Is the Limb Reaper compatible with my excavator?
The Rotobec Limb Reaper is a lightweight mini excavator grapple saw designed for tree care, land clearing, and disaster relief applications. Built by combining a Rotobec Mini PC grapple with a Hultdins saw, it delivers efficient cutting and material handling in one compact attachment.
Recommended excavator size
The Limb Reaper is best suited for:
- 8 to 10 ton excavators
- Approximately 18,000 to 20,000 lb operating weight
Machines in this range typically provide the stability and hydraulic performance required to operate the Limb Reaper. However, excavator compatibility depends on more than operating weight alone. The RGS-350 saw bundle requires a minimum hydraulic flow of 25 GPM at 3,600 psi, equating to approximately 52 horsepower to properly power the saw system.
Compatible excavator examples
- John Deere 85
- Hyundai HX85 or HX90
- Kubota KX080
- CAT 308 or CAT 309
Not recommended for smaller machines
For smaller machines, Rotobec recommends the Mini PC018 Grapple, which is designed to match lower machine capacities without saw operation
What the Limb Reaper is designed for
-
Cutting oversized limbs and branches too large for grinders
-
Handling and processing storm debris
-
Improving efficiency in tree care, land clearing, and disaster cleanup
When paired with the right excavator, the Rotobec Limb Reaper delivers precise cutting, improved productivity, and the durability Rotobec is known for.
