The grapple allows the operator the versatility of lifting or compacting without changing attachments. With customized heavy duty grapple cylinder guards, this grapple ensures durability and long working hours. It has a fully continuous rotation option that allows operators to not worry about a 180 degree rotation restriction. With proper operation, and maintenance, this attachment is known to last up to twenty years or more.
