2021 MDS Manufacturing Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple Base

2021 MDS Manufacturing Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple

The PATENTED MDS IRON EAGLE QUADRA-GRIP GRAPPLE works like a hand gripping a baseball, pulling and squeezing the material firmly into the bucket. It exceeds the three characteristics a grapple should have. (1) minimal closing gap between the bucket cutting edge and the grapple tines when the grapple is closed, (2) a large opening when the grapple is open and (3) 3x the clamping force (11,000 pounds) of any other grapple. No other bucket and grapple manufacturers have met these desired characteristics.

The Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple opens to 86” and clamps down with 11,000 pounds of vertical clamping force with impact resistant grapple tines. Heavy duty GREASEABLE hinge pins and dual action cylinders deliver this power like no other grapple. The dual action grapples do not operate independently yet react independently depending on the irregularity of the load, and they sequentially maintain a constant clamping force throughout the entire motion of the grapple. Every grapple in the industry hangs well over the bucket’s cutting edge. The Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple leads the industry with minimal grapple overhang.

MDS recommends a tractor PTO rating that exceeds 100HP and a minimum loader lifting capacity of 4,000 pounds. The Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple is available in BLACK and GREEN. Factory grapple installation is available for a nominal fee.

A grapple that exerts 11,000 pounds of vertical clamping force requires an extreme duty bucket or the bucket could literally fold under pressure. MDS continues to offer a world class bucket that is the preferred bucket for dealers across North America.

The IRON EAGLE QUADRA-GRIP GRAPPLE mounted to the MDS “E” Series One Yard Bucket offers amazing strength and excellent wear characteristics and cuts down on chore time.

MDS “E” Series One Yard Bucket (Euro/Global/JD Classic) is a top selling bucket at MDS. It is built to withstand the force of the Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple. MDS “E” Series One Yard Bucket is 100% Grade 50 Steel including a heavy duty shell and end plates with reinforced leading edges and wear runners to prolong the life of the bucket. The backbone for this bucket is an upper torque tube and an integrated lower torque tube. For added strength MDS uses a weld on and bolt on cutting edge. MDS “E” Series One Yard Bucket is available in BLACK, GREEN and ORANGE. MDS uses the “A” Series Bucket for the John Deere Tier II Global loader applications.

The MDS “E” Series One Yard Bucket is offered to John Deere, Kubota, AGCO, CaseIH, New Holland, McCormick dealers along with dealers that offer an aftermarket loader with a Euro style coupler. The Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple will work on any previously built MDS “E” Series One Yard Bucket with welded grapple mounts. Grapple can be sold separately and field installed.

The Iron Eagle Quadra-Grip Grapple is the preferred grapple for one yard buckets
