Heavy Duty Rock Grapple | Skid Steer Attachment | Hydraulic | 1/2" Steel Tines | 3" Tine Spacing | 2" x 10" Cylinders | Quick Attach | 66"–84"

The XHD Rock Bucket Grapple from Loflin Manufacturing is the kind of attachment that changes how you work. If you're clearing land, cleaning up job sites, sorting rock from soil, or handling demolition debris, this grapple does the work of three separate tools in a single pass. It rakes, grabs, piles, and backfills without switching attachments or wasting time. That's the difference between finishing a job in one day versus three.

Forge Claw proudly distributes the XHD Rock Bucket Grapple nationwide, and we've seen firsthand how this attachment performs across tree services, landscaping operations, construction sites, farms, and ranches. It's built to handle the toughest materials—logs, brush, rocks, concrete rubble, stumps, root balls, and mixed debris—while letting soil fall through so you're only moving what matters. The curved tines glide across the ground without tearing up topsoil or snagging utility lines, which means you can work faster and cleaner on sensitive sites.

This isn't a lightweight grapple pretending to handle heavy work. The XHD is engineered with half-inch thick steel tines spaced three inches apart, giving you the strength to grip irregular loads and the open design to shake out dirt and fines. The round bottom bar works as a backfill blade, so after you've cleared debris, you can grade and smooth without grabbing another tool. That's real efficiency—doing more with less and keeping your operator in the seat instead of swapping attachments.

One of the smartest features on this grapple is the independent hydraulic cylinder operation. Each two-inch by ten-inch cylinder moves on its own, which means uneven loads don't throw off your grip. If you're grabbing a pile of mixed brush and rock or lifting a gnarly stump with roots going every direction, the grapples adjust automatically to keep everything secure. You're not fighting the load or repositioning multiple times. You grab it, move it, and dump it. Simple as that.

Loflin Manufacturing designed this grapple with enclosed cylinders and fully protected hoses, which is a huge advantage if you work in dense brush, demo sites, or anywhere debris can snag or puncture lines. Fewer repairs mean less downtime and lower operating costs over the life of the attachment. The grapple comes outfitted with Parker brand hoses, fittings, and couplers right from the factory, so it's jobsite-ready the day it arrives. You're not hunting down parts or making trips to the hydraulic shop before you can use it.

The XHD Rock Bucket Grapple is available in multiple widths to match your machine and the scale of your work. Forge Claw stocks 66-inch, 72-inch, 78-inch, and 84-inch models, and custom sizes are available if your operation demands something specific. Whether you're running a compact skid steer on residential lots or a full-size machine on commercial land clearing projects, there's a size that fits your workflow.

Opening width on this grapple is 31 inches, giving you serious bite when you clamp down. That's enough range to handle oversized material without losing control of smaller pieces. The larger capacity also means fewer trips back and forth between the pile and the dump site, which adds up to real time savings over the course of a day. If you're billing by the hour or working against a deadline, that efficiency translates directly into profit.

The treaded step on the frame gives your operator a safe place to stand when hooking up hoses or performing maintenance, which is a small detail that makes a big difference in daily use. Oversized, greaseable pins—sized at an inch and a quarter—ensure smooth operation and long service life. These aren't weak points that'll wear out after a season. They're built to take the abuse of constant cycling and heavy loads.

What really sets the XHD apart is how it handles mixed material. If you've ever tried sorting rock from topsoil with a bucket, you know how tedious it is. You scoop, shake, dump, repeat. The XHD does that work for you. The tine spacing and curved design let dirt fall through while you hold onto the rock, roots, wood, or rubble. You're not hauling away good soil or wasting time trying to separate materials by hand. You're sorting as you go, which keeps your piles clean and your schedule on track.

This grapple is a workhorse for tree service crews dealing with storm cleanup, lot clearing, or stump removal. It's equally valuable on construction sites where you're demolishing structures, moving concrete, or clearing foundation areas. Landscapers use it to remove old hardscaping, relocate boulders, and clean up after installations. Farmers and ranchers rely on it for pasture maintenance, fence line clearing, and handling field stone. It's one of those rare attachments that earns its place on your machine no matter what industry you're in.

The XHD Rock Bucket Grapple cuts your labor costs by doing the work of three separate attachments in one pass. You're raking debris, grabbing and moving it, and backfilling or grading—all without leaving the cab. That means fewer attachment changes, less downtime, and more billable hours in a day. For contractors working on tight schedules or fixed bids, that efficiency is the difference between profit and breaking even.

Durability is built into every part of this grapple. The half-inch steel tines won't fold or crack when you're pulling stumps or moving broken concrete. The enclosed cylinders and protected hoses mean you're not replacing hydraulic components every few months because a branch punched through a line. The oversized pins and greaseable joints keep everything moving smoothly season after season. You're buying an attachment that's built to last years, not one that'll need major repairs after the first hard job.

Time savings add up fast with the XHD. The larger opening width and higher capacity mean fewer trips to move the same amount of material. The independent cylinders mean you grab uneven loads on the first try instead of repositioning and re-gripping. The tine spacing sorts material as you work, so you're not stopping to shake out dirt or pick through piles by hand. Every minute you save on one task multiplies across a full day, a full week, a full season.

This grapple handles mixed and difficult material better than a standard bucket or basic grapple. Demolition debris with rebar, root balls with rocks embedded in them, brush piles tangled with fence wire—the XHD bites down and holds it all securely. The curved tines and three-inch spacing give you control without sacrificing capacity. You're not leaving half the pile behind or making multiple passes to get a clean grab.

Return on investment is straightforward. You're lowering labor costs by eliminating extra workers or extra hours. You're reducing equipment wear by using one attachment instead of swapping multiple tools. You're finishing jobs faster, which means you can take on more work or move to the next project sooner. The XHD pays for itself in time and money saved, and it keeps delivering value for years because it's built to hold up under real-world abuse.

The XHD Rock Bucket Grapple is ideal for contractors, landscapers, tree service professionals, farmers, ranchers, and land managers who need a single attachment that can handle multiple materials and tasks. It's equally at home on residential lot clearing projects, commercial construction sites, agricultural land improvement, and storm debris cleanup. If your work involves moving, sorting, or handling mixed materials, this grapple fits your operation.

This attachment is designed for skid steer loaders with standard universal quick-attach mounting systems. Make sure your machine's hydraulic flow and pressure meet the requirements for operating dual cylinders smoothly. Most modern skid steers handle this grapple without issues, but it's worth confirming compatibility with your specific model, especially if you're running an older or smaller machine. Forge Claw's team can help answer any questions about fitment before you order.

Operating the XHD is straightforward, but a few best practices will extend its life and improve performance. Grease the pins regularly, especially if you're working in dusty or dirty conditions. Keep hydraulic fluid clean and check hoses for wear or damage before each use. When grabbing loads, position the grapple so the tines are slightly angled down to get under the material cleanly. Don't force the cylinders past full extension or full closure—let the hydraulics do the work.

Maintenance is minimal thanks to the protected hoses and enclosed cylinders, but regular inspections will catch small issues before they become big problems. Check welds and tines for cracks or bending, especially after heavy demo work or stump removal. Replace worn pins or bushings before they cause uneven wear on the frame. Store the grapple on level ground or a pallet to keep weight off the cylinders when it's not in use. Treat it right, and the XHD will handle thousands of hours of hard work without major repairs.
