The Haugen HGR skid steer grapple rake is a demolition-duty grapple designed for heavy debris cleanup, land clearing, and material handling where lighter grapples fail. Available in two widths — 78" (10 teeth, 1,330 lbs) and 86.5" (11 teeth, 1,456 lbs) — these are among the heaviest grapple rakes in the industry. Key specs: 53" maximum clam opening, 3/4" T-1 steel bucket teeth with replaceable tips, 1/2" Grade 50 grapple tines at 8" spacing, 3" x 10" industrial hydraulic cylinders with built-in guards, and spring-loaded hose guides. Universal Quick Attach. Powder coat finish. Two auxiliary hydraulic circuits required. Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

The HGR requires two auxiliary hydraulic circuits (one for each independent cylinder). Verify your skid steer has dual auxiliary circuit capability before ordering. At 1,330–1,456 lbs empty, confirm your machine's rated operating capacity can safely handle the grapple weight plus expected material load.
Compatible with full-size skid steers and compact track loaders with Universal Quick Attach and dual auxiliary hydraulic circuits:
| Bobcat | Caterpillar | John Deere | Case |
| New Holland | Takeuchi | Kubota | Gehl |
Requires dual aux circuits. At 1,330-1,456 lbs empty, confirm your machine's operating capacity. Best suited for machines rated 2,200+ lbs operating capacity.

Q: What makes the HGR a "demolition" grapple vs a standard grapple?
The HGR is purpose-built for demolition and heavy debris — it uses 3/4" T-1 steel for bucket teeth (harder than mild steel), 1/2" Grade 50 tines (higher yield strength), 3" x 10" industrial cylinders (significantly larger bore than the 2.5" cylinders on lighter grapples), and built-in cylinder guards. These specs serve jobs involving heavy structural timber, concrete rubble, block demolition, and large root balls where lighter grapples deform or fail. |
|
Q: How does the clam opening work — what can I grab?
The HGR opens to 53" between the bucket bottom and the grapple top when fully open. This accommodates large logs, piles of dimensional lumber, stacked block, and debris piles up to 53" tall. The 73" (HGR 78) and 82" (HGR 86) grapple width means the grapple tines extend inward across the full bucket width during closure, providing a secure grip across the entire load face. |
|
Q: Do I need two hydraulic circuits?
Yes — the HGR uses independent-acting cylinders on each side (left and right grapple arms), which requires two separate auxiliary hydraulic circuits on your skid steer. Machines with only one aux circuit (or a combined flow circuit) will not be able to operate the grapple independently on each side. Verify with your machine's operator manual or dealer before ordering. |
|
Q: What do replaceable tooth tips mean?
The bucket teeth on the HGR use a tooth shank welded to the bucket with a replaceable tip attached to the shank via a pin or bolt. When the tip wears down (which happens first), you replace only the tip — not the entire tooth. This is significantly cheaper and faster than replacing weld-on teeth and is the standard approach on high-cycle demolition equipment. |
|
Q: Can the HGR handle large root balls and stumps?
Yes — the HGR is well-suited for root ball extraction and stump removal. The wide clam opening (53") and heavy tine construction are designed for this use. For very large stumps (2+ feet diameter), pair with a skid steer that has strong breakout force to use the grapple as a prying tool in combination with the bucket teeth for engagement. |
