Abstract
A grapple is constructed for quick attachment to and detachment from holders of an implement carrier. The implement holders of the implement carrier are also designed for quick attachment to and detachment from an implement, such as a loader bucket, to be selectively used in conjunction with the grapple or alone. The grapple has provision for parking it in an attitude ready for attachment to the implement holders when the grapple is not needed for grasping the material being handled.
