29" Log Grapple Attachment Reviews

4.2 Rating 36 Reviews

The 29" Log Grapple Attachment is ideal for land clearing and logging operations where time and money are crucial. The grapple is compatible with tractors such as Kubota, New Holland, Ford 8n, 9n, and Kioti equipped with the SSQA universal skid steer style quick connect. With the Log Grapple, you can efficiently clear and move fallen and cut-down logs. With the impressive 42" opening height of the jaws and the length to the front of the tines being 33", you will quickly move more significant amounts of logs, saving you multiple trips. Smaller logs are not a problem either, as the jaws can close past each other to a narrow gap of 6". With a 3,000 PSI hydraulic cylinder, you can safely secure your logs in transit. This is the ideal attachment for any logging operation.

“The log grapple works great on our Bobcat T750. A stand-off for the hydraulic lines would be good. The hoses can get caught as the thumb is being worked. Other than that, it has worked very well and picked up any log that we have lifted.”

“Works great, could use a smaller opening on lower frame to assist in p/u large round of firewood..”

“It looks well made. Just need to install the plates, easy. Have not used it yet, but what I can see looks good for what I want to do.”

“Before I begin with my review a word of warning! This grapple is back heavy and can tip over backwards on you specially when attaching the mounting plates. Be very careful! Shipping was fast! One day out from what it was supposed to be but where I live that was amazingly fast. Good job everybody! Attaching the mounting plates was straight forward but watch out for it tipping over backwards on you! Fit up to my John Deere 318D skid steer was perfect! The hydraulic hoses are routed on the right side and my connections on the skid steer are on the left but a few wraps of duct tape fixed that for now. There are a few shear points with the pivot arm so check and clear these areas out before you cut a line. So now that it is on the skid steer I will need to take it off eventually. Not real sure just how to do that yet but if I stick it under a log and close the grapple it should be good to remove so it does not tip over backwards, easy enough. The Titan site video shows it being used with a front loader tractor and stills with a skid steer but the skid steer is problematic for the operator. Getting in and out of the skid steer cab on any skid steer has a potential for injury to the operator due to uneven and slippery surfaces. My cure is I will mount a step on the right side with a grippy surface. The left is fine because of the hydraulic lines, don’t want to be climbing over those anyway. The grapple itself closes with authority but not uncontrollable and has some serious grip to it. My John Deere puts out about 26/27 gallons a minute through the auxiliary hydraulics so if your machine puts out a higher volume your results may differ, on my machine it works great but be judicious with the button until you get use to it. It grabs a 20 foot x 16 inch log like my dog grabs a bone so be careful of anyone or anything close by to avoid injury or damage. I got this 29 inch grapple to help me buck my firewood and it will be a huge improvement over my standard forks. With forks balance is key and it is very possible to loose the load from tipping on side or another specially when cutting chunks off one end or the other, with this grapple that problem is eliminated. In my situation I am doing this solo so safety and process are the key factors for me getting this grapple. With the things I pointed out, the tipping over backward issue and a step, which are easily solved, I highly recommend this log grapple. Getting the work off the ground so you don’t hit dirt with your chain when bucking and getting the work elevated a little to help your back out are huge advantages.”

“Log Grapple works as expected and is a tremendous value. Received with a damaged hydraulic line and promptly received a replacement.”

“The main cylinder is mounted with little clearance for the hydraulic lines. The line connect with metric banjo fittings that are easily damaged and next to impossible to find replacements for. The lines are also short.”
