The Rata Blog

"We have tried all the other brands and we are stuck on Rata and are looking at another set in the near future. We started with the Rata brand back in the old days and we have stuck with it and always specifically order Rata. Really happy with these quick hitches and we wouldn't use anything else".

Most of us that use forks or rakes of any kind will be able to recall that moment of a bent or broken tine, and we know how it happened, right?

It's not what you want part way through any job because it's going to effect productivity and in the case of the silage, often the broken parts are nowhere to be found and you know the lost part is going to damage something else like a chopper or tyre...best case is the broken part is found before the damage is done. Not to mention the replacement cost.

There is no telling, tines get used for everything in between being used for their intended purpose, so a broken tine can be expected through shear overloading or impact. 

With trees blown down, a few roofs lost & widespread damage from a windstorm 2 years ago Rob Taylor of Greenthorpe NSW Australia was looking for something to get the job done & make things easier. Listen as he tells us how much better a Power Claw is after only having used stick rakes & hay forks.
