The Virnig Hay Bucket Grapple combines a solid bucket floor and hydraulic grapple for handling hay bales and silage. The bucket supports material from below while the grapple holds it against the attachment, giving operators a way to handle both loose agricultural material and larger loads with one tool.

A ¾″ × 6″ weld-on edge forms the bucket's leading working surface. Unlike an open skeleton grapple, the bucket floor retains loose material that would otherwise fall through the lower frame. The upper grapple adds load retention when the material is too bulky or uneven to remain secure in a plain bucket.

NitroSteel® cylinder rods and Teflon®-coated bushings equip the hydraulic pivots for repeated opening and closing. Select the bucket width and weight around the loader and the material being handled. Check the carrier's rated capacity for the complete load, particularly when a large bale moves the center of gravity forward of the bucket.
