Hammer head Skid Steer Grapple Saw

Hammer Head offers several hydraulic attachments designed for cutting, handling, and processing logs and firewood with compatible heavy equipment. The supplied range includes the Hammer Head Add-A-Saw Hydraulic Chainsaw, Hammer Head Firewood Blocker, Hammer Head Pro Grapple Saw GS-44, Hammer Head Grapple Saw GSR-55, and Hammer Head Rigid Grapple Saw GS-44. These models differ in grapple opening, hydraulic flow requirements, mounting equipment, and cutting or processing configuration, so the correct model should be selected based on your machine and the type of work you need to perform.

A Hammer Head grapple saw combines hydraulic cutting capability with a grapple for handling logs or other woody material. The supplied models include grapple openings from 44 inches up to 55 inches, allowing operators to select a configuration based on the material and handling requirements of the job. The Pro Grapple Saw GS-44, Grapple Saw GSR-55, and Rigid Grapple Saw GS-44 are designed for different equipment configurations, including skid steers, wheel loaders, and tractors depending on the model.

These Hammer Head attachments serve different purposes. The Add-A-Saw Hydraulic Chainsaw provides hydraulic chainsaw cutting capability and has a maximum log cut-off diameter of 24 inches. The Firewood Blocker combines a 36-inch harvester bar with a 36-inch grapple opening and is designed for skid steers, excavators, log loaders, and tractors. The Grapple Saw models combine a grapple with a saw and are available with 44-inch or 55-inch grapple openings, depending on the model. Choosing between them depends on whether your primary requirement is log cutting, firewood processing, or grapple-and-cut handling.

Hydraulic requirements vary by Hammer Head model. The Add-A-Saw Hydraulic Chainsaw requires 14+ GPM, while the Firewood Blocker requires 15.5+ GPM. The Pro Grapple Saw GS-44 has a maximum hydraulic flow of 26 GPM, the GSR-55 Grapple Saw lists a hydraulic flow requirement of 15.5+ GPM, and the Rigid Grapple Saw GS-44 requires 15.5–21 GPM. Always compare the attachment's hydraulic-flow specification with the auxiliary hydraulic system of your machine before purchasing.

Machine compatibility depends on the individual Hammer Head attachment. The Add-A-Saw, Pro Grapple Saw GS-44, and GSR-55 Grapple Saw are listed for skid steers. The Firewood Blocker is listed for skid steers, excavators, log loaders, and tractors, while the Rigid Grapple Saw GS-44 is listed for skid steers, wheel loaders, and tractors. In addition to the machine type, check hydraulic flow, attachment interface, and other equipment requirements specified for the particular model.

Start by matching the attachment to your machine type and hydraulic flow, then consider the cutting and handling capacity you need. For example, the Add-A-Saw is specified for logs up to 24 inches in cut-off diameter, while the Firewood Blocker has a 36-inch harvester bar and 36-inch grapple opening. The grapple saws provide 44-inch or 55-inch openings, depending on the model. Also compare the listed hydraulic-flow range and whether your equipment is a skid steer, excavator, log loader, wheel loader, or tractor. Reviewing these specifications together will help ensure the Hammer Head attachment is properly matched to your equipment and intended application.
