VIRNIG V50 SKELETON TOOTH GRAPPLE FOR SKID STEER

The Virnig V50 Skeleton Tooth Grapple integrates aggressive digging teeth into a high-volume skeleton frame for skid steer loaders. Designed specifically for excavating compacted earth, this attachment allows operators to remove rocks and tangled roots that standard buckets or smooth grapples struggle to lift. The skeleton openings maintain weight-to-capacity ratios while the reinforced teeth break through surface crusts.

Monolithic Steel Tine Construction

Structural integrity takes precedence over assembly simplicity. Each individual tine is forged from a single piece of steel, eliminating welded joints that typically fail under heavy torsion loads. This monolithic build provides the resistance necessary for breaking hard layers of soil without buckling.

Advanced Pivot and Hydraulic Components

Extended lifespan depends on reduced friction at moving parts. All pivots are equipped with Teflon® coated bushings to minimize wear during rapid gripping cycles. The hydraulic system incorporates Nitrosteel® cylinder rods which resist corrosion and scratching more aggressively than standard chrome finishes.

• Included Gear: Comes standard with cylinder guards to shield hydraulic cylinders from falling debris.
• Tooth System: Utilizes Series 23 pin-on teeth technology for secure anchoring in various media.
• Application Scope: Suited for land clearing, trenching backfill work, and rocky soil excavation.

This model bridges the functional needs between a standard bucket and a dedicated auger, offering immediate versatility for contractors requiring rapid soil penetration combined with heavy material retention.
