Skid Steer Firewood Grapple - Top Dog Attachments

📘 Overview

The Top Dog skid steer firewood grapple is the firewood bucket with a grapple arm fitted, which changes what it can pick up rather than just how much it holds. The tined floor on 3-7/8" spacing still lets bark, dirt and rock fall through, but the grapple lets you grip loose rounds and awkward logs that would roll straight back out of an open bucket. Five widths run 62" to 90" at 37" overall height with 41" inside depth and a 49" open tine-to-tine height, on A50 steel tines.

As a skid steer grapple bucket specialised for wood, this sits between two Top Dog products. The plain firewood bucket costs less and needs no hydraulics but cannot grip; a general grapple bucket carries loose material but has a solid floor that holds the dirt you were trying to shed. Buyers searching grapple bucket for skid steer work in a wood yard usually want this tined version. As a log grapple it handles rounds; as a skid steer firewood attachment it also clears slash after cutting.

⚙ Key Features of the Top Dog Attachments Firewood Grapple

• Grapple arm over a tined floor — the combination is the point — screen out dirt like a firewood bucket, grip loose rounds like a grapple.
• 3-7/8" tine spacing — wide enough for loose bark, dirt and rock to drop through during the scoop.
• 49" open tine-to-tine height — opens wide enough to take a substantial armful of rounds or slash.
• 41" inside depth — a deep floor so the load sits back against the bucket in transit.
• A50 steel tines — the tines take the load when you drive into a stacked pile.
• Five widths, 62" to 90" — 745 lbs to 1,025 lbs empty across common machine capacities.
• Weld-on grapple available separately — part 9010000 adds a grapple to an existing Top Dog firewood bucket.

🔑 Why Choose the Firewood Grapple?

• Picks up what a bucket cannot hold — loose rounds and irregular logs roll out of an open firewood bucket — the grapple clamps them in place.
• Still sheds the dirt — the 3-7/8" tined floor means you are hauling firewood, not the yard it was stacked on.
• Fewer trips on awkward material — gripping means you can take a full, tall load rather than only what will sit safely in an open bucket.
• Upgrade path from a plain bucket — the weld-on grapple (9010000) fits an existing Top Dog firewood bucket if you already own one.

🔗 What Is a Firewood Grapple Used For?

• Loading split firewood and rounds in bulk
• Gripping loose logs that roll out of a bucket
• Clearing slash and brush after cutting
• Log yard and processor cleanup
• Any firewood handling where material is irregular

Owners of the plain Top Dog firewood bucket can add the weld-on grapple (part 9010000) rather than replacing the attachment.

🚜 Which Machines Fit the Firewood Grapple?

Available for two machine classes — the Firewood Grapple uses a single universal quick attach plate that serves both:

Skid steers and compact track loaders — fits machines with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) mount, including:

Compact tractor front-end loaders — fits tractor loaders fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the matching Top Dog adapter plate (Euro 90133219, Euro 2-piece 90133229, JD flat 9033199, JD offset 90133228).

Hydraulic requirement: The grapple arm is hydraulically operated and requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit on the host machine.

Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration before ordering.
