HLA Attachments 66-inch Light Duty Root Rake with Hydraulic Grapple (RRGLD66BO500) is a lightweight, rugged material-handling attachment designed for compact loaders with a universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier. Its flame-cut tines comb through soil to separate roots, rocks and loose debris, while the hydraulic grapple helps capture and control bulky or irregular material. With a 66-inch working width, 33-1/2-inch maximum grapple opening and durable AR400 digging points, this root rake is well suited to land clearing, property cleanup, brush handling and similar site-maintenance work.
The open-tine construction allows loose soil to pass between the tines while retaining larger material. Tines are spaced 7 inches apart from centre to centre, helping the rake separate roots, rocks and debris from the ground during cleanup operations. The digging points are manufactured from 1/2-inch-thick AR400 material for durability at the primary ground-contact areas.
This design gives compact-loader operators a practical way to rake disturbed ground, collect unwanted material and leave more soil behind. The 66-inch working width provides useful coverage while the attachment maintains an approximate weight of 425 lb, supporting its intended use as a light-duty root rake for compact loaders.
The integrated hydraulic grapple secures brush, roots and irregular debris against the rake. A single 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinder operates the grapple, which opens to a maximum of 33-1/2 inches. This opening provides room to capture bulky material, while the closed grapple helps retain loads during lifting, repositioning and transport around the work site.
With the grapple closed, the attachment has an overall height of 28 inches. Its combined raking and gripping functions make it a versatile choice for cleanup tasks where loose or awkward material would be difficult to manage with a conventional bucket alone.
The RRGLD66BO500 is configured with HLA Attachments’ BO500 mounting variant. It is compatible with compact loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer quick-attach carrier.
