The Catawba 72″ Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple is built for high-horsepower tractors, skid steers, and compatible front-end loader setups that need a wider, heavier grapple for serious land clearing and debris cleanup. With a 72-inch working width, 1/2-inch Hardox® 500 Tuf steel construction, a 44-inch lid opening, and heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, this grapple is made for handling large brush piles, logs, roots, rocks, storm debris, and demanding property cleanup work.

This model is a strong fit for operators who need more width and capacity than the 66″ Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple while still keeping the open-bottom rake design that lets loose dirt and smaller material fall through during cleanup.

Notice: A third function kit or compatible hydraulic circuit is required to operate the grapple lid.

Questions & answers

72 Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple FAQs

What is the 72 Inch Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple used for?
The 72 inch high horsepower rake grapple is used for wider land clearing, brush pile handling, rock gathering, root cleanup, storm debris, and heavy-duty material handling.
How is the 72 inch rake grapple different from the 66 inch model?
The 72 inch model is focused on wider coverage and open-area cleanup, while the 66 inch model is better for operators who want similar strength in a narrower working width.
Is the 72 inch grapple good for large cleanup jobs?
Yes. The wider frame makes it a strong fit for open areas, larger brush piles, and jobs where covering more width per pass matters.
Does this grapple need hydraulic connections?
Yes. The grapple lid requires a third function kit or compatible hydraulic circuit to open and close.
Who should choose the 72 inch high horsepower grapple?
Choose the 72 inch model when you have the machine size, hydraulic setup, and job type for a wider high horsepower grapple.
What machines can use the 72″ Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple?
The 72″ Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple is built for high-horsepower tractors, skid steers, and compatible front-end loader setups with the proper quick attach system and loader capacity. Always verify your machine’s lift capacity, hydraulic setup, and attachment mount before ordering.
Is the 72″ Extreme Rake Grapple only for skid steers?
No. While it works well on properly matched skid steers, this grapple can also be used with compatible high-horsepower tractor loader setups when equipped with the correct attachment mount. Available hookup options may include skid steer quick attach, John Deere quick attach, or Euro/Global style mounting depending on the product configuration.
Should I choose the 66″ or 72″ Extreme High Horsepower Rake Grapple?
Choose the 72″ model when you need more working width for larger brush piles, open-area cleanup, storm debris, logs, roots, and heavier land clearing work. The 66″ model is a better choice when you want a slightly narrower grapple for tighter areas or a machine with less loader capacity.
Does this grapple require a third function valve kit?
Yes. A third function valve kit or another compatible hydraulic control setup is required to open and close the grapple lid. The loader must have the proper hydraulic control and coupler setup before the grapple can be operated.
Is the 72″ Extreme Rake Grapple too heavy for smaller tractors?
This grapple is designed for larger, properly matched machines. Because it has a heavier 72-inch build, smaller tractors or lower-capacity loaders may not be a good fit. Check your loader lift capacity, machine weight, hydraulic capability, and front-end attachment rating before choosing this model.
