Artillian Iron Fist

The Artillian Iron Fist Grapple is a powerful and versatile attachment designed to enhance the capabilities of compact and sub-compact tractors. The bucket itself weighs approximately 204 lbs and boasts a spacious interior with dimensions of around 54" in width, 16" in height, and 22" in depth, with a tine spacing of 2". Capable of handling loads of up to 2,000 lbs, it is ideal for tractors under 40 HP. Constructed from high-quality materials including 3/8" AR400 for the tines, 1/4" AR400 for the tooth bar, and ASTM A500 structural steel tubing, as well as 1/4" hot rolled steel for side and mounting plates, ensuring durability and reliability. The grapple section of the attachment provides impressive clamping force, with each grapple section capable of delivering up to 700 lbs of force at the tips, which can be doubled with multiple grapples. Despite its strength, the Iron Fist Grapple remains lightweight, with each lid adding only 70 lbs to the weight of the rock bucket. The grapple is rated for use on tractors below 50 HP and features a quick closing/opening time of 0.5-1 second, ensuring efficient operation. It connects to an Artillian Pallet Fork Frame mounted on the front-end loader arms, allowing operators to effortlessly pick up, grip, and haul brush, branches, logs, rocks, and other debris. The modular design allows for various combinations of sectional grapple and rake sections, all of which attach to Artillian Pallet Fork Frames. Grapple sections require a 3rd loader function, such as Artillian's Diverter Kits, for operation. Available in two powder coat color options, orange and black, the Artillian Iron Fist Grapple is a versatile and reliable tool for a wide range of tasks on the farm or job site.

Installation Manual

Grapple

Powerful – Each Grapple Section can provide up to 1020 lbs. of clamping force at the tips. Using multiple grapples doubles or triples these capabilities. On the high-force hinge setting, three grapples can apply over 3000 lbs. of crushing clamping force at the tips!

High Strength – Both Grapple and Rake Sections are made primarily of 3/8-inch thick ultra-high-strength and wear-resistant steel.

Tines, Spine Plate, & Cylinder Mounts: 3/8” thick AR400 Abrasion Resistant Alloy Steel
Tubes: ASTM A513 Steel
Gussets: ¼” HRPO 1010 Steel

Lightweight – Through extensive engineering, a typical Rake-Grapple-Rake setup weighs about the same as your bucket but is far stronger than competitive products. These Grapples harness over 5000 lbs. of hydraulic cylinder force but weigh just 120 lbs. Each Rake Section weighs just 45 lbs.

Using more than one Grapple requires a Hydraulic Splitter Manifold

Grapple Performance:

Grapples are rated for use on tractors below 50 HP
Grapple closing/opening time: 0.5-1 second
Clamping force at the tips:

TRACTOR HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, PSI	TIP FORCE (MAX), LBS. @ WIDE OPEN SETTING
3000	700
2800	650
2500	570
2200	500

Clamping force varies through the range of clamp rotation and also depends on your tractor’s hydraulic pressure.
