Skid Steer Gorilla Root Grapple Description The G2 Root Grapple is a super heavy duty grapple is perfect for ripping up concrete, picking up logs, rocks, concrete, and other heavy objects. Many grapples are just a glorified bucket with some means of clamping down on the frame. Those grapples rarely ever meet expectations. The G2 does, and more. At 900 pounds, this is a Grappling Heavy Weight. Most other Grapples available have such short teeth that you cannot reach under an item and grip it. To add strength, the manufacturers have added plenty of reinforced teeth or frame work, but this takes so much away in functionality that you may as well use a regular bucket. This new Gorilla Grapple has only three large reinforced teeth that allow you to reach, rip and tear. It is so strong that you can scarify solid ground and rip up concrete. Once you tear up the concrete, you can pick it up and dump it. Clearing large brush and stump areas is a snap. Tree gathering and general clearing mayhem is a blast with this attachment. You simply cannot find a tougher Grapple than this.  Testimonial from the Owner of Skid Steer Solutions "We happened to pick up a logging project when the first one of these came in. Most of the time we would chase the branches around and try to grab them. With this tool, we would just dive into whatever pile was in our way and as the grapple closed, it would pull the material to the center and actually compact it... WOW!!" Features

The grapple is a beast. Picked up massive burnt trees and debris from burnt buildings. Definitely a piece of equipment that I should have had a long time ago.

Bought the grapple to use while logging to carrying precuts and pushing brush. It's held up well for many years and is extremely versatile. My one complaint is the greasable pins breaking. I'm on my 5th one. Otherwise it's been a decent grapple.

I've had this for a few years. It is indeed a monster. I've run it on an s 250 and an s650 and you can pick up slabs of concrete and gently lay them in the dump trailer. Up to a size that tips you forward. In that case you simply rotate it down into the ground and snap it to a manageable size. It tumbled off the trailer once and bounced down the road and it scratched the paint. I don't see how you could break this thing. And I've talked to the factory because I needed a switch for a shear they also make and they are super nice. Great people and great product.
