Clear Brush, Roots, and Debris the Smart Way

Need to clean up a job site, remove brush, or tear out stubborn roots? A root rake grapple attachment from Melecio Attachments gives you the power to rake, grab, and haul—all with one tool. Built for skid steers and compact machines, these heavy-duty grapples make land clearing faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

Whether you’re a contractor, landowner, or farmer, our root rakes help you tackle tough jobs without tearing up the ground.

What Is a Root Rake Grapple?

A root rake grapple is a skid steer attachment that acts like a giant claw and comb in one. The rake-style tines sift through dirt to grab roots, brush, and debris, while the hydraulic grapple arms clamp down to hold everything in place. This allows you to pull out unwanted material without scooping up all your topsoil.

It’s a must-have tool for land clearing, storm cleanup, farming, and landscaping.

Why Use a Melecio Root Rake Grapple?

At Melecio Attachments, we build every grapple right here in the USA with the strength and features professionals rely on. Here’s what makes ours different:

✅ Clear More with Fewer Passes

With raking, grabbing, and hauling combined into one tool, you can do more in a single pass—cutting down machine time and hand labor.

✅ Leave the Good Dirt Behind

Our rake tines are designed to sift through soil, removing roots and debris while leaving behind valuable topsoil. This keeps your land healthy and ready for planting, grading, or building.

✅ Built for Heavy-Duty Work

We use reinforced steel and high-quality hydraulic components that stand up to real-world stress. These grapples are made to handle logs, rocks, stumps, and tangled brush without bending or breaking.

✅ Strong, Secure Grip

The grapple arms clamp tight, giving you a solid grip on bulky or uneven materials. Whether you’re hauling logs or dragging out a root system, your load stays locked in.
