Estimated shipping only — your final shipping cost is confirmed at checkout.
The Prime Attachments HD Dual Clam Grapple is a heavy-duty skid steer grapple built for logs, brush, roots, demolition debris, and other loads that do not sit evenly across the attachment. Two independent grapples move separately around the material, helping your skid steer maintain a secure hold when one side of the load is taller, crooked, or shaped differently than the other.
Built with 1/2″ bottom tines, 3/8″ grapples, replaceable digging teeth, and grapple stops for back dragging, the HD Dual Clam gives skid steer operators a versatile attachment for land clearing, property cleanup, forestry work, and material handling. It is available in 68″ and 74″ widths and is designed for small- to mid-frame skid steers up to 75 HP.

What is the Prime Attachments HD Dual Clam Grapple designed for?
The HD Dual Clam Grapple is a skid steer attachment designed for handling logs, brush, roots, fallen trees, demolition debris, and other irregular loads. Its two independent grapples make it especially useful for material that is uneven from one side of the attachment to the other.
What makes the HD Dual Clam different from the HD Clam Grapple?
The standard HD Clam uses one full-width grapple that closes across the attachment as a single unit. The HD Dual Clam uses two independent grapples, allowing each side to move around the load separately.
When is a dual grapple better than a single grapple?
A dual grapple is especially useful when handling uneven material. One grapple can close farther than the other instead of forcing both sides to stop when one side contacts the load first. This can provide a more secure hold on crooked logs, tangled brush, roots, and mixed debris.
Do the two grapples move independently?
Yes. The HD Dual Clam uses two independent grapples, allowing each side to conform to the material separately.
What sizes are available?
The Prime Attachments HD Dual Clam Grapple is available in 68″ and 74″ widths.
How thick are the grapples and bottom tines?
Prime builds the HD Dual Clam with 3/8″ grapples and 1/2″ bottom tines.
Can I use the HD Dual Clam Grapple for back dragging?
Yes. Prime equips the attachment with grapple stops that make back dragging and final skid steer cleanup work more practical.
Are the digging teeth replaceable?
Yes. The lower tines use replaceable digging teeth, so worn teeth can be serviced without replacing the complete attachment.
Is the HD Dual Clam good for logs and brush?
Yes. Logs and brush are some of the applications where the independent grapples are particularly useful. Each grapple can adjust to different material heights, helping secure crooked logs, branches, roots, and uneven brush piles.
Does the HD Dual Clam require high-flow hydraulics?
Prime does not specify high flow as a requirement. The grapple requires auxiliary hydraulics to operate its cylinders. Always verify your skid steer’s hydraulic specifications and connections before ordering.
What size skid steer should I use?
Prime recommends the HD Dual Clam Grapple for small- to mid-frame skid steers up to 75 HP. Horsepower alone does not determine compatibility. Your skid steer also needs adequate rated operating capacity for the attachment plus the material being carried.
Note: Compatibility depends on your skid steer’s rated operating capacity, horsepower, auxiliary hydraulics, quick-attach mounting system, and the weight of your intended load. Always verify your own machine’s specifications before ordering. A model appearing below does not guarantee compatibility with every year or configuration.

Prime Attachments provides a two-year manufacturer warranty on attachment welds, subject to Prime’s warranty terms and exclusions.
Get a better grip on uneven loads. Two independent grapples allow each side of the attachment to close to a different position, helping your skid steer maintain a secure hold on crooked logs, tangled brush, roots, and mixed debris.
Handle irregular material without fighting a full-width grapple. When one side of a load sits higher than the other, each grapple can conform to the material instead of depending on one fixed position across the entire attachment.
Dig, grab, carry, and clean up with one skid steer attachment. The open bottom tines and replaceable digging teeth help gather material before the grapples secure it for transport.
Back drag after the heavy lifting is finished. Grapple stops make the attachment useful during final cleanup, reducing the need to switch skid steer attachments just to pull loose material back into place.
