Big projects come with the territory—whether you’re building a family homestead or you’re managing a commercial property. Tasks like land clearing, storm cleanup, and debris removal demand equipment that’s up to the challenge. With a root grapple, your tractor becomes a powerful, all-season workhorse that can take on these jobs efficiently and keep your property in shape.

What is a root grapple, and how is it different from a rake grapple?

The key difference between a root grapple and a rake grapple lies in the type of work they’re designed for. While the rake grapple is ideal for moving surface-level debris and loose materials like sticks, leaves, and hay, the root grapple is built to tackle heavier, more stubborn jobs (think large logs, uprooted stumps, deep-rooted plants, and oversized debris). Unlike the rake grapple, which is optimized for lighter materials, root grapples boast a wider jaw opening to accommodate bulkier items with ease, interlocking tines for securing grip on irregularly shaped debris, and robust construction built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty tasks.

While both attachments integrate seamlessly with your TYM tractor, the root grapple delivers the extra strength, stability, and control required for the most demanding projects, from landscaping to land clearing.

Year-round applications of the root grapple

The versatility of the root grapple shines throughout the year. At the beginning of the farming season, you can use the root grapple to clear fallen branches and uprooted plants, and to remove deep-rooted stumps. Summer is a time of making memories on a farm, but it’s also a season to clear land, maintain fence lines, and remove invasive weeds—all tasks made effortless with a root grapple. When paired with a compact utility tractor like the TYM T4058P, a root grapple delivers the power and precision you need to handle these tasks with ease.

Fall is the perfect time to manage fallen logs and brush while winter storms often leave behind debris and damaged trees. When many tractors lie dormant over the colder months, a root grapple keeps your tractor working through the season, doing everything from clearing snow-damaged trees and maintaining access routes. Regardless of the season, the root grapple enhances efficiency, reducing manual labor and expediting cleanup processes.

Integrating root grapples with TYM Tractors

TYM tractors are engineered for versatility, supporting a wide range of attachments to expand their capabilities. Pairing the root grapple with a heavy-duty utility tractor like the TYM T115 unlocks the full potential of both the tractor and the attachment.

Root grapples integrate effortlessly with TYM’s advanced hydraulic systems, delivering smooth, responsive control and the power needed for heavy lifting. With this combination, you’ll save time and effort and take on challenging projects with greater confidence and precision.
