Skid-Steer Multi-Function Grapple

Workers who have difficulty climbing, lifting, carrying, or shoveling can use a Skid-Steer Multi-Function Grapple to push dirt and lift logs, brush, and stones without leaving the seat of their skid steer. Called a Demo-Dozer, this hydraulically powered, all-steel grapple can be altered/modified to serve as a general-purpose bucket, a 4-in-1 bucket, a grapple bucket, a clam-shell bucket, a demolition bucket, a dozer blade, and a log handler. It’s also equipped with hitch receivers, pre-drilled holes for bolt-on edges, chain hooks with pins, and removable side plates. Models available: 60-, 66-, 72-, 78-, and 84-inch-wide units, which are intended for use on the larger machines (65 hp and up), and 36- and 42-inch-wide units for walk-behind mini skid-steers.

Cost: $4,200 and up
