About this product
📘 Overview
The ANBO GR85-8 is a grapple rake built for tractors, skid steers and compact track loaders up to 85 horsepower, supplied in 5 widths from 60" to 94" on 8-inch tine spacing. 8-inch spacing is the middle spacing — it sheds loose dirt on the lift while still holding logs and heavy brush, which suits the GR85-8 to brush piling, log handling and land clearing where dirt-free loads matter. The GR85-8 uses short tines with a clamshell grapple in 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 — 60", 69", 77", 86", 94" — 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.
⚙ GR85-8 Key Features
- Rated to 85 horsepower — ANBO sizes each model to the machine, so the GR85-8 is matched to loaders and tractors up to 85 hp rather than sold by width alone.
- 8-inch tine spacing — sheds loose dirt on the lift while still holding logs and heavy brush.
- AR400F tine steel — 150,000–180,000 PSI yield strength against 32,000 PSI for A36.
- 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 GR85-8
- AR400F is five times stronger than grade 36 steel — ANBO reaches the required strength without the extra plate thickness a mild-steel grapple needs, so the GR85-8 does not spend your 85 hp machine's lift rating on itself.
- 8-inch spacing decides what stays in the load — on the GR85-8 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 GR85-8 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.

This listing covers the GR85-8 — tine spacing is fixed at 8" Tines across every part number on the page. The width option is the selection you make at checkout:
- 60" — part number GR85-8-60
- 69" — part number GR85-8-69
- 77" — part number GR85-8-77
- 86" — part number GR85-8-86
- 94" — part number GR85-8-94
A wider GR85-8 covers more ground per pass and weighs more. Match the width to what your loader can lift full, not to the widest unit offered.
🔗 What Is the ANBO GR85-8 Used For?
ANBO builds the SitePro Grapple Rake line for brush piling, log handling and land clearing where dirt-free loads matter. On the GR85-8 specifically, the jobs it is bought for are:
- Land clearing and site prep
- Brush and log handling
- Rock removal
- Root pulling
- Storm debris cleanup
The GR85-8 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. Clamshell grapple and skid steer grapple rake both describe what the GR85-8 is — a clamshell rake that grips. If your search started with compact tractor grapple, root rake for skid steer or heavy duty root grapple, the GR85-8 is the 85-horsepower unit in that family.
🚜 Which Machines Fit the ANBO GR85-8?
The ANBO GR85-8 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 GR85-8 Machine horsepower Up to 85 hp — this is the primary fitment limit on the GR85-8 Machine types Tractors, skid steers and compact track loaders up to 85 horsepower 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 couplersHorsepower is the deciding number, not width: ANBO names each model for the machine size it is built for, and running an 85-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.
❓ ANBO GR85-8 Questions, Answered
What size machine does the ANBO GR85-8 fit?
The ANBO GR85-8 is rated for tractors, skid steers and compact track loaders up to 85 horsepower. ANBO names each model for the machine size it is built for, so an 85-hp rating is a ceiling rather than a suggestion: putting a larger machine behind the GR85-8 is the most common way a grapple gets bent.
Which width of the GR85-8 should I order?
The GR85-8 comes in 5 widths from 60" to 94". A wider unit clears more ground per pass and weighs more, so the limit is what your loader can still lift once the grapple is full.
Why does the GR85-8 use 8-inch tine spacing?
8-inch spacing is the middle spacing. On the GR85-8 it sheds loose dirt on the lift while still holding logs and heavy brush. That is what makes this the right unit for brush piling, log handling and land clearing where dirt-free loads matter — spacing decides what stays in the load and what falls back on the ground.
What hydraulics does the ANBO GR85-8 need?
The GR85-8 needs one double-acting auxiliary hydraulic circuit to open and close the clamshell. The cylinders are fully welded, rear mounted and rated to 3,000 PSI, and the hoses are 2-wire R-16 rated to 5,800 PSI. The larger ANBO units include a built-in pressure relief valve to protect your machine's hydraulic system.
Does the GR85-8 come with a mount for my machine?
Yes. ANBO builds the mount for the specific machine you name at order time and the GR85-8 ships complete with mount, hoses and couplers. Most ANBO mounts are two-piece, which keeps the center of the rake open so you can see the load. Tell us what you are running when you order and the mount is built to it.
What is AR400F steel, and why does ANBO use it?
AR400F is an abrasion-resistant alloy with a yield strength of 150,000–180,000 PSI against 32,000 PSI for A36 mild steel — roughly five times stronger. The F is for formability: it is less brittle than standard AR400, so it bends rather than cracking under shock load. Because the steel is stronger, the GR85-8 does not need the extra plate thickness a mild-steel grapple uses, and the weight saved stays available as lift capacity.
What warranty comes with the ANBO GR85-8?
ANBO provides a two-year manufacturer defect warranty on the attachment from the date of delivery to the original purchaser, and three years on the cylinders. The warranty does not cover use beyond rated capacity, misuse, unauthorized modification, or normal wear on ground-engaging tines. For a warranty question on a GR85-8 bought from us, email support@eskidsteer.com.
What servicing does the GR85-8 need?
Grease every pivot point on schedule — ANBO makes all pivots greaseable and accessible on the GR85-8 so this can be done without dismantling the rake. Check the hose routing and the hose wrap for abrasion, and inspect the tines for wear. Tines are ground-engaging parts and wear is not a warranty item.
Should I get the 8" GR85 or a wider tine spacing?
eskidsteer.com stocks the GR85 in 8" as well as 6". The 8" GR85-8 sheds loose dirt on the lift while still holding logs and heavy brush. A wider spacing sheds more soil and fines, which is what you want when you are moving timber and brush rather than picking rock. Spacing does not change the machine rating — every GR85 is built for machines up to 85 horsepower.
Is the 60" GR85-8 the same unit as the wider sizes?
The 60" GR85-8-60 is built to the same GR85-8 specification — 8" tine spacing, AR400F tines and the same 85-horsepower machine rating. It sits below the widths ANBO currently shows on its published size chart. You can order it here as normal — give us your machine make and model on the order page and we will confirm this width with ANBO before the unit is built.
Is the GR85-8 SitePro still a current ANBO model?
The SitePro GR85-8 is an established ANBO grapple rake in the 85-horsepower class, built to the same AR400F construction, clamshell design and two-year warranty as the rest of the range. You can order any GR85-8 width here as normal. If you want the specification sheet for a particular width as well, email support@eskidsteer.com and we will get it from the factory.
Is clamshell grapple the same thing as the GR85-8 grapple rake?
Clamshell grapple and skid steer grapple rake are two names for the class of attachment the GR85-8 belongs to — a loader-mounted clamshell that rakes and grips. ANBO calls the GR85-8 a grapple rake because the lower tines rake and dig while the top grapple closes over the load. If your search started with compact tractor grapple or root rake for skid steer, the GR85-8 is the 85-horsepower unit in that family.
How is the ANBO GR85-8 shipped and how much is freight?
The GR85-8 ships by LTL freight. Shipping is calculated at checkout — add the width you want to your cart, enter your delivery address, and the shipping charge is shown before you complete the order. Lift gate service is available for residential deliveries and can be selected at checkout.
How do I order the ANBO GR85-8?
Add the GR85-8 width you need to your cart and check out online — that is the whole process. The order page asks for your machine make and model; we build the mount to that machine and verify fitment before it ships, so there is no need to call ahead or wait on a quote. If you would rather ask something first, use the chat button on any eskidsteer.com page or email support@eskidsteer.com.
