Virnig V20 Mini Skid Steer Rotating Log Grapple | Model CLG | Width 29.4" | Hydraulic Flow 15 To 25 GPM | For Mini Skid Steer
DESCRIPTION
The Virnig V20 Mini Skid Steer Rotating Log Grapple is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered attachment designed for landowners, contractors, and property maintenance professionals who demand maximum versatility in a compact package. Built specifically for mini skid steer loaders, this rotating log grapple excels at grabbing, lifting, and precisely placing logs, brush, rocks, and debris with effortless control.
Featuring a 60-inch jaw opening and AR400 steel construction, this log grapple attachment combines industrial strength with intelligent design. The grapple jaw rotates and hangs freely, allowing you to approach materials from any angle while maintaining optimal load balance. Whether you're clearing land, managing storm debris, moving firewood, or handling landscaping materials, the V20 delivers professional-grade performance in a mini skid steer platform.
What sets this mini skid steer grapple apart is its 270° manual rotation capability (with optional 360° hydraulic rotation available), giving operators unmatched flexibility when working in tight spaces or around obstacles. The serrated cradle design securely holds logs in both vertical and horizontal positions, while the bypass jaw design grabs materials as small as 7 inches in diameter with confidence.
Engineered for durability and operator convenience, this compact log grapple features optimized hose routing, recessed grease zerks protected from damage, and a holding valve that prevents jaw drift during operation. The standard push bar, rope tie-off points, and trailer receiver hitch add versatility for towing and material handling tasks.
Compatible with multiple mini skid steer mounting systems including Mini Universal (all brands except Bobcat® and ASV®), Bobcat® Mini, and ASV® Mini mounts, this grapple attachment integrates seamlessly with your existing equipment. Note: This attachment requires a mini skid steer loader with less than 1,650 pounds operating capacity and is not compatible with universal skid steer mounts.
Transform your mini skid steer into a powerful material handling machine with the Virnig V20 Rotating Log Grapple where compact size meets commercial-grade capability.
