{"product_id":"star-industries-175-72-heavy-duty-skid-steer-grapple-bucket","title":"Star Industries 175-72 Heavy Duty Skid Steer Grapple Bucket","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Star Industries 175-72 Heavy Duty Skid Steer Grapple Bucket steps up from the 66\" model with a wider 72\" working width and an 18 cuft capacity, delivering greater coverage and throughput for operators tackling larger, higher-volume job sites. Combining the digging and scooping capability of a full-size skid steer bucket with independently controlled grapple arms that open an extra-wide 38½\", the 175-72 is engineered to securely grip, lift, and transport the most bulky and hard-to-handle materials — from brush and logs to scrap metal, concrete rubble, and mixed demolition debris — with outstanding control and confidence across every terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 175-72 is built on the same proven heavy-duty platform as the rest of the 175 series, featuring a ¾\" plate bucket bottom, 3\/16\" plate bucket back, ½\" plate sides, and ½\" grapple thickness throughout. The ¾\" × 6\" cutting edge is punched for an optional bolt-on blade, giving operators the ability to upgrade for more aggressive digging when required. End plates on both sides contain loose materials during transport, hydraulic hose lines are zip-tied to a heavy spring to prevent pinching during grapple operation, and built-in fitting covers protect hydraulic connections from field impact damage — practical engineering details that translate to less downtime and lower maintenance costs over the life of the attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 865 lbs empty weight and equipped with HD welded hydraulic cylinders (2\" × 10\" × 1½\"), hydraulic hoses, and flat-faced couplers included, the 175-72 is ready to go to work immediately across construction, landscaping, forestry, agriculture, waste management, and demolition environments. The wider 72\" opening covers more ground per pass than the 66\" model, making it the right choice when site conditions and machine capacity allow for a wider tool. 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
