FAQs Grapple Rake

 

How wide do the grapples open?

The grapple opening is probably the most important feature of a grapple.  A wider opening means you can grab more material.  We have openings from 50" to 73".  Even large enough to handle large round bales.

 

 

What is the weight of the grapples?

We have several models to choose from.  Weights range from as low as 367 lbs. for small tractors up to 1190 lbs. for large equipment.  Remember to choose a grapple that weighs less than 50% of your lift capacity.
 

 

Are hoses included?

Hoses are included with most models or are available as an accessory.

 

 

What will the rakes pick up?

The grapples can pick-up any loose material.  They are not designed to dig.

 

What is the spacing of the rake tines?

Our spacing of tines is 6".  This is wide enough to sift the dirt yet close enough to hold small materal such as rocks.

 

Should I choose a single grapple or double grapple?

Generally speaking, a double grapple is preferred to clamp down on uneven loads.  A single grapple may be preferred for picking up even material such as hay bales.
