About this product
Overview
This Bradco mini skid steer grapple — the Mini Scrap Grapple — has a solid floor, which is what separates it from the brush grapple: it holds fines and loose material instead of letting them fall through. It comes in 36", 42", 48" and 54" widths at 281 to 329 lbs, with a 29" grapple opening on the 36" model, and mounts on a mini loader quick attach.
Key Features of the Bradco Mini Skid Steer Grapple
- Solid floor — retains loose material and fines rather than sifting them out.
- Hydraulic grapple with guarded cylinder, so the cylinder is protected from the load it is holding.
- 29" grapple opening on the 36" model.
- High strength construction with premium high carbon components.
- Optional bolt-on cutter bar assembly.
- Widths 36", 42", 48" and 54" at 281–388 lbs — a mini loader grapple sized for its carrier.
- A scrap grapple attachment for demolition and yard waste, where a demolition grapple must hold everything it picks up.
- Sold as the Bradco Mini Scrap Grapple — a solid floor grapple, which is the distinction that matters when choosing between the two mini grapples.
- A mini grapple attachment that doubles as a yard waste grapple: leaves and clippings stay in the jaw instead of falling through.
Why Choose This Mini Skid Steer Grapple
- Floor design is the whole choice. A solid floor keeps what you pick up; an open tine floor drops the soil. Neither is better — they are for different material.
- A guarded cylinder is not decoration. The cylinder sits where the load is; unguarded, it is the first thing damaged by a shifting scrap load.
- Width follows the machine, not the pile. On a mini loader a wider grapple reaches past what the machine can safely lift.

Bradco builds three grapples, and they are not duty grades of one another. Each is built for a different kind of material, and the floor or tine design is what decides which.
Grapple What it grabs Floor / tine design Mini Scrap Grapple Scrap, yard waste, demolition debris Solid floor — holds fines as well as bulk Mini Brush Grapple Brush, limbs and branches Open tine — lets soil and fines fall through Root Grapple Rake Rocks, roots and debris Rake tines — sifts soil out as it collectsIf you are handling brush and limbs rather than scrap, the mini brush grapple uses an open tine design that lets soil fall through. For full-size skid steers collecting rock and roots, the root grapple rake sifts soil as it collects.
Which Machines Fit This Mini Skid Steer Grapple?
This grapple mounts on a mini loader quick attach and requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit — the grapple jaw is powered. At 281–388 lbs it is sized for mini loader capacity, so confirm your machine carries the grapple plus the load.

Mini Scrap Grapple Questions, Answered
Solid floor or open tine — which do I need?
Solid floor if you want to keep everything you pick up, including fines: scrap, yard waste, demolition debris. Open tine if you want soil to fall through, which is what the brush grapple is for.
What does the guarded cylinder protect against?
The cylinder sits in the path of the load. Guarding stops a shifting scrap load from striking the rod, which is the most common way a grapple cylinder is damaged.
Will it fit a full-size skid steer?
It is built for mini loaders. For a full-size machine, the root grapple rake is the Bradco option, or the SharkBite grapple which converts pallet forks.
What is the cutter bar assembly for?
It is an optional bolt-on that adds a cutting edge to the lower jaw, useful when the grapple is also used to scrape or cut into a pile.
Is a mini skid steer scrap grapple strong enough for demolition debris?
For mini loader work, yes — it is built with high strength material and premium high carbon components. The limiting factor is what your machine lifts, not the grapple.
