The Catawba 66 Rake Grapple is built for larger compact tractors and utility tractors that need more working width than a 55 or 60 inch grapple. Its 66-inch width gives operators more coverage for brush piles, roots, logs, rocks, limbs, and land-clearing debris while staying in the standard tractor rake grapple lane.
Built from 3/8-inch Hardox® 500 Tuf steel with 1/4-inch tubing, this grapple delivers a strong strength-to-weight ratio for demanding property cleanup and land maintenance work. The 37-inch jaw opening, three hinge point design, and mechanical stop help clamp material securely, back drag loose debris, and protect the hydraulic cylinders during use.
Notice: A third function kit or compatible hydraulic control option is required to operate the grapple lid.

I reviewed several rake grapples before deciding on the Catawba brand. After watching several review videos from other brands explaining how they all worked up to certain point and then broke or bent, I decided on this model as it seemed lighter and stronger than everything else out there. I am so glad I did my homework…Brian Kuhl

I purchased the grapple about a month ago and the entire experience was perfect. The grapple was delivered to the shipper's warehouse faster than I expected and I was able to pick it up with just my truck. Communication during the ordering/purchasing process was also excellent. I have used the grapple to clean up the debris…Craig Brogan

So far this 66in heavy duty grapple is preforming well. There is a bit of a learning curve for its use. Seems to be built out of quality materials and fittings. I would have liked the attachment point to have a bit of an angle to it for leverage and healing back (similar to most ssqa buckets, forkes and spears). Mine was beat up in shipping with the pallet a total los, hut the hat made it. Everything still functions as intended. Overall very happy with it. The customer service was also excellent.Russ

Received my 66 inch root grapple within 3 days of placing order. It is well built. Haven't used it enough yet but it pulled two 4 inch trees out by roots. Overall I think this will be a great investment! Very happy with both the product and the customer service I recieved.Bert Gibson

I purchased a grapple and and I couldn’t be happier with it. Not too mention the excellent customer service that I received. I received prompt responses to my emails and phone calls. They worked with me on the shipping, I can’t say enough good about this company and their products. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an implement.Tony Newton
Common uses
What Can This Tractor Grapple Be Used For?

Logs, Roots, and Heavy Debris Handling
- Grab and carry logs, loose roots, limbs, and bulky cleanup debris from wooded lots, farms, trails, and rural properties.
