HLA Attachments SDB66 66-Inch Debris Grapple Fork with BO500 Mounting is a heavy-duty hydraulic material-handling attachment designed to collect brush, branches and other bulky debris while allowing loose dirt to fall between the tines. This 11-tine catalogue configuration combines two independently operating hydraulic grapples with long, replaceable tempered tines, providing secure control over uneven and irregular loads. Its BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach interface is suitable for compatible loader carriers, making the grapple fork a practical choice for property cleanup, landscaping, land clearing and general debris handling.
The SDB66 is built around a 66-inch working width and a tine layout intended to separate debris from soil. Its 39-inch Conus II cranked Kverneland tines provide 32 inches of usable length, offering ample support beneath brush and loose material. Six-inch tine centres create space for dirt to sift out rather than being carried away with the load.
Unlike designs that use a support bar across the tine points, the SDB66 uses replaceable tempered tines that eliminate this obstruction. The open tine-point arrangement helps reduce material lodging and jamming when the attachment is emptied, improving productivity during repeated loading and dumping cycles. Individual tines can also be replaced when required.
Two independent hydraulic grapples help the attachment conform to uneven loads. Each grapple can secure material across its respective section of the fork, providing better retention when handling brush, branches and debris of varying shapes or heights. This independent configuration is particularly useful when a load is not evenly distributed across the full 66-inch width.
The grapples are operated by two 2-1/2-inch by 8-inch hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders are completely protected from debris, helping shield important hydraulic components in demanding cleanup and material-handling environments.
This attachment is supplied as the HLA SDB66 with BO500 mounting. HLA uses the BO500 mounting code for numerous skid-steer-style quick-attach loader and skid-steer carriers. The loader must have a compatible skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier, but machine-specific fit should be confirmed against HLA mounting information before purchase.
Loader capacity should also be considered in relation to the attachment’s approximate 985-pound weight and the intended material load.
Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the two independent grapples. The attachment uses two 2-1/2-inch by 8-inch hydraulic cylinders. A specific hydraulic flow or pressure requirement is not stated for this model.
