Using your Blue Diamond® Mini Grapple Rake is easy. First, attach it to your mini skid steer using the provided mounts that fit most machines. When you're dealing with roots, drive the rake over the area. The serrated teeth on the bottom tines will rip and tear out the roots. Once you've gathered a pile, use the independently acting top clamps to grab the pile. You can also use it for brush or small logs in the same way. Remember to grease the pivot points regularly to keep the rake working smoothly. Check the hoses and couplers for any signs of wear or damage before each use. If there are any issues, replace them immediately. When not in use, store the rake in a dry place to prevent rust.
