"Big Mouth" 327 Grapple Rake
The Largest Opening Double Grapple In Its Class, 54"!
Introducing the third member of the Big Mouth Family, the 327 Series Big Mouth Grapple Rake. Made for the small utility tractor and larger compact tractor 40 to 70 hp. Available in two widths 63” and 72”. The 63” width with John Deere Brackets weighs approximately 438 lbs. while the 72” width weighs 486 lbs. The Universal Quick Attach versions are slightly heavier at 478 lbs. for the 63” and 526 lbs. for the 72”.
Each 327 Grapple Rake is fully plumbed and includes two supply lines and couplers. The 91.5” hose length option will generally reach the middle of the loader arm, where many of the selector valves are mounted on the tractor. If you have a valve mounted on the front of the tractor (commonly, this is where John Deere mounts their valves), you will need the 60” supply line hoses.
All pivot points are greased for long lasting wear. The rake tine spacing is 7” to 10". Both the 63" model and the 72" model have 9 rake tines which allow the operator to rake small or large material and at the same time sift the dirt. Each tine is reinforced and the end tines are reinforced on both sides for extra strength.

How do I choose the right grapple? (view)
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SHOPPING FOR A GRAPPLE
- Do you want to add a grapple to your existing bucket or remove your bucket and attach a grapple rake?
- Do you have auxiliary hydraulic outlets? If not, see accessories for Xtra Valve Kit. If you have a set of outlets in the rear of your tractor you might want to run a set of hoses from those outlets to the front of your tractor. Conceal them and secure with cable ties so the hoses do not get in the way. Now you can put couplers on the ends and have a disconnect point at the front of the tractor instead of having long hoses to manage.
- How do you intend to use the grapple? Cleaning barns, picking up loose hay, moving round hay bales, brush or construction debris? Choose the right grapple for your job.
- What is the lift capacity of your loader? Choose a grapple that is less than 50% of your loader lift capacity but still strong enough to do the job.
- What is your price range? This is a slippery slope. Choosing a low price grapple may cost you more in the long run, plus frustrate you.
IMPORTANT FEATURES TO LOOK AT WHEN CHOOSING A GRAPPLE
The width of the opening may be the most important feature of a grapple. A wider grapple opening means you can grab more material. Some are even wide enough to grab large round bales. Spacing of tines is important. For brush we think 6” is ideal. It is wide enough to sift the dirt yet tight enough to hold smaller brush. For rock buckets we think 3” is ideal for the same reasons. Single grapple or double grapple? We sell far more doubles than singles. Mainly because with a double grapple you can clamp down on uneven loads. Almost all brush loads will be uneven. A single grapple may be preferred for picking up even material such as hay bales. A grapple that weighs over 50% of your lift capacity may limit the material you are able to carry. Choose one slightly less than 50%. Getting one too light will be costly in the long run.
