GRAPPLE, 72" 3PT, SR

The Wallenstein LXG330S 72" Three-Point-Hitch Log Grapple is a tractor-mounted grapple designed for handling logs and other bulky material with control and stability. Its hydraulically operated grapple forks provide a maximum opening of 72 inches, while the spring-centered pivot can rotate 90° in either direction when unlocked and return toward center when the load permits. With a 4,500 lb lift capacity, 21,000 lb clamp force, bypass grapple design, cantilever cradle, push bar, and lockable pivot positions, the LXG330S is suited to forestry, firewood handling, land maintenance, and general material handling with compatible tractors.

Key Features

• 72-inch maximum grapple opening: The opening range is 3–72 inches, accommodating a wide range of log sizes and loads.
• 180° spring-centered pivot: The S-model pivot can rotate 90° in either direction when unlocked and spring-centers when the load permits.
• Hydraulic grapple operation: The grapple forks are powered by the tractor's rear remote hydraulics.
• 4,500 lb lift capacity: Provides substantial lifting capability for tractor-mounted log handling.
• 21,000 lb clamp force: Helps secure material within the grapple during handling.
• Bypass grapple design: Supports gripping and carrying logs and other material.
• Cantilever cradle and push bar: The cradle supports material while the 19-inch push bar adds a useful contact point during handling.
• Lockable pivot positions: The pivot can be secured in selected positions when required for the task.
• Hydraulic hoses and couplers included: The implement is supplied with the hydraulic connection equipment identified for this model.

Built for Controlled Log Handling

The LXG330S combines a three-point-hitch mounting system with a spring-centered grapple pivot. When the pivot is unlocked, the grapple can rotate through 180° of total movement, allowing 90° of travel in either direction. The spring-return design helps the grapple stay centered when the load permits, supporting more controlled positioning as the tractor turns or approaches material.

The hydraulic forks are operated through the tractor's rear remote hydraulics. The recommended hydraulic flow is 5 gpm (19 lpm). The bypass grapple, cantilever cradle, and push bar work together to support gripping, positioning, and moving logs. The 72-inch maximum opening provides flexibility for handling different material sizes, while the lockable pivot positions allow the operator to select a fixed or spring-centered setup as needed.

Tractor Compatibility and Requirements

The Wallenstein LXG330S is a tractor-mounted three-point-hitch grapple intended for tractors with a Category II or Category III three-point hitch. It is specified for tractors with an engine power range of 55–120 hp. The grapple forks require the tractor's rear remote hydraulics, with a recommended hydraulic flow of 5 gpm (19 lpm).

Confirm that the tractor's three-point hitch, rear remote hydraulic connections, lifting capability, and operating configuration are suitable for an implement weighing 836 lb. PTO speed and hydraulic pressure were not verified for this model.
