Derette Root Rake Grapple Attachment for Mini Skid Steer Loader

The Derette Root Rake Grapple is a professional-grade hydraulic attachment engineered to tackle the most demanding land clearing and site preparation projects. Designed specifically for mini skid steer loaders, this heavy-duty grapple combines the aggressive soil-penetrating capabilities of a root rake with the versatile gripping power of a hydraulic grapple. Whether you are clearing thick brush, managing orchard debris, or performing post-storm cleanup, this attachment is built to maximize your machine's productivity in confined residential and commercial spaces.

Advanced Engineering for Superior Performance

The Derette Root Rake Grapple features high-tensile steel tines designed to rip through the ground, pulling up stubborn roots and vines while leaving valuable topsoil behind. The skeleton-style bottom allows dirt, sand, and fine debris to sift through the tines, ensuring you only transport the material that needs to be moved. This design not only lightens the load on your mini loader but also significantly reduces disposal costs by keeping the soil on-site.

The dual independent hydraulic grapples are the core of this attachment's versatility. These claw-like arms operate independently, allowing the grapple to securely "wrap" around uneven or awkward loads—such as large stumps, tangled logs, or jagged boulders. This independent movement ensures a balanced grip on every load, preventing material from slipping during transport.

Versatile Applications in Land & Site Management

• Precision Land Clearing: Effortlessly rake through overgrown vegetation and pull up root systems to prepare virgin land for construction or gardening.

• Brush and Debris Removal: Quickly gather and pile loose brush, saplings, and storm-damaged limbs. The open-tine design ensures you don't pick up unnecessary weight from the ground.

• Orchard and Vineyard Maintenance: Ideal for removing old vines, pruning piles, and fallen trees in narrow rows where larger equipment cannot maneuver.

• Demolition and Scrap Handling: Use the aggressive grapple claws to pick up and sort demolition debris, timber, and scrap metal with ease.

• Stone and Boulder Management: Securely grip and move heavy stones for hardscaping or rock wall construction without the risk of the load shifting.
