The Star Industries 170DG-84 Demolition Grade Root Grapple Bucket is the ultimate wide-body, heavy-duty grapple attachment for skid steer operators working in the most extreme land clearing, demolition, and debris management environments. Spanning a full 84" in working width with a 20 cuft grapple capacity and tipping the scales at 967 lbs empty, the 170DG-84 is engineered to handle the heaviest loads, the densest brush, the largest rocks, and the most challenging mixed demolition debris — cycle after cycle, job after job. The separated bottom tine design ensures soil and fines sift out automatically during loading, keeping your loads clean, efficient, and targeted from first grab to final dump.

The 170DG-84 carries the full Demolition Grade specification upgrade over the standard 170 series: 9/16" thick grapple arms, 5" tine height, and a 42¾" bucket depth — all reinforced beyond the standard ½" grapple and 3½" tine dimensions — delivering a deeper, more powerful bite and significantly greater resistance to the fatigue, bending, and structural stress that high-intensity demolition operations demand. Combined with ½" plate steel sides and ½" tine thickness throughout, this grapple is designed not just to handle heavy work, but to outlast it. Every structural element has been engineered with longevity and performance in mind, backed by Star Industries' decades of manufacturing expertise.

Specifically recommended for track-style skid steers and machines rated at 70 HP or 3,500 lbs. lifting capacity or greater, the 170DG-84 matches the power of the most capable equipment in the field. HD welded hydraulic cylinders (2" × 10" × 1½"), hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers included, integrated hydraulic protection covers, and tube-shielded grease zerks all contribute to a package engineered for maximum uptime, minimal maintenance interruptions, and long service life in the harshest conditions. Proudly made or assembled in the USA by Star Industries, a trusted manufacturer of professional-grade equipment attachments since 1982.

• 84" Full-Width Demolition Grade Grapple — Maximum width in the Star Industries Demolition Grade root grapple range; ideal for operators needing the broadest coverage on open, large-scale sites.
• 20 CuFt Grapple Capacity — Large heaped capacity handles significant volumes of brush, logs, rocks, and demolition debris per grab, minimising repeated cycles.
• Demolition Grade Designation — Engineered for the most extreme job site conditions; specifically recommended for track-style skid steers and machines rated 70 HP or 3,500 lbs. or greater.
• Upgraded 9/16" Grapple Thickness — Heavier grapple arm steel than the standard ½" series ensures outstanding resistance to bending and structural failure under extreme impact loads.
• 5" Tine Height — Taller than the standard 3½", delivering a deeper, more controlled grip on large, oversized, and irregularly shaped materials.
• 42¾" Bucket Depth — Extended depth provides superior containment capacity for large and bulky loads including stumps, boulders, and heavy demolition debris.
• Separated Bottom Tines for Automatic Sifting — Dirt and fine particles sift through naturally during loading so only the targeted bulk material is retained in the grapple.
• Optional Intermediate Bottom Tines — Reduces tine spacing to approximately 4" for finer material retention when handling smaller or mixed debris loads.
• ½" Plate Steel Sides — Heavy-gauge structural steel side panels deliver maximum rigidity and long-term durability under demolition-grade operating loads.
• ½" Tine Thickness — Robust full half-inch tine construction withstands heavy repeated impacts and resists wear across extended service life.
• HD Welded Hydraulic Cylinders (2" × 10" × 1½") — Heavy-duty welded cylinders provide consistent, powerful clamping force to securely grip the heaviest and most awkward loads.
• Hydraulic Hoses & Flat-Faced Couplers Included — Ready for immediate field use; flat-faced couplers prevent fluid spillage and contamination during connection and disconnection.
• Built-In Fitting & Cylinder Protection Covers — Integrated shields guard hydraulic fittings and cylinders from rock strikes and debris impact, reducing field maintenance needs.
• Grease Zerks with Protective Tubes — Tube-guarded lubrication points remain accessible and undamaged in mud, gravel, and abrasive working conditions.
• Proudly Made/Assembled in the USA — Backed by Star Industries, a trusted American manufacturer since 1982.
