A Hybrid Grapple Built to Carry Logs, Clamp Brush, and Rake the Ground Clean
The Talon Grapple is designed for 30-60 horsepower tractors and blends the best parts of a skeleton grapple and a root rake grapple into one versatile attachment. Its floor design gives operators a place to carry logs, sticks, and loose yard waste, while the root-rake-style lid closes tight for a firm hold on brush, limbs, and awkward material. Built locally here in Pennsylvania, the Talon is designed around the kind of real property cleanup and material handling work compact and utility tractor owners do every day.

Feature Highlights
Double Piloted Check Valves
Double piloted check valves help hold the grapple securely under load and add confidence when carrying brush, logs, and other uneven material across rough ground.
Tight-Closing Lid Design
Unlike a more open skeleton-style top, the Talon's root-rake-inspired lid closes completely to grab brush, limbs, and stick piles with a firmer hold.
Rear Heel Tines
When the grapple is rolled back, the rear heel tines let operators rake the ground much like a root rake grapple, adding another useful cleanup function to the attachment.
Why Customers Choose the Talon Grapple
The Talon Grapple gives customers a more versatile way to handle brush, logs, sticks, and loose cleanup material without choosing between a skeleton grapple and a root rake grapple. Its floor makes it more useful for loading and carrying, while the tight-closing lid, added rollback angle, and rear heel tines make it feel at home in brush piles, storm cleanup, and general property work.
