Best Skid Steer Attachments for Land Clearing

Land clearing is a multiphase job, and here’s how Stinger skid steer attachments for forestry and logging cover the full sequence.

Rock Grapple for Root and Debris Clearing

When the trees are down and you’re staring at a pile of brush, roots and debris, the rock grapple (ROG Series) is the tool for the job. The open-side tine design grabs and sorts bulk material while loose soil falls right through, with no wasted effort and no double handling.

Tree Puller for Standing Trees and Root Removal

The tree puller is one of the fastest ways to clear standing trees. Because it takes the root system with it, there’s no regrowth to deal with later. The STP-34’s ¾-inch Grade 50 jaws open to 34 inches, drawing the trunk all the way to the back of the puller for maximum pulling power on trees up to 10 inches in diameter.

Stump Bucket for Stump and Root Ball Cleanup

Once the trees are out, the stump bucket handles what’s left behind. The 52-inch spade and built-in serrated gussets break loose stubborn root systems so you can scoop, lift and load clean. If you need more clamping power for larger root balls, the stump grapple adds a curved top jaw built to lock onto tough root masses and compacted rock.

Match the Right Attachment to Your Machine Size

Each of our attachments comes standard with a universal skid steer mount plate compatible with Bobcat, John Deere, Kubota, Case, New Holland and most major brands. Use your machine’s rated operating capacity (ROC) to match the right width:

• Compact skid steers (up to 1,750-pound ROC): 60 to 66-inch widths
• Midsize skid steers (~1,750 to 3,000-pound ROC): 66 to 78-inch widths
• Large skid steers (3,000+ pound ROC): 78 to 88-inch widths

Land Clearing FAQs

Review the answers to these frequently asked questions to learn more about using skid steer forestry equipment and attachments for land clearing projects.

What is the best skid steer attachment for clearing trees on my property?

The tree puller is your most efficient option because it removes the entire root system in one pull. Follow up with the rock grapple to sort and move the debris.

Will a Stinger Attachments product fit my skid steer?

Our skid steer attachments ship with a universal mount plate that fits most major skid steer brands right out of the box.

What’s the difference between a rock grapple and a stump bucket for land clearing?

The rock grapple can grab and move bulk debris, such as brush piles, root masses and downed timber, while the open tines let soil fall through. The stump bucket digs and breaks loose root systems so you can scoop and load what remains after a tree pull.
