HLA Attachments RRG96-BO500 96-Inch Root Rake with Hydraulic Grapple is a regular-duty material-handling attachment designed for gathering, clamping, and moving roots, rocks, and debris. Its wide 96-inch working width covers substantial ground, while two independent hydraulic grapples conform to awkward and uneven loads for more complete clamping. The BO500 mount provides a skid-steer-style quick-attach connection for compatible loaders, making this root rake well suited to land clearing, property cleanup, and general debris handling.
Unlike a single full-width grapple, the RRG96 uses two independently operating grapple sections. This configuration allows each grapple to close against the material beneath it, helping retain uneven piles of roots, rocks, and mixed debris. The grapples open up to 48-1/2 inches to accommodate bulky material and close to an overall attachment height of 34 inches.
Two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders operate the grapples. The dual-cylinder arrangement supports controlled clamping across the attachment’s full width and provides the independent grapple action needed when handling loads with inconsistent shapes.
The rake points are manufactured from 1/2-inch-thick AR400 steel for durability in demanding ground-contact and cleanup applications. Tines are positioned on 7-inch centers, providing space for loose soil and smaller material to pass through while roots, rocks, branches, and larger debris are gathered and retained.
At approximately 1,200 lb, the RRG96 is a substantial attachment intended for appropriately sized loaders equipped with the represented BO500 skid-steer-style quick-attach interface.
This model is supplied in the BO500 mount variant for loaders equipped with the corresponding skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. Confirm that the loader’s quick-attach system, operating capacity, and hydraulic setup are suitable for the attachment’s approximately 1,200 lb weight and dual-cylinder grapple configuration.
Available accessory options include the HK90 90-inch hose kit with flat-faced couplers, the HK9090 90-inch hose kit with 90-degree flat-faced couplers, and the SHMK spring hose mount kit.
The grapple is operated by two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders. A verified hydraulic flow or pressure requirement is not published for this model. Hydraulic hose kits are available separately in standard flat-faced and 90-degree flat-faced coupler configurations.
