Powerful Gripping Performance for Demanding Tree Work
Secure the Load. Control the Movement.
Handling logs and tree debris requires more than lifting capacity. Irregular shapes, shifting weight, and uneven surfaces demand an attachment that can maintain a secure grip while allowing precise material positioning.
The Blue Diamond Mini Skid Steer Log Grapple is engineered specifically for these challenges. Its hydraulically operated grapple arms open to 63" and close to under 4", providing exceptional versatility for handling everything from smaller limbs to large logs.
Aggressive serrated gripping surfaces bite into woody material to improve holding traction, while the heavy-duty welded hydraulic cylinder delivers the clamping force needed for secure material handling.
Unlike general-purpose grapples designed to carry mixed debris, the Mini Log Grapple features a specialized gripping configuration that makes it particularly effective for handling individual logs, tree sections, and bulky timber.
For tree service professionals and land-clearing contractors, this specialized design provides the control and efficiency needed to move heavy, irregular materials with confidence.
Manual or Hydraulic Rotation for Greater Versatility
Choose the Control That Fits Your Operation.
Every tree-care and land-clearing project presents different material-handling challenges. The Blue Diamond Mini Log Grapple is available in manual and hydraulic rotation configurations, allowing operators to choose the setup that best matches their machine and working requirements.
Manual Rotation Model
The manual rotation configuration provides a straightforward, heavy-duty solution for gripping and moving logs. It is an excellent choice for operators who need dependable log-handling capability without the additional hydraulic rotation controls.
Hydraulic Rotation Models
For applications requiring more frequent positioning adjustments, the hydraulic rotation configuration provides additional control over log orientation.
Operators can hydraulically rotate the grapple to help align logs for loading, stacking, and placement. This is especially valuable when working with long or irregular materials that require careful positioning.
Hydraulic rotation models are available with Mini Universal or Bobcat MT mounting configurations and include a universal control harness.
Whether handling logs in a confined work area or organizing timber at a larger cleanup site, the choice of rotation systems helps operators match the attachment to their equipment and productivity requirements.
Designed for Secure Log Stabilization
More Than a Strong Grip.
One of the Mini Log Grapple's most important design features is its integrated load stabilization system.
The serrated brace located beneath the quick-attach mounting area provides an additional contact surface to help stabilize logs while they are being handled. This feature is particularly useful when positioning and carrying irregular materials that may shift or rotate.
Combined with the aggressive serrated grapple tines, the stabilization brace helps operators maintain better load control during material movement.
The reinforced boom also incorporates a serrated contact edge that provides additional support when positioning timber.
For contractors working with long logs and bulky tree sections, these specialized gripping and stabilization features help make material handling more controlled and productive.
Compact Equipment. Professional Tree-Care Capability.
Get More Done in Limited-Access Areas.
Mini skid steers are valued for their maneuverability and ability to operate in areas where larger equipment cannot easily access. The Blue Diamond Mini Log Grapple expands that versatility by adding specialized timber-handling capability to compatible compact machines.
Its compact design is well suited for residential tree removal, landscaping projects, property cleanup, and other applications where limited access makes material handling challenging.
Rather than relying on manual labor to move heavy branches and cut logs, operators can use their mini skid steer to grip, lift, transport, and position material more efficiently.
For tree service contractors, the ability to move cut timber with existing equipment can help streamline cleanup operations and reduce the amount of manual material handling required on the job site.
The result is a versatile attachment that helps maximize the productivity of compact equipment while delivering the specialized gripping performance required for professional tree work.
Built for Durability and Easy Maintenance
Heavy-Duty Construction. Dependable Performance.
Tree work exposes equipment to demanding conditions, including abrasive bark, heavy loads, branches, and irregular materials. The Blue Diamond Mini Log Grapple is engineered to withstand these environments with rugged construction and serviceable hydraulic components.
A heavy-duty welded hydraulic cylinder provides reliable clamping power, while protective hose shielding helps reduce exposure to branches and flying debris during material handling.
Reinforced steel components and robust grapple tines provide the strength required for repeated loading, lifting, and positioning operations.
Accessible lubrication points make routine maintenance straightforward, helping operators keep the grapple functioning smoothly and reduce unnecessary wear. Blue Diamond recommends greasing the pivot points every eight hours of operation.
For contractors who depend on their equipment every day, the Mini Log Grapple offers the durability, serviceability, and dependable performance needed to keep work moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mini skid steer log grapple used for?
A mini skid steer log grapple is designed to grip, lift, transport, and position logs, timber, and large tree limbs. Common applications include tree removal cleanup, land clearing, forestry work, storm debris removal, and firewood processing.
How much weight can the Blue Diamond Mini Log Grapple lift?
The Blue Diamond Mini Log Grapple has a rated lifting capacity of 2,000 lbs. Actual lifting capability depends on the host machine's rated operating capacity, attachment weight, load position, and working conditions.
What size logs can the Mini Log Grapple handle?
The grapple has a maximum opening of 63" and closes to under 4", allowing it to accommodate a wide variety of log diameters. The size and weight of the material must remain within the attachment's rated capacity and the host machine's lifting limits.
What is the difference between manual and hydraulic rotation?
Both models use hydraulic power to open and close the grapple. The manual rotation model offers a simpler configuration, while the hydraulic rotation model allows operators to control grapple rotation hydraulically for additional positioning flexibility.
Does the hydraulic rotating grapple require an electrical connection?
Yes. The hydraulic rotation models require a compatible control harness to operate the rotation function. Current hydraulic rotation configurations include a universal control harness. Confirm compatibility with your machine's electrical controls before ordering.
Will the Mini Log Grapple fit my Bobcat MT or mini skid steer?
Hydraulic rotation models are available with Mini Universal and Bobcat MT mounting configurations. Additional mounting options may be available. Confirm the mount, hydraulic flow, electrical controls, and host machine lifting capacity before purchasing.
What hydraulic flow is required for the Mini Log Grapple?
The recommended hydraulic flow range is 8–26 GPM, with a maximum hydraulic pressure of 3,200 PSI. Verify that your mini skid steer meets the required specifications for the selected model.
How do I maintain the Mini Log Grapple?
Routine maintenance includes inspecting hydraulic hoses and fittings, checking fasteners and grapple components for wear, and lubricating pivot points. The operator's manual recommends greasing the attachment every eight hours of operation.
Built to Grip. Engineered to Perform.
From demanding tree removal projects to everyday property cleanup, the Blue Diamond® Mini Skid Steer Log Grapple delivers powerful gripping performance, versatile positioning, and heavy-duty construction in a compact, job-site-ready attachment.
