{"product_id":"star-industries-170dg-72-heavy-duty-root-grapple-bucket","title":"Star Industries 170DG-72 Heavy Duty Root Grapple Bucket","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Star Industries 170DG-72 is the Demolition Grade evolution of the popular 170-72 Root Grapple Bucket, engineered specifically for the most punishing job site conditions where standard-duty attachments simply aren't enough. With a 72\" wide opening, a massive 19.7 cuft grapple capacity, and upgraded 9\/16\" grapple thickness — a full step up from the standard ½\" — the 170DG-72 is purpose-built to take on heavy demolition debris, large rocks, dense brush, and mixed materials that would put lesser attachments to the test. The separated bottom tine design allows dirt and fines to sift out naturally during loading, ensuring you're moving exactly what needs to go — and leaving the rest behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhere the 170DG-72 truly sets itself apart is in its reinforced construction and extended dimensions. At 42¾\" deep with 5\" tine height — compared to 3½\" on the standard model — the Demolition Grade grapple delivers a deeper, more secure grip on oversized, irregular, and heavy loads. The ½\" plate steel sides, 9\/16\" grapple arms, and ½\" tines combine to create an attachment that resists bending, cracking, and deformation under repeated impact loads common in demolition and heavy land clearing environments. At 950 lbs empty weight, this is a serious, heavy-duty tool built for serious machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 170DG-72 is specifically recommended for track-style skid steers and wheeled machines rated at 70 HP or 3,500 lbs. lifting capacity or greater, making it the natural choice for operators running high-powered equipment who need an attachment that can keep up. HD welded hydraulic cylinders (2\" × 10\" × 1½\"), included hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers, built-in fitting protection covers, and tube-guarded grease zerks round out a package designed for maximum uptime and minimum maintenance in the field. Proudly made or assembled in the USA by Star Industries, a trusted manufacturer of professional-grade equipment attachments since 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp;
