Which ANBO Grapple Is Right for You?

Start with horsepower, then account for traction, lift capacity, machine weight, and the work ahead.

ANBO grapple rake ready for machine fitment

Choosing a grapple by width or price alone can leave a machine overburdened or an attachment underbuilt.

ANBO model numbers establish the horsepower class, but the complete match also considers how the machine puts power to the ground.

Begin with the machine class

A tractor, wheeled skid steer, and compact track loader can produce very different attachment loads at similar horsepower. Tracks, operating weight, geometry, and lift capacity all influence the final recommendation.

Key considerations

  • Engine horsepower and machine type
  • Operating weight and lift capacity
  • Tracks or wheels
  • Mount, bucket width, and hydraulic setup
  • Primary material and duty cycle

Match capacity to the work

Standard GR models favor controlled raking and ground work, while High Capacity models create more room for brush, limbs, and bulky debris. The correct model and geometry should be chosen together.

Verify before the build

Share the machine make, model, mount, width, and intended work with ANBO so the attachment can be sized as a complete system.
