Skid Steer Stump Grapple (STG)

I recently purchased a Compact Tree Puller (STP 34) from Stinger Attachments. This is the second attachment I have purchased from them. Several years ago I bought a Compact Clam Grapple (CCG 66). My review applies to both attachments. The design of both attachments is excellent, the manufacturing quality is exceptional, and last but not least, the customer service from the time I spoke to them through the delivery was first class. Within two days after I placed the order, the tree puller was on my tractor and in use. In addition, they are made in the USA. Of all of the attachments I have, these are two of the most valuable/useful. I completely recommend Stinger Attachments if you are considering the purchase of either of these implements.

Finally getting to use the grapple after having it all year and getting hydraulic lines run to rear remote. Will be a great help moving small trees, large limbs, boulders and digging out brush and trees.

Bought a 56” grapple and a stump post puller! Both exceeding my expectations! Both pieces hooked up easy, hydraulics were good. No leaks! Very easy to use, within a few minutes was picking up full loads. It was very easy to work with Brent took time to answer my questions which led me to purchase! Had 18 pine trees blown down by Helene in North Carolina some were 16” to 18” at used both attachments to clean up mess both working flawlessly!

I have one. I bought it because it looked both heavy duty and safer with a mounted guard that comes standard. I had to wait for delivery and as of now still don’t know quality of others. I’ve had heavy equipment in business before retirement and this one in my opinion is actually heavy duty. It is heavy enough that you can tear up your tractor/skid steer if not attentive. I have a John Deere 4052 R which is a 52 hp tractor. I have a John Deere style Quick-Tatch and bought a Chinese skid steer adapter. I immediately destroyed the adapter and had it repaired and beefed up. I tried to buy a JD adapter but had to wait for it to be manufactured. I did not wait. The beefed up adapter works good. I’m sure I have more money in it now than a JD unit but J D needs to get with the sales program. This tree puller is top quality and best of all-American Made. Welds and quality are top notch. You must be careful not to stress your power unit (tractor/skid steer) and break something as it is tougher than they are. I highly recommend one of these if you are in the market. They are unique and everyone that’s sees me using it is amazed at what it can do.

Fantastic! Works awesome. Lots of fun. Takes a little practice. Very dangerous to grab the tree and try to pull with the tractor in reverse! A heavy tree will stay in the ground and lift the back tires of my 2019 New Holland Work Master 70 with a box blade on and fluid in the tires.



Step 1: Push over the tree with the jaws OPEN to protect the piston. Push with the upper safety guard with the jaws pointed down at a 45-degree angle.



Step 2: (Optional) Cut the tree in half with a chainsaw (safe advice I have never done).



Step 3: Back up and grab the trunk. If the tree has a skinny trunk, drop the RPMs down very low to avoid cutting the tree in half.



Step 4: Lift the loader while going forward. The tree will come out.
