ABSTRACT:
A grapple for attaching to a loader bucket. The grapple includes a pair of spaced apart elongate mounting arms each being positioned between a pair of mounting flaps extending from a rear of a bucket of a loader and detachably coupled to the mounting flaps. A pair of pivot arms are pivotally coupled to outer ends of the mounting arms. Each of the pivot arms has a bend defining inner and outer portions of the pivot arm. A toothed portion is coupled to outer ends of the pivot arms. The mounting arms, pivot arms and toothed portion are balanced such that the mounting arms are positioned generally horizontally and spaced apart from a ground surface when outer portions of the pivot arms rest on the ground surface and inner portions of the pivot arms are oriented generally perpendicular to the mounting arms.
