Click Here to View Reviews I'm Loving the grapple, however I would make one suggestion. As this grapple is made for subcompact tractors with limited lift height, I would remove the angled protrusion at the bottom rear of each side, under the Catawba sticker that may me there so the grapple can stand up. It is really not necessary as…

Click Here to View Reviews Reasons it’s not a 5 star. Clips on lid pivot pins get snagged by limbs and come out. I swapped them out for cotter pins and haven’t had any further issue.

Rake Grapple FAQs
What is a rake grapple used for?
A rake grapple is used for grabbing, lifting, and moving brush, roots, limbs, logs, rocks, storm debris, and other loose material. For most compact tractor owners, the 55 Rake Grapple and 60 Inch Tractor Rake Grapple are strong all-around options for land clearing and property cleanup.
What size rake grapple do I need for my tractor?
The right size depends on your tractor, loader lift capacity, and the type of work you plan to do. Smaller machines usually benefit from a lighter attachment like the Subcompact 54 Rake Grapple or 48 Single Lid Root Grapple. Larger compact and utility tractors may be better matched with the 66 Rake Grapple.
Is a single lid or dual lid rake grapple better?
A single lid rake grapple is simple, strong, and works well for general brush and debris cleanup. A dual lid grapple can clamp uneven loads more effectively because each lid can close independently over different parts of the material. For irregular brush piles, logs, and uneven debris, the Dual Lid Root Grapple may be the better fit.
Do I need a third function valve kit to run a rake grapple?
Most tractor rake grapple setups require a third function valve kit or another hydraulic control option to open and close the grapple lid. Before buying a grapple, make sure your tractor has the hydraulic setup needed to operate it. You can compare hydraulic control options in the Third Function Valve Kits category.
What is the best rake grapple for high-horsepower tractors?
High-horsepower tractors need a heavier grapple built for more demanding clearing work. The 66 Inch Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple and 72 Inch Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple are better suited for larger tractors, heavier debris, and more aggressive land-clearing jobs.
What is the difference between a tractor rake grapple and a skid steer root grapple?
Tractor rake grapples are usually selected around tractor loader capacity, attachment weight, and hookup style. Skid steer root grapples are typically built for more aggressive work because skid steers often have stronger loader and hydraulic capability. For skid steer clearing work, see the Extreme Duty Skid Steer Root Grapple or browse the full Skid Steer Attachments category.
Are John Deere compatible rake grapples available?
Yes. Catawba offers John Deere compatible rake grapple options for buyers who need the correct loader hookup. Options include the John Deere 60 Rake Grapple, John Deere 66 Rake Grapple, and John Deere Subcompact 54 Rake Grapple.
Can a rake grapple remove stumps?
A rake grapple can help move loose roots, brush, and debris after clearing, but it is not a dedicated stump removal tool. Embedded stumps can put heavy stress on a tractor loader and attachment. For general clearing and cleanup, start with the main Rake Grapples lineup and choose a model based on machine size and job demands.
