You can count on John Deere Grapples to pick up a load the fi rst try.
The innovative G-III Series Grapples are designed with
two hydraulic cylinders, one for each tong, so they adjust
to each load with a secure grip. Closed-center, load-sensing
hydraulics maintain constant pressure on the tongs from
start to fi nish. Box construction with three internal ribs
on each tong makes them stronger without adding weight.
The single-function arch simply lowers and raises the
grapple head. It’s most productive working where it can pick up
tightly bunched piles in a single pass. Dual-arch geometry
uses four cylinders to reach out as well as lift. It pulls the load
over the rear for the best weight distribution and heavy load
control over longer hauls.

A high torque motor drives the grapple
through 360-degree continuous rotation.

Standard decking blade has a
replaceable, weld-on cutting
edge of high-carbon material
for longer life.
A heavy-duty blade (optional on
the 648G-III, standard on the
748G-III) is wider at 9-ft 8-in
(2,95 m) with a heavier weld-
on cutting edge for more tire
protection and improved weight
distribution.
