Hydraulic "Grab Tool"
“You can use it to do everything from moving rocks and tree limbs to dragging brush and pulling fence posts,” says Rick Moberly, Wendrick Tools, Ponca City, Okla., about his new Hydra-Grasp tool that operates off tractor’s hydraulics and can be rear-mounted or loader-mounted.
The unit has a pair of metal arms equipped with rotating “grips” at the ends. One arm is movable and retracts inward when a hydraulic cylinder is retracted. The grips can be replaced with expanded metal “grips” for grabbing brush or pulling small trees out of the ground.
The unit mounts on back of a tractor via a receiver ball hitch that hooks up to a tractor’s drawbar, with a chain running to the top link on the 3-pt. hitch. An adapter and chain can also be used to attach the HydraGrasp to the lip of a loader bucket.
“I’ve used it to pull small trees out of pastures and to drag big tree limbs and drag brush away,” says Moberly. “I used it last winter to help build a livestock corral. I mounted a posthole auger on back of the tractor and mounted the HydraGrasp on front. I used the auger to make the holes and then grabbed a pipe and set it into the hole, all without having to get off the tractor.”
Sells for $625.
