More Than A Dirt Bucket

The hydraulic grapple rake, a versatile new tractor/loader attachment, is giving farmers and ranchers greater control and efficiency in cleaning up, moving, loading and stacking tasks.

While the dirt bucket has been the standard tractor or loader attachment, it has drawbacks in a variety of tasks requiring control and efficiency such as raking, carrying or stacking. In response, alongside the traditional bucket, farmers and ranchers are adding a versatile new attachment - the hydraulic grapple rake - to their tractors, loaders and skid steers

.Because it`s more efficient and adaptable than the bucket, the grapple rake, which hydraulically opens, closes, and moves it`s jaws of spaced metal tines, is becoming indispensable. It can remove trees and brush or surface rake limbs and debris without piling up unnecessary dirt. It can dig out roots, stumps and rocks. It can pick up, move and stack logs and hay bales. It can even lightly plow and efficiently tackle a variety of tasks requiring more control than the typical bucket provides.
