The Root Grapple Double Tine from Loflin Manufacturing is built specifically for compact tractor operators who need serious grabbing power without the bulk of a full-size machine attachment. This isn't some flimsy add-on that'll bend the first time you grab a root ball. It's a heavy-duty grapple designed to work as hard as you do, day after day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this root grapple apart is the independent grapple tine design. Each tine operates on its own, which means you can grab uneven loads without fighting the attachment. If you've ever tried to pick up a stump with one side higher than the other, you know how frustrating it is when your grapple can't adjust. With independent tines, the grapple conforms to whatever you're picking up, giving you a solid grip every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoflin Manufacturing builds this grapple with dual 3\/8-inch thick steel bottom tines that won't twist or warp under pressure. The frame is powder coated for long-term durability, so it holds up against the scratches, scrapes, and weather that come with outdoor work. You're not babying this thing. You're using it to rip out roots, move logs, and haul debris, and it's designed to take that kind of abuse without falling apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapple runs on two 2-inch by 8-inch AG cylinders that deliver smooth, reliable clamping force. These aren't undersized cylinders that struggle under load. They're sized right for compact tractors up to 40 horsepower, giving you enough grip to handle serious material without overloading your machine. The cylinders are built to last, and because all the pivot points are greasable, you can keep everything moving smoothly with just a few minutes of maintenance here and there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the best things about ordering from Forge Claw is that this grapple comes jobsite ready. It's equipped with Parker brand hoses, fittings, and couplers right out of the box. You're not hunting down parts or making extra trips to the supply store. You hook it up to your tractor's hydraulics, and you're ready to work. That's the kind of attention to detail that saves you time and hassle on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapple opens to a full 28 inches, which gives you plenty of room to grab large root balls, brush piles, and logs. The tine spacing runs between 8.5 and 9 inches, which is tight enough to grab smaller branches and debris but wide enough to let dirt and rocks fall through when you're shaking out a load. It's a smart balance that makes the grapple more versatile across different types of cleanup and land clearing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForge Claw stocks this root grapple in 60-inch, 66-inch, and 72-inch widths, so you can match the grapple size to your tractor and the type of work you're doing. If you're working in tighter spaces or around fences and buildings, the 60-inch model gives you more maneuverability. If you're clearing open land and want to move more material per pass, the 72-inch grapple lets you grab bigger loads. All three sizes are built to the same quality standard, so you're getting the same rugged construction no matter which width you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quick attach mounting system makes it easy to swap this grapple on and off your tractor. You're not spending half your morning bolting and unbolting attachments. You drive up, latch it in, connect the hydraulics, and you're good to go. That flexibility means you can use your tractor for other tasks throughout the day without losing time to complicated attachment changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis grapple is made in the USA by Loflin Manufacturing, a company known for building attachments that hold up in the field. When you buy from Forge Claw, you're getting a product that's been tested, proven, and backed by a solid warranty. You're also getting free nationwide shipping, which means the grapple shows up at your door ready to work, with no surprise fees or extra costs tacked on at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a contractor clearing lots for new construction, a landowner managing your own property, or a landscaper handling storm cleanup and tree removal, this root grapple gives you the grabbing power and durability you need to get the job done. It's built for real work, not light-duty weekend projects. And because it's designed specifically for compact tractors, it won't overload your machine or put unnecessary strain on your hydraulics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe powder coat finish isn't just for looks. It protects the steel from rust and corrosion, which matters when your grapple is sitting outside between jobs or getting dragged through wet soil and mulch. The finish holds up better than paint, and it keeps the grapple looking good even after months of hard use. It's a small detail that makes a big difference in how long the attachment lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreasable pivot points mean you can keep the grapple moving smoothly with basic maintenance. A few shots of grease every so often keeps everything tight and responsive, which extends the life of the pivot pins and bushings. It's the kind of simple upkeep that prevents bigger problems down the road and keeps your grapple working like new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you order your Root Grapple Double Tine from Forge Claw, you're dealing with a distributor that understands the heavy equipment industry. They know what contractors and landowners need, and they stock the attachments that deliver real value on the job site.

Instead of repositioning your tractor three or four times to get a good grip on an uneven stump, you grab it once and move on. That adds up fast over the course of a day, especially when you're clearing multiple stumps or moving a lot of brush. Less repositioning means more loads moved per hour, and that directly impacts how much work you can finish in a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurability translates to lower long-term costs. When your grapple is built with 3\/8-inch steel tines and a powder coated frame, you're not replacing bent tines or dealing with rust issues after a season of use. The attachment holds its value, works reliably, and doesn't nickel-and-dime you with constant repairs. That's money saved and downtime avoided, which matters whether you're running a business or managing your own property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe greasable pivot points and quality hydraulic components reduce maintenance headaches. You're not tearing apart the grapple to replace worn bushings or dealing with leaky hydraulic fittings. A little grease and a quick visual check keeps everything running smoothly. When your equipment is easier to maintain, you spend more time working and less time wrenching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving the right width grapple for your tractor and your workload improves productivity. A 60-inch grapple fits into tighter spaces and works well for smaller tractors, while a 72-inch model lets you grab bigger loads and cover more ground when you have the room. Matching the tool to the task means you're working efficiently instead of fighting an attachment that's too big or too small for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quick attach system gives you flexibility throughout your workday. You can run the grapple in the morning for land clearing, swap to a bucket for grading in the afternoon, and switch back to the grapple for cleanup at the end of the day. That versatility makes your tractor more useful and your operation more efficient, especially when you're juggling multiple tasks on the same property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you order from Forge Claw, you get free nationwide shipping and flexible financing options. That means you can get the equipment you need without draining your budget upfront or paying extra for delivery. It's a straightforward buying experience that gets quality equipment in your hands without the hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 28-inch opening width handles a wide range of materials, from tight bundles of branches to sprawling root systems. You're not limited to small loads or perfectly shaped material. You can tackle the messy, irregular debris that comes with real-world land clearing and tree work, which makes the grapple more useful across different types of jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis root grapple is ideal for contractors doing site prep and land clearing, landowners maintaining their own properties, and landscapers handling storm cleanup and tree removal. It's also a great fit for ranch and farm owners who need to clear fence lines, move brush, and handle general property maintenance. If you're running a compact tractor up to 40 horsepower, this grapple is sized right for your machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapple is designed for quick attach mounting systems, which is standard on most modern compact tractors. Before ordering, confirm that your tractor uses a quick attach system and check the width that best matches your machine and the type of work you're doing. If you're working in tighter areas, the 60-inch width offers better maneuverability. For open land clearing, the 66-inch or 72-inch models let you move more material per pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen operating the grapple, use the independent tines to your advantage. Let the grapple conform to the shape of the load instead of forcing it. When moving root balls or uneven material, approach slowly and let the tines close around the load naturally. Shake out excess dirt before transporting to reduce weight and keep your load more stable. After each use, take a minute to clear debris from the pivot points and check the hydraulic connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegular maintenance is simple. Grease the pivot points according to your usage schedule—more often if you're working in wet or dirty conditions. Inspect the hydraulic hoses and fittings periodically for wear or leaks. Keep the powder coat finish clean to maximize its protective benefits, and touch up any scratches or chips to prevent rust from taking hold. Store the grapple on level ground or hang it properly to keep the frame straight and the tines in good shape.\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.
