Fecon Red Line Log Grapple | Model LG57 | Opening Width 57" | 10–20 GPM | For Mini Skid Steer
DESCRIPTION
The Fecon Red Line LG57 Log Grapple is a heavy-duty mini skid steer attachment engineered for dependable handling of logs, timber, brush, and other bulky materials on demanding jobsites. Its generous 57-inch opening, serrated interlocking jaws, and tined cradle provide secure control of irregular loads during lifting, stacking, loading, and placement. The 360-degree rotating grapple helps position material precisely without repeatedly repositioning the carrier, while the heavy-duty push bar assists with tree and log control. Standard rope bollards provide a practical point for guiding rope lines during tree work. A bolt-on mount supports straightforward carrier integration, while protected hydraulic routing helps simplify service. With a 375 lb operating weight and 10–20 GPM hydraulic flow requirement, the LG57 is an excellent choice for forestry, land clearing, storm cleanup, right-of-way maintenance, rural property work, and construction sites where compact equipment needs serious material-handling capability.
Key Features
Heavy-Duty Log Handling Built for demanding mini skid steer log handling, the LG57 securely grabs, lifts, moves, stacks, and positions logs, timber, and bulky materials across forestry, land-clearing, and cleanup applications.
57-Inch Grapple Opening The generous 57" opening provides substantial capacity for handling large logs and irregular timber, making this attachment a practical choice for contractors needing strong material-handling performance from compact equipment.
360-Degree Rotating Grapple The 360-degree rotating grapple improves positioning flexibility, allowing operators to orient logs and materials precisely without constantly repositioning the mini skid steer.
Serrated Interlocking Jaws Durable serrated jaws grip uneven logs securely and work with the cradle to help maintain control during lifting, transport, loading, and placement of heavy or irregular timber.
Tined Cradle Design The tined cradle improves load balance and support, helping keep logs stable in both vertical and horizontal handling positions for controlled movement around demanding jobsites.
Heavy-Duty Push Bar A rugged push bar helps operators control and guide trees and logs during clearing operations, adding practical support when working around standing timber and fallen material.
Rope Bollards Standard Integrated rope bollards provide a convenient anchoring and guiding point for rope lines, helping operators direct falling trees or manage heavy logs during land-clearing work.
Bolt-On Mount Capability The bolt-on mount configuration supports carrier-specific installation and helps provide a secure connection between the LG57 and compatible mini skid steer equipment.
10–20 GPM Hydraulic Flow Designed for 10–20 GPM hydraulic flow, the LG57 is matched to compatible mini skid steers requiring dependable auxiliary hydraulic performance for attachment operation.
Compact 375 lb Design At just 375 lb, the grapple delivers serious log-handling capability while remaining appropriately sized for mini skid steer applications where attachment weight and maneuverability matter.
Protected Hydraulic Routing Streamlined hydraulic routing helps protect key components while supporting easier inspections and routine service, keeping the attachment ready for demanding field conditions.
Tow-Hitch Receiver The integrated tow-hitch receiver adds versatility by allowing operators to move a compatible trailer or chipper around the jobsite without changing attachments.
Forestry-Ready Construction Heavy-duty welded construction is engineered for professional forestry, storm cleanup, land clearing, construction, and right-of-way applications where durability and dependable handling are essential.
Optional Hydraulic Rotation An optional hydraulic rotation system provides enhanced operator control when precise positioning is required, making the LG57 adaptable to different material-handling preferences and jobsite demands.
Mini Skid Steer Compatibility Purpose-built for mini skid steers, the LG57 combines compact-machine compatibility with a wide grapple opening and robust construction for professional log and timber handling.

I've started using the mulcher I on several parcels of land 10 acres . I have grind down a couple of 14 inch stumps. Caution the mount bracket behind the mulcher motor exhaust gets extremely hot even with gloves on . But the unit so far seems to works very good it's well put together.
The Firminator G3 is s heavy duty quality machine. The discs worked extremely well and planting and culti-packing is very smooth and easy. Working with Dillon at Ripping It Outdoors was a very good experience and seamless transaction.
After spending way to much money for forest mulching services I discovered this wonderful machine. It's not a giant powerhouse forest mulcher, but it does everything a property owner needs to maintain a forested property. I wish I would have found it sooner.
The Firminator is well built and functions well. I am having some trouble while planting mixed size seeds. Next time out I’ll try setting it so only the smaller seeds drop out the open it up for the larger seeds.
easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.
Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.
My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now.
I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on.
I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.
Great piece of equipment. Performs far better than I expected. One piece of advice - if property is significantly overgrown, consider the tractor attachment first to bring down the over growth and then switch to the UTV attachment to maintain property. No complaints worked perfectly.
Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!
TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks
Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!
These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs.
I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again.
Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors. Fortunately I got Dillion as a representative and everything from sales to shipping was spot on..
Thanks Dillion for your help!!
The only thing is when hooking up the actuator on my ATV. The wire is long going to the plug in. What has happened in the past about this. Is their video showing the usage of the control?
