Transform your skid steer into a land-clearing powerhouse with the Star Industries 170-72 Root Grapple. Engineered for the most demanding cleanup, demolition, and site preparation tasks, this 72-inch heavy-duty attachment allows you to move bulky, hard-to-handle materials with absolute confidence. Whether you are clearing thick brush, transporting heavy logs, or removing jagged rocks, the open-tine design ensures that dirt and small particulates sift through, leaving valuable topsoil behind while you haul away only the debris. This efficiency reduces load weight and disposal costs, making it an essential tool for landscaping and construction professionals.

Durability and safety are at the core of this design. The root grapple features upward-curved tines specifically engineered to prevent snagging on utility lines or cables during storm cleanup, protecting both the operator and the job site infrastructure. The dual independent hydraulic cylinders provide superior clamping force that automatically adjusts to uneven loads, ensuring a secure grip on irregular objects like tree stumps or concrete chunks. Built with reinforced high-tensile steel plates and fully protected hydraulic components, this grapple is designed to withstand the rigors of daily commercial use while delivering reliable, long-lasting performance.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To maximize the sifting capability of this grapple, tilt the attachment slightly back and gently shake the controls when lifting a load. This agitation encourages loose dirt and small stones to fall through the tine gaps, ensuring you are hauling clean debris and not wasting capacity on fill dirt.
