Skid Steer Root Grapple Bucket - Star Industries

Skid Steer Root Grapple Bucket for Brush, Logs, and Debris Open-bottom root grapple buckets for land clearing, storm cleanup, brush piles, rocks, logs, and rough property work. Star Industries Root Grapple Buckets are built for skid steer operators who need to grab bulky material while letting dirt sift through the bottom tines. They are a strong fit for landowners, farms, ranches, municipalities, and small contractors cleaning up brush, logs, rocks, storm debris, trash, and demolition piles. The separated tine bottom helps reduce the amount of soil carried with each load, while upward-curved root grapple tines help avoid catching utility lines or cables during storm cleanup. The specifications include 8 1/2 in. approximate bottom tine spacing, with optional intermediate bottom tines available to tighten spacing to about 4 in. Choose Heavy Duty models for standard skid steer cleanup work, or Demolition Grade models for more severe use. Demolition Grade is the better fit for track-style skid steers and machines with 70 HP or 3,500 lb capacity or greater.
