{"product_id":"star-industries-175dg-72-heavy-duty-skid-steer-grapple-bucket","title":"Star Industries 175DG-72 Heavy Duty Skid Steer Grapple Bucket","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Star Industries 175DG-72 Demolition Grade Skid Steer Grapple Bucket is the entry point into the Star Industries Demolition Grade grapple bucket series — and it arrives with a full suite of heavy-duty upgrades over the standard 175-72 that make it one of the most capable 72\" grapple buckets available for high-powered skid steer operators. With a 72\" working width, a 24 cuft grapple capacity, and a 45\" grapple opening — up from 38½\" on the standard 175-72 — the 175DG-72 secures larger, more challenging, and more irregularly shaped loads with ease, making it the right choice for operators regularly working with heavy demolition debris, dense brush, large timber, and mixed bulk materials that demand a stronger, wider grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Demolition Grade specification brings meaningful structural upgrades at every critical point. The cutting edge steps up to a 1\" × 8\" blade from the standard ¾\" × 6\", delivering more aggressive digging performance and substantially longer edge life in hard, compacted, or rocky ground conditions. Bucket depth increases to 39\" with a 21\" back height for greater material containment, while the ¾\" plate bucket bottom, 3\/16\" plate bucket back, ½\" plate sides, ½\" bottom wear protection ribs, and ½\" grapple thickness maintain the robust all-steel construction that the 175 series is known for. At 1,090 lbs empty weight, this is a substantial, serious attachment that delivers Demolition Grade performance in a 72\" footprint well-suited to a wide range of full-size and track skid steer machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIndependently controlled grapple arms adjust for uneven and irregularly shaped loads, while end plates on both sides contain loose materials during transport for safer, cleaner handling across all terrain types. HD welded hydraulic cylinders (2\" × 10\" × 1½\"), hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers included, built-in fitting protection covers, and zip-tied hose lines on a heavy spring all ensure maximum field uptime and minimum maintenance interruptions. Specifically recommended for track-style skid steers and machines rated at 70 HP or 3,500 lbs. lifting capacity or greater, the 175DG-72 is 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\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures
