Loader Bucket Add-On Grapple

A Loader Bucket Add-On Grapple allows one who has back, arm, or mobility issues to lift and move rocks, debris, logs, materials, etc., without having to leave the tractor or skid steer seat. The grapple, which operates off the machine’s hydraulic system, bolts directly onto loader bucket itself or affixes to a toolbar that runs the length of, but just few inches above, the bucket. To accommodate different loader bucket sizes and intended use of the grapple, the buyer can choose between (1) a longer-width add-on or (2) side-by-side smaller-width add-ons.

Cost: $600-$1,800, depending primarily on width of grapple or number of grapples
