{"title":"Mini Skid Steer Grapples | Forge Claw","description":"\u003cp\u003eMini skid steer grapples turn a compact utility loader into a one-machine clearing crew. Brush piles, tangled roots, loose rock, demolition debris — a hydraulic grapple grabs it all and moves it where you need it. No hand loading. No extra labor standing around. Your mini skid steer already has the power. A grapple just puts that power to work on the irregular stuff a bucket can't handle. Root grapples, rock grapples, log grapples, debris grapples — each one built for a specific material type so you pick the right jaw for the job and get it done faster.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mini-skid-steer-root-grapple","title":"Root Grapple | Mini Skid Steer Attachment | Hydraulic | Single Tine | 3\/8\" Steel | 2\" x 10\" Cylinder | Toro Dingo \u0026 Bobcat MT50 Mount Options | 36\"–50\"","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you're clearing brush, pulling stumps, or hauling debris on tight job sites, you need a grapple that grabs hard and won't let go. The Root Grapple Single Tine from Loflin Manufacturing is built for operators who work in tight spaces where every inch counts and every move needs to be precise. With its single-tine design and 34-inch opening width, this grapple delivers serious gripping power while letting dirt and debris fall through naturally, so you're moving what matters and leaving the rest behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn't just another attachment you bolt on and hope for the best. Loflin Manufacturing designed this root grapple from the ground up for mini skid steers, compact tractors, and machines like the Toro Dingo and Bobcat MT-SO mount systems. The single tine on top is built from 3\/8-inch thick steel, powder coated for long-term durability in the dirt, mud, and weather that define your workday. The 2-inch by 10-inch cylinder delivers reliable hydraulic force, and every hinge point is fully greasable so you can keep this grapple working season after season without fighting wear and breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this grapple stand out is how it handles real-world tasks. The single-tine design allows you to slide along the top of the ground without digging in or tearing up underground utilities, irrigation lines, or drainage systems. That's a huge advantage when you're working around established landscapes, near buildings, or on properties where damaging what's beneath the surface costs you time and money. You get control, precision, and the confidence to work fast without worrying about what you might hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForge Claw proudly distributes this root grapple nationwide, and we back it with shipping calculated at checkout to your door. We work with contractors, landscapers, tree service pros, and landowners who need attachments that show up ready to work and don't quit when the job gets tough. This grapple comes equipped with Parker brand hoses, fittings, and couplers, so it's job-site ready the moment it arrives. No hunting for parts, no mismatched fittings, no wasted morning trying to get hydraulics to cooperate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapple is available in 36-inch, 42-inch, and 48-inch widths for mini skid steers, and Loflin Manufacturing offers custom sizes and mounts if your machine or application needs something specific. Tine spacing ranges from 4-11\/16 inches to 7-7\/16 inches, with custom spacing available depending on what you're grabbing. Whether you're pulling roots, moving brush piles, handling logs, or clearing fence lines, this grapple adapts to the task without forcing you to work around its limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hydraulic cylinder is fully covered to protect it from impacts, debris, and the kind of abuse that comes with land clearing and demolition work. Hoses are fully protected and routed to keep them out of harm's way, which means fewer service calls and less downtime. The quick attach is reinforced to handle the stress of lifting, twisting, and pulling without bending or cracking under load. These aren't just features listed on a spec sheet—they're the difference between an attachment that lasts years and one that needs constant repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoflin Manufacturing calls this the original root grapple design, and it shows. The engineering is thoughtful, the construction is heavy-duty, and the performance is exactly what you need when the job requires more than just brute force. You're not fighting the attachment to get work done. You're using a tool that works with you, responds predictably, and handles the kind of punishment that breaks lesser equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForge Claw works with professionals who can't afford to buy twice. You need attachments that earn their keep from day one and keep earning it year after year. This root grapple delivers that kind of value. It's not the cheapest option out there, and it's not trying to be. It's built for operators who understand that reliability, durability, and performance cost less in the long run than replacing budget attachments that fail when you need them most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a contractor clearing lots for new construction, a landowner managing your property, or a tree service professional hauling brush and debris, this grapple gives you the control and capacity to work faster and smarter. The single-tine design is especially useful when you're working in areas where a multi-tine grapple would be overkill or too aggressive. You get the precision to pick up individual logs, roots, or limbs without dragging half the ground with you, and the strength to handle heavy loads without worrying about bending or breaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe powder-coated finish isn't just for looks.

The single-tine design gives you the precision to pick up individual pieces without scooping up extra dirt and debris, which means fewer trips to the dump and less time shaking loads to separate what you want from what you don't. When you're working by the hour or trying to finish before weather moves in, that efficiency adds up fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurability translates directly into cost savings. The reinforced construction, protected hydraulics, and greasable hinge points mean you're spending less on repairs and replacement parts over the life of the grapple. The powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion, so you're not dealing with structural degradation that forces you to replace the attachment prematurely. You're getting years of reliable service from a single investment, which lowers your cost per job and improves your return on investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 34-inch opening width gives you the capacity to handle substantial loads without requiring a larger, heavier grapple that might exceed your machine's lifting capacity or hydraulic flow. You're maximizing what your equipment can do without pushing it beyond safe operating limits. That balance between capacity and compatibility means you can take on bigger jobs without upgrading your entire machine, which saves capital and keeps your operation running with the equipment you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJob site versatility is another key advantage. The ability to slide along the ground without digging in makes this grapple ideal for working around existing structures, near property lines, or in areas where you can't risk damaging what's below the surface. You're not limited to wide-open spaces or jobs where tearing up the ground doesn't matter. You can work confidently in residential areas, around commercial buildings, and on properties where precision and care are just as important as speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProductivity improves when your equipment works the way you expect it to, every time. The Parker brand hydraulic components ensure consistent performance without leaks, pressure loss, or connection failures that slow you down. The reinforced quick attach lets you swap this grapple on and off quickly when you need to switch tasks, and the greasable hinge points keep the motion smooth and responsive so you're not fighting stiff or binding joints that waste energy and strain your machine's hydraulics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe open design that allows dirt to fall through means you're not hauling unnecessary weight, which reduces fuel consumption and wear on your machine.

Landscapers will find it invaluable for moving brush, hauling logs, and clearing debris without damaging turf or irrigation systems. Tree service professionals can use it to handle cut limbs, stumps, and root balls efficiently, while landowners and property managers will appreciate its versatility for maintaining trails, clearing fence lines, and managing woodlots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapple is designed to fit mini skid steers, compact tractors, and specific mounts like the Toro Dingo and Bobcat MT-SO systems, but Loflin Manufacturing offers custom sizing and mounting options if your machine requires something different. Before ordering, confirm your machine's hydraulic flow rate and lifting capacity to ensure compatibility. Most compact machines in this class will handle the grapple without issue, but checking specs up front prevents surprises and ensures safe operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperating this grapple is straightforward. Connect the hydraulic couplers, test the open and close function before loading, and work within your machine's rated capacity. Keep hinge points greased according to the maintenance schedule, inspect hoses and fittings regularly for wear or damage, and store the grapple on level ground when not in use to prevent stress on the cylinder. These simple practices will extend the life of the attachment and keep it operating smoothly for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is minimal but important. Grease the hinge points every 10 to 20 hours of operation, check hydraulic connections for leaks, and inspect the tine and welds for cracks or damage after heavy use. The powder-coated finish is durable, but if you scratch through to bare metal, touch it up with paint to prevent rust from taking hold. Proper care keeps this grapple working at full capacity and protects your investment over the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured by Loflin Manufacturing, this product is covered under the manufacturer's 12-month warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first registered owner from the date of invoice.

Instead of making multiple passes to clean up a pile or reposition a load that keeps slipping, you can grab it once and move on. The independent tines conform to the shape of whatever you're holding, which means fewer dropped loads and less time chasing down debris that rolled off halfway to the truck. For contractors working on tight schedules or operators juggling multiple properties, those minutes add up fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurability translates directly into cost savings over the life of the attachment. The 3\/8-inch steel tines don't bend or break when you hit rocks or drag through compacted soil. The powder-coated finish protects against rust and wear, so you're not repainting or replacing parts every season. Parker hydraulic components mean fewer leaks and less downtime, which keeps your machine working instead of sitting in the shop waiting for parts. When you invest in quality, you're not buying the same tool twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rake-style design is a productivity booster that's easy to overlook until you've used it. Letting dirt and small debris fall through the tines means you're moving only what you need to move. That reduces the weight on your machine, saves fuel, and speeds up the loading process. You're not wasting time shaking out a bucket or making extra trips because half your load was dirt that should've stayed on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor operators dealing with storm cleanup, land clearing, or demolition debris, the independent tine design is a real advantage. Twisted metal, tangled roots, and awkward piles don't cooperate with rigid grapples, but when each tine can move on its own, you can grip around irregular shapes and hold them tight. That makes dangerous or difficult loads safer to handle and faster to clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is straightforward and easy to keep up with. Greasable hinge points mean you can keep everything moving smoothly with a grease gun and a few minutes of attention.

The simpler your maintenance routine, the more time your equipment spends working and earning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis grapple improves job site safety by giving you better control over unstable loads. When you can clamp down tight and hold securely, you're not worried about debris shifting or falling during transport. That protects you, your crew, and anyone working nearby. Better control also means less wear and tear on your machine because you're not fighting the load or making sudden corrections to keep it balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe real-world value of this attachment shows up in your bottom line. Faster job completion means you can take on more work or finish early and move to the next project. Lower fuel and maintenance costs improve your margins.

Keep the hinge points greased regularly to maintain smooth tine movement and prevent premature wear. Inspect the hydraulic hoses before each use for signs of abrasion or damage, especially if you're working in tight spaces or around sharp debris. When loading, position the grapple so the tines can wrap around the load naturally — this gives you the best grip and reduces stress on the cylinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoutine maintenance is minimal but important. Clean out any debris that gets packed between the tines after heavy use, and check that the powder-coated finish hasn't been damaged in high-wear areas. Touch up any chips or scratches to prevent rust from starting. Following these simple steps will keep your grapple working reliably for years and protect your investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured by Loflin Manufacturing, this product is covered under the manufacturer's 12-month warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, valid for the first registered owner from the date of invoice.
