A skid steer grapple rake is built to do more than one job at a time and this one is designed for high‑production land clearing and cleanup work. In this features and benefits breakdown, we take a closer look at how a grapple rake combines a rake and grapple into a single attachment, allowing operators to sort material while they work. The spaced rake tines let dirt and fines fall through while holding brush, roots, and debris—eliminating the need to move everything and sort later. This grapple rake features dual hydraulic cylinders that provide strong clamping force and independent movement on each side. That design makes it easier to control uneven, bulky, or awkward loads without losing grip—especially when you’re working fast during storm cleanup or land clearing operations. Built for durability, this attachment uses high‑strength steel throughout with T1 steel in high‑wear areas, making it suitable for day‑in, day‑out use in demanding environments. Compared to a straight bucket or a standalone rake, a grapple rake saves steps, reduces fuel use, and cuts down rework by combining material handling and sorting into a single pass. Available in multiple widths to match both compact and full‑size skid steers, this grapple rake is ideal for: • Land clearing • Storm cleanup • Site prep • Brush and debris handling If your skid steer is doing cleanup or land‑clearing work, this attachment helps you get the job done faster, cleaner, and more efficiently.
Today we're looking at our skid steer grapple rake and why it's built to do more than one job at a time.
This attachment combines a rake and a grapple into one tool. So you're not just moving material, you're sorting it as you work.
The rake tines are spaced to let dirt and fines fall through while you're still holding on to brush roots and debris. Instead of scooping up everything and sorting out later,
The grapple is designed specifically to work with the rake and runs dual cylinders. That gives you a strong clamping force and independent movement on each side. So you can handle uneven or awkward loads without losing control. Especially when you're working fast.
Durability matters on land clearing and cleanup work. That's why we build these with high strength steel throughout and T1 in high wear areas, so they can handle high production and strenuous use day in and day out.
When you compare this to just a standard straight bucket or a standalone rake, this attachment saves steps. With a bucket, you're moving everything
good material and bad material. And with just a rake, you don't have a grapple that controls the bulky debris. This unit combines both jobs into a single pass, which means less time, less fuel, and a more efficient jobsite.
When you're dealing with storm cleanup, land clearing time is scarce. And this attachment is built for exactly that kind of work. We offer multiple widths to match your machine, whether you're running a compact skid steer or a full size unit, you get the right fit for your operation.
If your skid steer is doing site work, clean up, land clearing this attachment helps you get the job done faster with fewer passes and less rework.
