The ultimate grapple bucket for livestock farmers who demand nothing but the very best and want a versatile attachment for handling, loading and feeding round or square bales and other commodities.
Models in range: LX250
Get the job done, whatever it may be, with GrappleMax grapple bucket. The super tough design, combined with clever use of the highest-grade materials and built-in protection for the vital parts could be the last grapple bucket you ever buy!
The massive 7-feet jaw opening (2.13 m | 84 in) accommodates a wider range of round and square bales as well as various materials and object sizes, even awkwardly shaped items, maintaining excellent manoeuvrability, saving the operator time and efforts.
Designed for moving round and square bales of hay, straw or silage, this bucket with twin-arm grapple handles can also manage dirt, snow, silage, poles, posts or anything else you throw at it.
Safety is paramount when loading a TMR or any other feedout wagons. With this bucket, you can cut and remove strings at ground level, eliminating the need for hazardous string-cutting above the wagon.
GrappleMax stands out with its fully fabricated grapple arms, a superior alternative to those using RHS (rectangular hollow sections). Unlike segmented designs, GrappleMax’s arms are crafted like an excavator boom, boosting strength and clamping power. This fully fabricated approach strategically distributes strength where needed most. The triangular shape ensures excellent clearance around bales, minimizing obstacles or interference during clamping.
GrappleMax’s rams and hydraulic hoses are fully protected. Unlike many grapples where hoses are exposed at the top of the rams, the hoses of the GrappleMax are ingeniously placed at the bottom and inside the arms, preventing any snagging. Additionally, a robust metal shield safeguards the ram’s spear, eliminating the risk of damage.
GrappleMax employs high-grade materials like RockGuard™ 400 (AR400) and RockGuard™ 500 wear plates (AR500), surpassing the industry norm of 350-grade wear plates. This ensures exceptional wear resistance, contributing to an extended lifespan for the machine.
The optional bolt-on (removable) teeth offer enhanced grip and the ability to break through tough materials like ice when added to the bucket’s cutting edge. Constructed from robust RockGuard™ 500 wear plate (AR500) and reinforced at the bottom, this component ensures maximum strength.
The top of the bucket is narrower than the bottom floor, and the back of the bucket is narrower than the bucket opening. This design enables easier material emptying and reduces corner clogging when handling sticky materials.
Just two loose-fitting pins remove the complete grapple, including the grill and hoses. No need to detach hoses, allowing the bucket for other tasks.
Unlike other buckets, GrappleMax has three hollow sections, providing unparalleled torsional strength, unbeatable durability, and a long life.
We addressed a common failure in other grapple buckets with a tough RHS-reinforced grill featuring a large mesh design for excellent visibility.
GrappleMax has five large tines made from RockGuard™ 400 (AR400) wear plate, reinforced and welded to prevent loosening or bending.
Hoses are kept out of harm’s way on the loader carrier frame, preventing damage during hookup. Hose-holding hooks are also available for storage when not in use.
Routed inside the arm to shield against snags or damage from materials when grabbing brush or other items.
Large steel shields protect the ram’s spears to prevent damage from falling materials.
Crafted from RockGuard™ 500 (AR500) wear plate and reinforced for strength and durability with RockGuard™ 500 stiffeners, these optional teeth* are excellent for spearing bales or breaking up ice or other hard surfaces.
