The grapple is impressive, and looks like it will do what I need to do. However it's still winter here in Vermont and I need to fit my JD 4600 with a third function before I will be able to actually give it a try. I appreciate Cody's input, I was originally considering the light version which he felt would be sufficient…Darwin Lewis

Very good customer service. Answered all my questions before sale. Very fast convenient shipping. As for the grapple, used it yesterday for the first time and moved 11 large brush piles to a burn pile in under two hours. The implement is very well made, super solid, easy to use, and I think will be on the front of my…Matt Garrison
Common uses
What Can This Tractor Grapple Be Used For?
John Deere Loader Brush Cleanup
The John Deere 60 Rake Grapple is built for compatible Deere loader setups that need a practical grapple width for brush piles, limbs, loose roots, and property cleanup. The 60 inch size gives good working coverage without moving into the wider 66 inch Deere grapple lane.
Mid-Size Deere Grapple Work
This model is a strong middle-ground choice for John Deere owners who need more grapple capacity than a subcompact setup, but do not want to jump to the wider 66 inch option. It fits well for routine cleanup on farms, rural properties, and wooded areas.
Logs, Limbs, and Loose Debris
Use the John Deere 60 Rake Grapple for moving limbs, small logs, storm debris, brush piles, and loose cleanup material. The rake-style bottom helps gather debris while letting loose dirt fall through during cleanup work.
Field Edge and Fence Line Cleanup
This grapple works well for cleaning field edges, fence rows, trails, and overgrown property lines where brush, limbs, roots, and debris need to be lifted, moved, or piled with a compatible John Deere tractor loader.
Storm Cleanup and Property Maintenance
For storm-damaged limbs, scattered brush, and general rural cleanup, the John Deere 60 Rake Grapple gives Deere tractor owners a useful attachment for grabbing uneven debris and moving it to a pile, burn area, or trailer.
Choosing the Right Deere Grapple Size
Choose this John Deere 60 Rake Grapple when you want a balanced Deere-compatible grapple for everyday clearing and cleanup. If loader capacity is tighter, compare the John Deere 60 Lightweight. If you want more width and your loader can handle it, compare the John Deere 66 Rake Grapple.
