One Attachment. Endless Possibilities.
The ES-HD Extreme Root Rake Grapple combines the digging ability of a root rake with the holding power of a heavy-duty grapple.
Use it to:
- Pull roots and small stumps
- Clear brush and overgrowth
- Carry logs and tree limbs
- Remove storm debris
- Clean fence rows
- Separate rocks and roots from soil
- Load construction and demolition debris
- Maintain farms, ranches, and large properties
The open rake design allows loose soil to fall through the tines while retaining larger material. This reduces the amount of dirt carried away and makes cleanup faster and more efficient.

Built for Demanding Work
At approximately 1,250 pounds, this is not a light-duty grapple. It is designed for larger skid steers and compact track loaders where strength, durability, and holding power matter.
The reinforced frame and heavy steel tines are built to handle demanding land-clearing applications without the excessive flex commonly found in lighter attachments.
Heavy-Duty Lower Tines
The lower rake features 1-1/2" thick serrated steel tines that dig into compacted soil, roots, and debris. Serrated edges help grip material while the open design allows dirt to sift through.
Reinforced Upper Grapples
The upper grapple tines are constructed from 3/4" steel for dependable clamping strength when handling logs, brush, roots, and irregular debris.
Wide 54" Grapple Opening
The generous 54-inch opening provides the capacity needed to grab large brush piles, logs, tree limbs, and bulky material.

Dual Independent Grapple Arms
Two independently operating grapple arms provide better control over uneven loads.
Instead of forcing both sides to close at the same height, each grapple arm adjusts to the material beneath it. This allows the attachment to securely hold irregular loads such as:
- A single large log
- Uneven brush piles
- Multiple tree limbs
- Roots and stumps
- Rocks and demolition debris
Independent grapples provide improved load retention and make the attachment more versatile in real-world working conditions.

Powerful Hydraulic System
The ES-HD Extreme Root Rake Grapple is equipped with two 2" x 10" hydraulic cylinders for strong, responsive clamping power.
Premium Parker hydraulic hoses and included 1/2" flat-face couplers provide a dependable connection to most skid steer auxiliary hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic Features
- Two independent hydraulic cylinders
- Parker hydraulic hoses
- 1/2" flat-face couplers included
- Protected hose routing
- Ready to connect and work

American-Made Heavy-Duty Construction
This attachment is manufactured in the USA using heavy-duty steel and is designed for professional use.
The industrial powder-coated finish helps protect the steel from moisture, weather, and everyday jobsite wear. With proper use and maintenance, the ES-HD Extreme Root Rake Grapple is built to deliver years of dependable service.

Ideal Applications
The Grizzly ES-HD Extreme Root Rake Grapple is an excellent choice for:
Land Clearing
Remove brush, roots, saplings, and unwanted vegetation while leaving much of the usable soil behind.
Forestry and Tree Service
Carry logs, branches, brush piles, and storm-damaged trees with a secure grip.
Farm and Ranch Work
Clean fence rows, remove overgrowth, move logs, clear pastures, and maintain large properties.
Construction Cleanup
Handle bulky debris, roots, rocks, scrap material, and other difficult-to-grab loads.
Storm Cleanup
Quickly collect and move fallen branches, damaged trees, brush, and scattered debris.

Universal Skid Steer Compatibility
The ES-HD Extreme Root Rake Grapple uses the industry-standard Universal Quick Attach mounting system.
It is compatible with most skid steers and compact track loaders equipped with a universal mounting plate and standard auxiliary hydraulics.
This attachment is recommended for machines rated up to 110 horsepower.
Because the attachment weighs approximately 1,250 pounds, verify that your machine has sufficient lifting capacity for the attachment and the material you intend to carry.
