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. Sincerely yours:

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.
A rock grapple bucket is a combination of a rock bucket and a grapple that allows users to pick up and move rocks, debris, logs, and other materials with ease.
The rock bucket portion of the attachment consists of a series of tines or teeth that can penetrate the ground to scoop up loose materials. The grapple portion of the attachment consists of two arms that close around the materials once they are in the bucket, allowing for secure transport.
The skid steer rock bucket grapple is often used in applications where materials need to be moved quickly and efficiently, such as on construction sites, farms, or in landscaping. It is designed to increase productivity and save time and labor by allowing users to move large amounts of material in a single pass.
Throughout our product line you will notice the use of HD and XHD for different products. This category stands for Heavy Duty and Extreme Heavy Duty. For us, this is only given to products that deserve it. This XHD rock grapple is built with 1/2 inch steel, meaning it can withstand a beating. It also is built with gussets everywhere, providing support where you need it. For that reason, we gave it one of our top durability grades with the XHD.
I'm Josh Skid Pro. Today, we're going to take a look at our industrial rock grapple. This is our most extreme-duty rock grapple built for the biggest track loaders out there, usually 75 horsepower and up. So, what makes this grapple good? I guess with anything, we start with construction. They look at the frame, the weight of the steel, and what's in it. That's always a good way to measure equipment. This grapple is over 1200 pounds. A critical area to look at on a grapple of this magnitude is the extreme-duty frame.
Here, we've got four by four-inch square tubing on both sides, and they can pull everything together. The sides are also half-inch thick, and we've cut out the sides so that when you're running long material like brush and logs, it can overflow without any trouble. Besides the heavy 4x4 frame, we've got a solid back bucket, just like our extreme-duty scrap grapples. We want that extra strength for the most extreme work environments, so that's a solid plate all in the back. We've also got gussets that tie in well with the tines.
You can see we're running half-inch tines spaced about three inches apart. There's a massive three-quarter inch cutting edge up front. By having that cutting edge, we're able to increase our breakout force and pierce the ground in digging applications. It's super-hardened steel, high carbon. You can see here on the serrated edge, we've got a one-inch lip we call our "Rock dam." So, when you're out digging rocks and you load them in your bucket, you shake out the sand or dirt. Then, when you go to grapple up another rock, the rock rolls forward, hits that rock dam, and stays in the bucket. This allows you to keep picking up more efficiently and get a full bucket of material.
Moving on to the grapples, when you work in an extreme environment, your grapple has to be as well-built as the frame on that bucket. Just like the tines, these grapples are constructed of high tensile strength steel. We run half-inch plate on the sides of the grapple, tied in with four-inch steel pipe, and gusseted all the way down. We have the pins, which are often overlooked by many companies. We run oversized inch and a quarter pins, and they are all greasable pivot points.
Another neat feature is the protected hose routing. The hoses are all inside the cylinder cover, and they drop down into the main frame of the grapple. They come out the center, so there are no exposed hoses until you get to the center. This provides good protection for the hoses, ensuring the durability and reliability of this industrial rock grapple in extreme working conditions.
