📘 Overview
The Top Dog rake grapple is a single-arm root rake grapple for picking up brush, storm debris and demolition material — tines on 9.5" spacing let soil and fines fall through so you load debris rather than dirt. Two widths are offered, 72" (9033220) and 78" (9033221), both 35.5" tall with 19.75" inside depth and a 45" open tine-to-tine height. Tines and top cross bar are Grade 50. At 820 to 865 lbs it is a substantial tool, sized for skid steers and larger tractor loaders rather than compact machines.
A grapple rake and a bucket grapple are not substitutes. As a root grapple for skid steer or tractor work, the wide tine spacing is the whole point — it sheds the soil that a bucket would carry, so trailer loads and tipping fees go on debris. Buyers searching root grapple for tractor will find the same universal quick attach plate fits both machine classes, which is why Top Dog lists this attachment in its tractor range. Against a brush grapple, this tine grapple gathers better and carries loose material worse — choose by what you are picking up.
⚙ Key Features of the Top Dog Attachments Rake Grapple
- 9.5" tine spacing — wide gaps let soil, fines and small debris drop through — you carry brush, not the ground it was sitting on.
- Grade 50 tines and top cross bar — the tines take prying and raking loads at the tips where leverage is highest.
- 45" open tine-to-tine height — opens wide enough to take a substantial bite of a brush pile or debris heap.
- Single arm grapple — a full-width single arm holds long material securely across the whole opening.
- 19.75" inside depth — shallow by design — a rake grapple gathers and clamps rather than scooping.
- Two widths, 72" and 78" — 820 lbs and 865 lbs, sized for skid steers and larger tractor loaders.
- Rakes as well as grabs — the tine profile combs through debris to gather it before the arm closes.
🔑 Why Choose the Rake Grapple?
- Load debris, not soil — 9.5" spacing sheds dirt and fines during pickup, so trailer space and tipping fees go on actual debris.
- Gathers before it grips — the rake profile combs material into a pile that the arm can then clamp — a bucket grapple has to push material together first.
- Handles storm and demolition work — irregular, long and mixed material is exactly what a tine grapple holds and a bucket does not.
- Saves your back on cleanup — the tool does the gathering that would otherwise be done by hand with a rake and a trailer.

🔗 What Is a Root Rake Grapple Used For?
- Picking up brush and storm debris
- Demolition cleanup and material sorting
- Moving logs and large irregular objects
- Construction site clearing
- Recycling, landscaping and industrial debris handling
For material that includes loose soil or fines you actually want to keep, a brush bucket grapple with a solid floor is the better tool.
🚜 Which Machines Fit the Rake Grapple?
Available for two machine classes — the Rake Grapple uses a single universal quick attach plate that serves both:
Skid steers and compact track loaders — fits machines with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) mount, including:
BobcatCaterpillarJohn DeereCaseNew HollandTakeuchiKubotaGehl
Compact tractor front-end loaders — fits tractor loaders fitted with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler. Loaders using Euro/Global or John Deere 400/500 mounts require the matching Top Dog adapter plate (Euro 90133219, Euro 2-piece 90133229, JD flat 9033199, JD offset 90133228).
Hydraulic requirement: The grapple arm is hydraulically operated and requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit on the host machine.
Machine capacity: The rake grapple weighs 820 lbs at 72" and 865 lbs at 78" before any load, and extends well forward of the mount. It suits skid steers, compact track loaders and larger tractor loaders with the rated operating capacity to carry that at reach — it is not a compact-machine attachment.
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration before ordering.
❓ Rake Grapple Questions, Answered
What is the difference between a rake grapple and a brush grapple?
A rake grapple has widely spaced tines (9.5" on the Top Dog) and a shallow 19.75" depth — it combs debris together and clamps it, letting soil fall through. A brush grapple is a bucket with a grapple arm, so it carries the material it scoops including fines. Choose the rake grapple for debris cleanup where you do not want the dirt; choose the brush bucket when you need to carry loose material as well.
Will soil and small debris fall through the rake grapple?
Yes — that is the design intent. The 9.5" tine spacing on the Top Dog rake grapple lets soil, fines and small material drop through during pickup, so the load is brush and debris rather than ground.
What size machine does the rake grapple need?
The Top Dog rake grapple weighs 820 lbs at 72" and 865 lbs at 78" before any load, and extends well forward of the mount. It suits skid steers, compact track loaders and larger tractor loaders with the rated operating capacity to carry that at reach — it is not a compact-machine attachment.
Does the rake grapple require auxiliary hydraulics?
Yes. The grapple arm is hydraulically operated and requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit on the host machine.
How wide does the rake grapple open?
The Top Dog rake grapple opens to 45" measured tine-to-tine, with an overall height of 35.5".
Is this a single or dual arm grapple?
The Top Dog rake grapple uses a single full-width grapple arm, which holds long material securely across the whole opening. Dual-arm designs conform better to uneven loads but grip a narrower span each.
Can the rake grapple be used on a tractor?
Yes. The Top Dog rake grapple fits tractor front-end loaders with a skid-steer-style universal quick attach coupler and an auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Top Dog categorises this attachment under its tractor range, and it is equally at home on a skid steer with the same mount.
What are the tines made from?
The tines and top cross bar on the Top Dog rake grapple are Grade 50 steel, spaced 9.5" apart.
Can the rake grapple pick up rocks as well as brush?
It will handle rock mixed into debris, but a rake grapple is not a rock-picking tool — the 9.5" tine spacing lets smaller stone fall straight through. For separating rock from soil, a rock bucket with 3" or 6" spacing is the right choice.
