I'll start by saying that I have never never used any type of grapple other than a homemade pallet fork rigged up with a hydro cylinder and some scrap iron.
Looking to step up a little bit and curious if anyone has used them both, or either one.
Tractor is a m6040 kubota if it matters.
Primary use will be picking up large rocks out of a fields that have been pulled up by sub-soiling. Rocks could be 10 or 20 lbs to a few feet across.
I like the idea of the rake being able to push up stuff into a pile, then pick them up. Would the root grapple stand up being used as a rake? The additional length I'm sure would increase stress on it.
The rake grapple I'm considering (not seen much quite like this one)...Skid Steer Extreme Claw Grapple
The root grapple (same as everyone else's)
Skid Steer Root Grapple
I know they make rock buckets, but I have one from a different manufacturer and dont much like it. The tines still pick up too much dirt.
