Abstract
A grapple (10) for use with a loader (26) and a loader attachment (55) includes a base frame (11) and a pair of swingable arms (12, 13) supporting a grapple tooth assembly (14). A first coupling assembly (22, 23) configured for coupling with the loader (26) is provided on a rear side of the base frame (1). A second coupling assembly (29, 30) configured for coupling with the loader attachment (55) is provided on a front side (31) of the base frame (11). The second coupling assembly (29, 30) corresponds in size and shape to the first coupling assembly (22, 23) such that the grapple (10) can be interposed between the loader (26) and any loader attachment (55) capable of coupling to the loader (26). The grapple tooth assembly (14) is pivotally coupled to the swingable arms (12, 13) using resilient bushings (78, 79) that allow the grapple (10) to twist and conform to uneven loads.
