The Land Pride SGC Grapple range is designed to fit Kubota compact and sub-compact tractors, with tines manufactured from AR400-grade steel, making it lightweight, yet extremely durable. Dual hydraulic cylinders are said to ensure a secure grip and high clamping force when moving heavier and difficult material.
The SGC range for the New Zealand markets consists of four models, with the SGC0548 at 1.2m-wide, made specifically for BX Series tractors with pin-on attachment, while the larger SGC0660 is 1.5m wide with a universal quick-attach hitch, making it suitable for tractors up to 40hp. For tractors in the 30-55hp range fitted with a universal quick attach hitch, the 1.5m SGC1060 or 1.8m SGC1072 will provide a heavier duty option.
Said to be suitable for a diverse range of jobs such as moving rocks, trees, brush, and construction debris without picking up dirt, or just looking to rake and dig, the SGC range can allow operators to easily grasp, lift, and move a variety of materials.
