Read articles →This is a John Deere/Frontier product demo pairing a 2025 compact utility tractor with a Frontier root grapple, showing attachment setup (loader carrier, third-function hydraulics, iMatch hitch) and then using the grapple to pick up dead branches and load them onto a trailer. It's a task-focused how-to rather than a full review, with brief technique tips on approach angle and grapple positioning, aimed at owners considering a root grapple for cleanup work.
This is a John Deere/Frontier branded instructional video, not an independent review, so expect a product-promotion angle throughout.
Slide the loader carrier into the top hangers of the root grapple, lift and roll back the carrier so the grapple falls into place, lower it, then insert locking pins.
Drive the grapple into the pile with the bottom level with and slightly off the ground and the grapple wide open to maximize the volume grabbed in one load.
A third function hydraulic valve is added to the tractor, allowing the root grapple to open and close.
The 120 loader used has a lift capacity of more than 1,000 pounds.
