About this product
Take Control of Brush Piles with a Heavy Duty Root Grapple
Grab tangled brush, lift stubborn debris, and turn a rough cleanup job into usable ground.
Cutting down trees and clearing overgrown property is only half the job. Then comes the pile of branches, tangled roots, broken limbs, and logs scattered across the ground. Moving everything with a bucket takes repeated passes, and trying to balance a load of brush rarely ends well.
The Storm 72" Heavy Duty Root Grapple gives your skid steer the ability to grab, clamp, and transport bulky debris without trying to keep it balanced in an ordinary bucket. Its dual hydraulic cylinders and enclosed claw design help secure irregular loads, whether you're collecting brush after tree removal, handling logs, or cleaning up a storm damaged property.
Across its 72" working width, the grapple uses 3/8" steel inner tines with 7" spacing. The open tine arrangement allows loose soil and smaller material to fall through as you lift brush, roots, and other larger debris. That means less unnecessary dirt being carried along with the cleanup pile.
The grapple also features greasable pivots, heavy duty cylinder covers, and 6,100 lb rated hydraulic hoses. These construction details matter when you're working around branches, rocks, and uneven ground where hydraulic components are exposed to potential impacts.
At a manufacturer listed 540 lb, this grapple is recommended for machines up to 75 HP and intended for home, farm, and light commercial use. Built in Michigan using American steel, it's designed for landowners, farmers, and contractors who have serious brush cleanup ahead of them.
Whether you're opening up a fence line, cleaning a wooded lot, or hauling storm debris to a burn pile, the goal is the same: spend more time clearing ground and less time chasing loose branches.
Storm 72" Heavy Duty Root Grapple Key Features
72" Wide Grapple with 3/8" Steel Tines
The wide frame lets you collect substantial piles of brush, branches, and other debris. Storm uses 3/8" steel for both the inner tines and side construction, providing a sturdy structure for lifting and transporting irregular material.
7" Tine Spacing
The open tine arrangement helps separate loose soil and smaller debris from larger material as you lift. This is especially useful when collecting roots, brush, and logs rather than scooping everything up with a solid bottom bucket.
Dual Hydraulic Cylinder Operation
Two welded hydraulic cylinders operate the grapple's clamping mechanism, helping secure uneven bundles of brush, logs, and other awkward loads. This gives the operator more control than trying to carry loose material without a hydraulic clamp.
Heavy Duty Cylinder Covers
Protective covers help shield the hydraulic cylinders from contact with branches and debris during operation. Storm also includes a bracket for an optional hose protector kit to support hydraulic hose routing and protection.
Greaseable Pivots and Heavy Duty Hoses
All pivots are greaseable for routine maintenance, and the grapple uses 6,100 lb rated hydraulic hoses. Keeping pivot points lubricated helps maintain smooth movement as the attachment handles repeated loading and unloading.
Built for Machines Up to 75 HP
Storm recommends this model for skid steers and compatible loaders up to 75 HP. Its 540 lb listed weight and heavy duty construction make it suited to demanding property cleanup, farm maintenance, and light commercial brush handling when properly matched to the machine.
