Heavy-Duty Skid Steer Root Grapple for Land Clearing and Cleanup

If you’re managing land, clearing brush, or reclaiming pastures, the Loflin Fabrication Vertical Root Grapple is the powerhouse attachment your skid steer’s been missing. Built for serious work, this skid steer root grapple combines brute strength, precision handling, and smart engineering to make tough jobs fast, safe, and efficient.

Unlike a standard bucket that just pushes or drags, this grapple grabs, lifts, and sorts debris with real control. Its vertical-tine design allows dirt and small particles to sift through, leaving only what you actually want to remove — roots, stumps, logs, and brush. That means cleaner loads, less wasted time, and fewer trips to dump or sort material.

Each tine is forged from 1½-inch-thick high-grade steel, supported by heavy-duty 2" × 10" hydraulic cylinders, and connected with oversized 1¼″ hinge pins. The result? A grapple that bites hard, stays stable, and endures years of punishing use in the field.

Every detail of this Loflin root grapple is designed for reliability and safety. Cylinders and hoses are fully protected, grease fittings make maintenance effortless, and the reinforced quick-attach mount ensures a rock-solid connection to your skid steer or compact loader. Whether you’re clearing fence lines, hauling timber, or preparing ground for new planting, this attachment gets it done faster and with less wear on your machine.

Farmers, ranchers, landscapers, and construction crews all rely on Loflin Fabrication for attachments that hold up to the toughest jobs. The Vertical Root Grapple is a prime example — American-built, thoughtfully engineered, and purpose-designed for high performance.

If you’ve been fighting brush piles, roots, and heavy debris with the wrong tool, this grapple changes everything. One attachment. Endless applications. Real results.
