Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

The Star Industries Mini Root Grapple moves bulky, hard-to-handle material like brush and logs on mini skid steers. Its open tines let dirt sift out as it loads large rocks and trash, so it works as a debris cleanup attachment rather than a straight loading tool.

A hydraulic cylinder opens and closes the tine arms, and the grapple opens wide enough to take a full load in one pass. Grease fittings at every pivot point and protective sleeves on the hydraulic lines are built to hold up under repeated grappling cycles. This is built for crews clearing brush, logs, rock, and debris as regular work, not an occasional cleanup.

Common Applications

  • Brush and log removal
  • Rock and trash cleanup
  • General debris and site cleanup

Selection Notes

  • Choose the Fits option that matches the carrier: Dingo, Ditchwitch, Vermeer, Boxer, or Ramrod uses model 170-MI-44; Bobcat uses model 170-MIBC-44.
  • Weight differs by Fits option: 341.59 lb for 170-MI-44, 368.24 lb for 170-MIBC-44.
  • Grapple opening and tine spacing are fixed, not adjustable.
  • Hydraulic flow and pressure are not stated; confirm the auxiliary requirement with the supplier before ordering.
