Skid Steer Rock-Root Rake Grapple Bucket | Narrow 6" Opening | Skeleton Loader | Stinger Attachments

Video Overview

Overview

When you're clearing brush, moving logs, or cleaning up debris around your property, you need an attachment that can grab, lift, and load without slowing you down. The Skid Steer Root & Rock Grapple from Stinger Attachments delivers exactly that. Designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty rock grapples and wide-opening root grapples, this attachment brings together the best of both worlds in a lighter, more versatile package that's perfect for residential jobs, hobby farms, and lighter commercial work.

What sets this grapple apart is its smart design. With a 6-inch opening between the tines, it's narrower than traditional root grapples, which means less weight on your machine without sacrificing strength or capability. That makes it ideal for operators running smaller skid steers or compact tractors who still need serious grabbing power. The half-inch serrated cutting edge borrowed from Stinger's rock grapple line adds aggression and bite, letting you dig into piles, break apart tangled brush, and grip irregular loads with confidence.

The dual independent grapples open a full 48 inches, giving you plenty of room to wrap around stumps, logs, root balls, and piles of storm debris. Each grapple operates on its own 2500 psi cylinder, so you get independent control and a secure grip every time. Whether you're loading a trailer, stacking firewood, or clearing fence lines, that wide opening and strong clamping force mean fewer trips and faster work.

Built from Grade 50 steel throughout, this grapple is designed to handle years of hard use. The bucket itself uses 3/8-inch Grade 50 material for the tines, reinforced with double pipe supports running between each tine for added rigidity and impact resistance. The top is framed with 4x4-inch tubing and the bottom with 3x3-inch tubing, both quarter-inch thick, creating a solid structure that won't flex or bend under load. The half-inch serrated cutting edge is welded across the front, giving you a clean, aggressive bite whether you're scraping, digging, or cutting into compacted material.

Forge Claw is proud to distribute Stinger Attachments because they build equipment the right way. Every weld, every tube, every cylinder is chosen with the end user in mind. This isn't an attachment that'll give out after a season or two. It's built to last, and it's built right here in the USA with materials and craftsmanship you can count on.

One of the biggest advantages of the RRG Series is its versatility. It's light enough for compact machines but strong enough for serious work. If you're a landowner managing a few acres, a landscaper tackling brush removal jobs, or a contractor cleaning up job sites, this grapple handles it all. You can scoop gravel, grab logs, move rocks, clear storm debris, and load mulch without switching attachments. That kind of flexibility saves time and makes your machine more valuable.

The grapple comes standard with hydraulic hoses and half-inch flat-face couplers, so you're ready to hook up and go as soon as it arrives. Forge Claw ships this attachment fast nationwide, and it arrives ready to work. The universal skid steer mount plate fits most machines on the market, and if you're running something unique, Stinger offers custom mounting options. Just give us a call and we'll make sure it fits your setup.

Available in four widths—60, 66, 72, and 78 inches—you can match the grapple to your machine size and the type of work you do most. The 60-inch model weighs in at 726 pounds, while the 78-inch tops out at 820 pounds. That range gives you options whether you're running a small frame skid steer or a full-size loader. All four sizes share the same rugged construction, proven grapple design, and serrated cutting edge, so you're getting the same quality and performance no matter which width you choose.

Greaseable pivot points keep the grapples moving smoothly and extend the life of your cylinders and pins. A little maintenance goes a long way, and Stinger makes it easy to keep this attachment running like new for years. The thoughtful engineering shows in the details—reinforced stress points, quality welds, and a design that's built to be serviced in the field, not thrown away when something wears out.

If you've been using a standard bucket to move brush or debris, you already know how much time you waste chasing loose material and making multiple trips. A grapple changes that. You grab the load, clamp it tight, and move it where it needs to go. No spillage, no chasing, no frustration. The RRG gives you that control in a package that won't overload smaller machines or break the bank.

Benefits

Time is money on any job site, and the RRG Series grapple saves you plenty of both. Instead of making multiple trips with a standard bucket, chasing loose material and re-stacking loads, you grab everything in one pass and move it where it needs to go. That means fewer hours spent on cleanup, land clearing, and debris removal, and more time moving on to the next job or project. For contractors billing by the hour or landowners managing their own property, that efficiency adds up fast.

The lighter weight of this grapple compared to full-size root grapples means you can run it on smaller machines without overloading your skid steer or compact tractor. That opens up capability you might not have had before, letting you tackle jobs that used to require renting a larger machine or calling in help. The return on investment comes quickly when one attachment can handle brush removal, log moving, gravel work, and general cleanup without switching tools or machines.

Durability is where this grapple really shines. Grade 50 steel throughout, double pipe reinforcement, and a serrated cutting edge built to last mean you're not replacing bent tines, cracked welds, or worn-out cylinders after a few months of use. Stinger Attachments builds this grapple to handle years of hard work, and that long-term reliability means lower total cost of ownership. You buy it once, maintain it properly, and it keeps working season after season.

Productivity improvements show up in ways you might not expect. When you can grab a pile of brush, lift it high, and shake out the dirt before loading it, you're not hauling unnecessary weight or making a mess. When you can clamp down on a log and carry it across uneven ground without it rolling off, you're working safer and faster. The independent grapples let you adjust your grip on irregular loads, giving you control that a fixed bucket or fork simply can't match.

For operators who do a variety of work, the versatility of the RRG Series means one attachment covers dozens of tasks. You're not buying a specialized tool that only does one thing. You're adding a true multi-purpose attachment that earns its keep every time you hook it up. Whether you're clearing fence lines, loading firewood, moving rocks, cleaning up storm damage, or prepping a site for construction, this grapple handles it all with the same confidence and capability.

The real-world value becomes obvious the first time you use it. Jobs that used to take all day get done by lunch. Tasks that required extra help become one-person operations. Equipment that used to sit idle because it couldn't handle certain jobs suddenly becomes your most-used attachment. That's the kind of value that goes beyond the price tag and shows up in your bottom line, your schedule, and your ability to take on more work.

Additional Information

This grapple is ideal for landowners managing residential acreage, hobby farmers maintaining pastures and woodlots, landscaping professionals handling brush removal and site cleanup, and contractors working on smaller-scale land clearing and demolition projects. It's particularly well-suited for operators running compact equipment who need serious capability without the weight and cost of full-size attachments. Tree service professionals, municipalities managing parks and trails, and rental yards looking for versatile, durable equipment will all find value in the RRG Series.

The universal skid steer mount plate ensures compatibility with most machines on the market, and the hydraulic system works with standard auxiliary hydraulic circuits. If you're running a compact tractor with a loader, Stinger offers custom mounting options to fit your setup. The included hydraulic hoses and flat-face couplers mean you can hook up and start working as soon as the grapple arrives. Just connect your hydraulics, check your flow, and you're ready to go.

Operating this grapple is straightforward, but a few best practices will keep it running smoothly and extend its life. Always grease the pivot points regularly, especially if you're working in dusty or dirty conditions. When grabbing irregular loads, use the independent grapples to your advantage—clamp one side first, adjust your position, then close the second grapple for a secure grip. Avoid dragging the grapple with the arms closed, as this puts unnecessary stress on the cylinders and pivot points. Let the bucket and cutting edge do the work when scraping or digging.

Maintenance is simple and straightforward. Keep the pivot points greased, check hydraulic hoses for wear or damage, and inspect welds and structural components periodically for cracks or stress. The serrated cutting edge will wear over time with heavy use, but the half-inch thickness gives you plenty of material to work with before replacement is needed. Store the grapple under cover when possible to protect the hydraulic cylinders from the elements, and bleed the hydraulic lines if the attachment will sit unused for extended periods.
