摘要

A mounting device (10) for securing a grapple tooth bar (16) to a loader bucket (12) or fork (13) includes at least one guide arm (30, 32) rotatably secured to the loader bucket (12) or fork (13) and having a distal end. A grapple tooth bar mounting bracket (24) is attached to the distal end of the guide arm (30, 32) where the grapple tooth bar (16) positions within the grapple tooth bar mounting bracket (24). The grapple tooth bar (16) is removably secured to the grapple tooth bar mounting bracket (24) with at least one securing mechanism (26, 28) such that mounting device (10) can be mounted to loader buckets (12) or forks (13) of varying widths and can accept grapple tooth bars (16) of various lengths.
