Exceptional service differentiates Mclaren from its competitors." - Rob Pagacz (Bobcat S300 skid steer loader); "Tires are still working out great. Tons of hours left on them!" - Levi McDermott (Mustang 2086 skid steer loader); "Made my bobcat work like a Cat dozer; Easy on off" - Roy Young (Bobcat S250 skid steer loader); "I think you make a superior product..." - Eric Wellish, (Case 1845C skid steer loader); "I really like the traction that I get from my tracks, and will most likely consider repurchasing when needed... I have the TDF series track." - Scott Robinson (Takeuchi TL 150 compact track loader); "Your Protrac rubber have saved me thousands of dollars! I rented a track machine for one month prior to having your tracks, that rental cost would have covered the cost of the McLarens. I was expecting to have bought a new machine, but there has been no reason to as the OTTs have added lift capacity, stability, a softer ride, and of course traction beyond my wildest expectations. My machine rep is not happy with your product, no sale for him... Could not be happier, literally!" - Simon Huxtable (Bobcat 763 skid steer loader); "The up front cost is greater than others but quality and performance far outweigh the cost." - Bearden Services (Bobcat S250 skid steer loader); "The sales rep that handled my purchase was knowledgeable, polite, and knew his product... Good job, keep it up. " - Mike Essenpreis (John Deere 325 skid steer loader); "The salesman helped me quite a bit with the sizing issue." - Dennis Weiss (Bobcat Model 100); "I appreciate the after sales follow up." - Eagle Golf Inc.

Quick Guide to the Different Types of Skid Steer Grapples

The world of skid steer loader attachments is vast, with dozens of different makes and models to choose from depending on your application. Even a broader classification, like skid steer grapples, has several unique models designed to handle slightly different jobs. Here is our quick guide to the different types of skid steer grapples and the functions they bring to your operation.

Log Grapple Bucket Attachment

One of the first grapple bucket products to mention is the log grapple. Built with longer tines, wear-resistant teeth, and serrated edges, these attachments effectively dig into thick tree trunks and bark. This allows you to pick up sections of a tree trunk up to several feet in length and transport them wherever needed. Log grapple bucket attachments are perfect for nurseries and forestry. They also come in handy during the land clearing process for construction projects.

Root Rake Grapple Bucket Attachment

If you’re clearing a section of land with a lot of trees, the root rake grapple is also a product you should have on hand. This attachment behaves like a rake, dislodging roots and large debris from the ground. Its smaller base tines are especially useful for this purpose, as they help prevent material blockages while you work. It also possesses a powerful top clamp to close over debris and allow you to pick it up. Root rake grapples are ideal for transporting and loading larger quantities of land debris, as they can manage larger clumps of material at a time and minimize tangling.

Heavy Duty Grapple Bucket Attachment

Heavy duty grapple bucket attachments are intended for much more demanding applications, such as those in construction and larger landscaping jobs. This product possesses two separate top clamps, allowing it to hold even incredibly large or uneven loads within its grasp. The open area in the center leaves extra space for uneven material piles and makes it possible to keep a tight hold on each bundle for transport.

Vertical Root Rake Grapple Attachment

Another important attachment to mention in this guide to the different types of skid steer grapples is the vertical root rake. This version includes a bottom bar designed to provide space for backfilling as you scoop items out of the earth. They also have larger tines to make it easier to lift and transport larger loads at once. These products are also great for applications including forestry, land clearing, and demolition.

Rock Rake Grapple Bucket Attachment

Rock rake grapple buckets, on the other hand, can effectively separate dirt and rocks from other types of materials. As such, they’re perfect for moving these troublesome obstructions during construction. This attachment has two grapple forks that work independently, making for more diversity during operation. They also make grabbing large rocks and other uneven loads more secure.
