WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT OUR ROCK BUCKET GRAPPLE
Dodgeville, WI
"Dear Todd Westlund: I spoke to you about a rock grapple bucket for my 60xt case skid steer and you did not steer me in the wrong direction. We Love it! I told you I needed something built very strong and would take a lot of pressure. We had a tornado hit on our property; it took 200 plus trees down & broke off a lot of them half way up. I could grab a lot of the tree by the branches and pull the top off in a very safe manner. I moved rocks and boulders to get into some areas. I would top the tree branches three inches and smaller, then push it together and grab it with the grapple bucket, sometimes getting so many branches at once that you couldn’t hardly lift them. It’s amazing how many tops you could get in one bucket full to put on the burn pile; lots of times not even being able to see the skid steer itself then going back and pick logs up 2, 3, 4 at a time, which saved so much time and travel and of course some 3’ diameter one at a time. I could dig burn holes, pick big rocks, level the ground and also pick up brush, logs, level gravel and move dirt. This is the bucket to have. Built very strong and is so universal. I don’t know if I will put my dirt bucket back on, maybe to haul gravel or move snow. I love the fact I can back drag of go ahead and see through the tines to make the ground level. Todd you told me this bucket would work well for me and it has, well beyond my expectations. The covered rams are a great idea. Thank you for your support and your fast transactions over the phone as well as your very speedy delivery. I recommend this grapple bucket to anyone and everyone."

"I've been using the grapple and stump bucket a bunch. Absolutely abusing them for over a week now I'm so happy how well they're holding up. The build quality is top notch, and the materials are so thick I don't think I'll be able to break anything. Stumps some out with ease and the grapple is handy as can be. I'm very happy with this purchase and thank you for your help in deciding what to buy. When I'm back in the market for more attachments you will be my first (and probably only) call. Thanks again."
