Grapple Rakes

Grapple Rakes

A grapple rake is the attachment that earns its keep the fastest if you handle brush, debris, rocks, or storm cleanup on a regular basis. Farm Suppliez stocks grapple rakes built for compact tractors and skid steers, from sub-compact-friendly models to the heaviest 8-foot ANBO rakes built for serious land-clearing operations.

What's in the catalog

• ANBO grapple rakes — the GR30, GR45, GR60, GR120, GR120HC, GR160, GR160HC, GR200, GR200HC, GR300 and GRSC. Built to order in the US; widths from 4 feet to 8 feet, regular and high-capacity (HC) options
• Stinger Compact Clam Grapple (CCG) — fast, in-stock, well-priced 56" grapple for compact tractors and skid steers
• Top Dog T/S Brush Grapple — heavy-duty brush handling
• EZ Spot UR Rock and Brush Grapple — combo grapple for mixed debris work
• Loflin Fabrication Mini Skid Steer Root Grapple — built specifically for mini skid steer mounts

Which grapple do I actually need?

Grapple rakes come in a few distinct designs and the right one depends on what you're handling:

• Rock and brush grapples (like the EZ Spot UR and the Loflin Rock Bucket Grapple) have a closed-bottom bucket with tines on top — good for mixed debris where you want to scoop and grab in one motion
• Brush grapples (like the Top Dog T/S and ANBO GR-series) have a tine bottom that lets dirt and small debris fall through while holding brush and logs — best for storm cleanup and land clearing where you don't want to move dirt
• Clam grapples have an upper and lower set of tines that close like jaws — best for picking up logs, posts, and irregular materials
• Root grapples are heavier-duty and built for tearing out roots, stumps, and stubborn vegetation

Width matters too. A 60" grapple on a compact tractor is plenty; an 84" grapple is better for utility tractors and full-size skid steers handling larger loads.

ANBO grapples — what to expect

Most ANBO grapples are built to order, with typical lead times of 4–6 weeks. They're heavy, USA-built, and run on cylinder-driven independent tines so they grip uneven loads without dropping material. The HC (high-capacity) versions add taller side plates for more volume per scoop.

Grapple Rake FAQ

What's the difference between a grapple rake and a grapple bucket?

A grapple rake has tines instead of a solid bottom, so material like dirt and small debris falls through while the rake holds onto brush, logs, and larger items. A grapple bucket (or rock bucket grapple) has a solid or near-solid bottom for scooping material as well as grabbing. Use a rake when you don't want to move dirt with the load; use a bucket when you do.

Which grapple should I buy for storm cleanup?

For storm and brush cleanup, a brush grapple with a tine bottom (the ANBO GR series, Top Dog T/S Brush Grapple) is usually the best fit — you can pick up branches, logs, and limbs without scraping up the lawn. If you're also handling rocks and mixed debris, a rock-and-brush combo like the EZ Spot UR is more versatile.

What size grapple do I need?

Match the grapple width to your tractor or skid steer's bucket width. Going wider than your machine doesn't help — you can't scoop wider than the wheels track — and going significantly narrower means more passes. 48"–60" is typical for compact tractors and standard-flow skid steers. 72"–84" is for utility tractors and high-flow skid steers.

What's "built to order" — when will my ANBO ship?

Built-to-order grapples are manufactured after you place your order. Standard lead time on ANBO grapples is 4–6 weeks. You'll get an estimated ship date during the order confirmation; we can also call ANBO and get a current build queue estimate before you order.

What hydraulic flow do these grapples need?

Most grapples on this page run on standard-flow hydraulics (17–24 GPM, 2,500–3,500 PSI), which is what most compact tractors and standard skid steers provide. A few high-capacity models prefer higher flow; the product page lists the spec. If you're not sure what your machine outputs, the operator's manual will say.
