"BIG MOUTH" MINI 322 Grapple Rake - Double Grapples / Skid Steer Brackets

Add Large Equipment Features to Your Compact Tractor!

The "BIG MOUTH" MINI 322 Grapple Rake is the perfect grapple rake for tractors with 40 horsepower or less.  The “rake” feature allows the operator to gather (rake) loose material into a pile.  The large 48” opening also closes tight to securely hold small or large loads.  The concealed cylinders and hydraulics are fully protected and will not snag on limbs and brush.

Features include :

• 48” Opening, 59” Wide and Weighs 264 pounds
• Fully Plumbed with Universal Quick Attach Brackets
• Reinforced Rake Tines (End Tines are Double Reinforced)
• Double Grapples
• Recommended for up to 40hp tractors

All pivot points are greased for long lasting wear.  The spacing of rake tines is between 9” and 10” which allows the operator to rake small or large material and at the same time sift the dirt.  Each tine is reinforced for extra strength.  The end tines on the rake are double reinforced.

Note: Each MINI 322 Grapple Rake includes supply lines with your choice of Pioneer Coupler sizes. The hose length is available in two lengths. The 100” will normally reach the middle of the loader arm where many of the selector valves (Xtra Valve Kits) are mounted. The 60” length will reach the front of the tractor. There are several options available for Pioneer/Flat Face Couplers. See Coupler Size Chart Below.

Please select which hose kit and Pioneer Coupler size best fits your tractor.

If you have rear hydraulics, you will need to extend the 100” or 60” supply hoses to reach your rear outlets.  You will need to acquire those hoses locally so you can have the exact length of hose that is required.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SHOPPING FOR A GRAPPLE

• Do you want to add a grapple to your existing bucket or remove your bucket and attach a grapple rake?
• Do you have auxiliary hydraulic outlets? If not, see accessories for Xtra Valve Kit. If you have a set of outlets in the rear of your tractor you might want to run a set of hoses from those outlets to the front of your tractor. Conceal them and secure with cable ties so the hoses do not get in the way. Now you can put couplers on the ends and have a disconnect point at the front of the tractor instead of having long hoses to manage.
• How do you intend to use the grapple? Cleaning barns, picking up loose hay, moving round hay bales, brush or construction debris? Choose the right grapple for your job.
• What is the lift capacity of your loader? Choose a grapple that is less than 50% of your loader lift capacity but still strong enough to do the job.
• What is your price range? This is a slippery slope. Choosing a low price grapple may cost you more in the long run, plus frustrate you.

IMPORTANT FEATURES TO LOOK AT WHEN CHOOSING A GRAPPLE

The width of the opening may be the most important feature of a grapple. A wider grapple opening means you can grab more material. Some are even wide enough to grab large round bales. Spacing of tines is important. For brush we think 6” is ideal. It is wide enough to sift the dirt yet tight enough to hold smaller brush. For rock buckets we think 3” is ideal for the same reasons. Single grapple or double grapple? We sell far more doubles than singles. Mainly because with a double grapple you can clamp down on uneven loads. Almost all brush loads will be uneven. A single grapple may be preferred for picking up even material such as hay bales. A grapple that weighs over 50% of your lift capacity may limit the material you are able to carry. Choose one slightly less than 50%. Getting one too light will be costly in the long run.
