Product Overview
The Mini Skid Steer Stump Bucket Grapple is a heavy-duty hydraulic combination attachment that integrates a steel-toothed stump bucket with a powered grapple arm, giving compact mini skid steer operators a single tool that can dig, cut roots, pry stumps free, and then securely grip and transport the extracted material — all without switching attachments. This 2-in-1 design represents a significant operational upgrade over a standard stump bucket, because once the bucket teeth have broken the stump free from the soil, the hydraulic grapple arm closes over the top of the stump to lock it in place for safe, controlled lifting and transport to a dump pile or trailer. For tree service professionals, land clearing contractors, landscapers, and property owners who need to remove stumps efficiently and move the extracted material without it rolling or shifting during transport, this combination attachment eliminates the need for a separate grapple tool and reduces the total number of attachment changes on every job.
The hydraulic grapple arm is the defining feature that separates this attachment from a standard stump bucket, and its value becomes most apparent during the extraction and transport phase of stump removal. When a stump is pried free from the ground using the steel tooth leading edge of the bucket, it is often irregular in shape, unbalanced in weight distribution, and covered in loose soil and root debris — conditions that make it difficult to carry securely in an open bucket without the material shifting or falling during transport. The grapple arm closes hydraulically over the top of the extracted stump, clamping it firmly against the bucket floor and preventing any movement during lifting and transport. This secure grip not only protects the operator and bystanders from falling material, but also allows the operator to move faster between the extraction point and the dump location without slowing down to compensate for an unsecured load.
The grapple features an opening range of 0 to 873 mm, giving it the flexibility to close completely for gripping small stumps, root balls, and debris piles, or open wide to accommodate large-diameter stumps from mature hardwood trees. This wide operating range means the attachment handles the full spectrum of stump sizes encountered on a typical land clearing or tree service job without requiring adjustment or tool changes between stumps of different sizes. The grapple also functions independently of the bucket's digging position, allowing the operator to use it to grab and reposition material, collect loose debris, or handle irregular objects like rocks, logs, and demolition rubble that the bucket alone cannot secure for transport.
Beyond stump removal, this combination attachment opens up a broader range of job site applications that a standard stump bucket cannot handle. For construction and renovation crews, the grapple arm allows the attachment to lift and carry concrete slabs, broken pavers, and irregular demolition debris with the secure grip needed to prevent material from dropping during transport. For land clearing operations, it handles root balls, brush piles, and tangled vegetation that would slip out of an open bucket. For footing and foundation excavation work around existing structures, the bucket teeth cut through root systems and compacted soil while the grapple secures extracted material for clean, controlled removal from tight working spaces.
Built with an 8 mm main plate thickness and a robust hydraulic grapple frame, this attachment is engineered to withstand the combined stresses of stump extraction digging and repeated grapple clamping cycles under heavy load. Operating at 16 MPa with a hydraulic flow requirement of 60 LPM, it is compatible with the auxiliary hydraulic systems on most mini skid steer models running standard auxiliary circuits. With a working width of 37 inches (790 mm) and a bucket volume of 60 liters, it is sized for compact mini loaders and is compatible with the MP600 mount plate system used by leading mini loader brands including Dingo, Kanga, Toro, Viking, and Vermeer.
