General Description
The Bigtoolrack Extreme Granite Grapple is a heavy-duty brush grapple that is designed to be compatible with tractors ranging from 19hp to 55hp depending on the grapple size. This grapple versatile design can make clearing brush, logs, roots, and much more, an easy and quick process. During the designing and testing process, we spent many hours to ensure that this product is durable enough and easily functional for the user. Each tooth on the bottom is reinforced to eliminate the bar going across, this allows dirt to pass through rather than build up in the teeth. This feature also makes digging out small roots much easier due to how durable the teeth are. Also, with this low- profile grapple, maneuvering through wooded areas and tight spaces is much easier.
