Blue Diamond Attachments has launched the new HDX series root grapple and bucket grapple for land clearing, landscaping, debris removal and storm cleanup.

The grapples are best suited for midsize skid steers, compact track loaders and tractors up to 75 horsepower or 3,000 pounds of lift capacity.

The new series fits between the company’s Heavy Duty (HD) and Severe Duty grapples. Both the root grapple and bucket grapple are 72 inches wide and feature an opening that is 32 inches wide and 37 inches deep, so operators can grab bulkier items in one load. They also stabilize and secure uneven or awkward material with their independent top clamps and commercial-grade fully welded hydraulic cylinders that deliver high clamping force, the company says.

“The updated and heavier construction of the new series also means they can handle rugged use on midsized machines, making them a cost-effective long-term investment.”
