The dirt bucket has been the standard tractor or loader attachment for a long time. AnBo Manufacturing hopes to change that. The company recently designed and developed the hydraulic grapple rake, a new attachment for tractors, loaders, and skid steers. The grapple rake, which hydraulically opens, closes, and moves its jaws of spaced metal tines, can remove trees and brush or surface rake limbs and debris without piling up unnecessary dirt. It can also dig out roots, stumps, and rocks; pick up, move, and stack logs and hay bales, and can even lightly plow. The grapple rake operates like a bucket; it can be raised and lowered, roll it forward or backward. Opening and closing its jaws of spaced metal tines is controlled by a third hydraulic function.
