ANBO GR160-8 Tractor Grapple Rake - 8" Tines

📘 Overview

The ANBO GR160-8 is a skid steer root rake built for tractors, wheel loaders and large skid steers up to 160 horsepower, supplied in 5 widths from 70" to 104" on 8-inch tine spacing. 8-inch spacing is the middle spacing in this series — it sheds loose dirt on the lift while still holding logs and heavy brush, which makes the GR160-8 the choice for brush piling, log handling and land clearing where dirt-free loads matter. The GR160-8 uses short root-rake tines in 3/4" outer and 5/8" inner AR400F steel, with a clamshell top grapple that closes over raked material so a load can be back-raked, gripped and carried in one pass. The choice you make on this listing is width — 70", 79", 87", 96", 104" — and it drives attachment weight from 975 lb up to 1,300 lb, so pick the widest unit your loader can still lift full. Every ANBO grapple is built in Colville, Washington from American AR400F steel, ships with a mount fabricated for your own machine plus hoses and couplers, and carries a two-year attachment warranty with three years on the cylinders.

⚙ GR160-8 Key Features

• Rated to 160 horsepower — ANBO sizes each model to the machine, so the GR160-8 is matched to loaders and tractors up to 160 hp rather than sold by width alone.
• 8-inch tine spacing — sheds loose dirt on the lift while still holding logs and heavy brush.
• 3/4" : 5/8" AR400F tines — outer to inner tine thickness on the GR160-8, in steel with a 150,000–180,000 PSI yield strength against 32,000 PSI for A36.
• 58" grapple opening — the jaw span of the GR160-8 when the clamshell is open.
• 3"x 10" hydraulic cylinders — fully welded, rear mounted and rated to 3,000 PSI, with a built-in pressure relief valve on the larger units to protect the machine's hydraulics.
• Clamshell design with a top grapple — the top bar closes over raked material, so the unit rakes, digs, grips and back-rakes without an attachment change.
• Greaseable, accessible pivot points — every pivot takes grease and can be reached without dismantling the rake.
• 2-wire R-16 hoses rated to 5,800 PSI — routed securely, with hose wrap offered to protect the supply lines.
• Two-piece mount, engineered position — most ANBO mounts are two-piece, keeping the center of the rake open for visibility; mount location and angle are set to work on both tractors and skid steers.
• Made in the USA from American steel — designed, fabricated and assembled in Colville, Washington.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the GR160-8

• A 975 lb attachment on a 160 hp machine leaves lift capacity for the load — AR400F is five times stronger than grade 36, so ANBO reaches the required strength without the extra plate thickness that a mild-steel grapple needs. The 70" GR160-8 weighs 975 lb; the weight you do not spend on the attachment is weight you can still pick up.
• 8-inch spacing decides what stays in the load — on the GR160-8 it sheds loose dirt on the lift while still holding logs and heavy brush, which is why this spacing is the one to pick for brush piling, log handling and land clearing where dirt-free loads matter.
• The top grapple lets you back-rake and carry in the same pass — material raked up is clamped and moved without swapping to a bucket, which removes a machine trip per pile.
• Greaseable pivots instead of sealed or welded ones — the wear points on the GR160-8 can be serviced on schedule, which is what decides whether a grapple lasts a season or a decade.
• Three years on the cylinders, one more than on the attachment — ANBO warrants the highest-wear hydraulic component for longer than it warrants the frame.

🔄 GR160-8 Specifications by Width

The GR160-8 spans 70" to 104" and 975 lb to 1,300 lb across 5 part numbers. Every one shares the same 8" tine spacing, the same 58" opening and the same 3"x 10" cylinders.

📋 Choosing Your GR160-8 Width

This listing covers the GR160-8 — tine spacing is fixed at 8" Tines across every part number on the page. The width option is the selection you make at checkout:

• 70" — part number GR160-8-70, 975 lb attachment weight
• 79" — part number GR160-8-79, 1,055 lb attachment weight
• 87" — part number GR160-8-87, 1,135 lb attachment weight
• 96" — part number GR160-8-96, 1,219 lb attachment weight
• 104" — part number GR160-8-104, 1,300 lb attachment weight

A wider GR160-8 covers more ground per pass but adds 325 lb between the narrowest and widest unit. Match the width to what your loader can lift full, not to the widest unit offered.

🔗 What Is the ANBO GR160-8 Used For?

ANBO builds the Grapple Rake line for brush piling, log handling and land clearing where dirt-free loads matter. On the GR160-8 specifically, the jobs it is bought for are:

• Rock removal on construction sites
• Collecting brush, logs and stumps
• Firewood handling
• Root and debris removal
• Farm and construction-site land clearing

The GR160-8 ships complete and ready to run — the grapple, the mount built for your machine, hoses and couplers.

Buyers shop this class of attachment under several names. ANBO grapple and root grapple for tractor both describe what the GR160-8 is — a clamshell rake that grips. If your search started with mini skid steer grapple, tractor root rake or grapple rake for skid steer, the GR160-8 is the 160-horsepower unit in that family.

🚜 Which Machines Fit the ANBO GR160-8?

The ANBO GR160-8 is built to order with a mount made for your specific machine. It is not a fixed-interface attachment: ANBO fabricates the mount to the loader, tractor or skid steer you name when you order, so fitment is confirmed at build time rather than assumed from a standard.

Fitment factor ANBO GR160-8 Machine horsepower Up to 160 hp — this is the primary fitment limit on the GR160-8 Machine types Tractors, wheel loaders and large skid steers up to 160 horsepower Grapple opening 58" — the largest single piece the GR160-8 will close on Mount Custom-built to your machine. Universal skid steer quick attach and John Deere are the common options; ANBO builds most other mounts as well Mount construction Two-piece on most units, which keeps the center of the rake open for visibility. Build-backs reduce lift capacity and are only used where a machine requires one Hydraulics required One double-acting auxiliary hydraulic circuit to open and close the grapple. Cylinders are rated to 3,000 PSI Supplied with Mount, hoses and couplers

Horsepower is the deciding number, not width: ANBO names each model for the machine size it is built for, and running a 160-hp-rated grapple behind a bigger machine is what bends attachments. You do not need to check with us first: the order page asks for your machine make and model, we build the mount to it, and we verify fitment before the unit ships.
