside teeth are held in with a quick pin. The unit quick-taches to any skid loader equipped with universal mounting brackets. Larger "Wide Body" models equipped with two 3-tooth grapples are available up to to 6 1/2 ft. wide, and all of them can handle objects up to 30 in. in diameter. "It works better than a conventional loader bucket because you can dig the ripper teeth into the ground and drive forward without coming up with a bucket full of dirt," says Krantz. "It works great for tearing tree roots loose and then pushing the tree over and hauling it away." "Stump Plucker" models range in price from $2,760 to $3,475 depending on the number of digger teeth and the size of the grapple. The Wide Body models sell for $4,200 to $4,500.
