The new Rata Bucket Shear has been designed to simplify feeding while giving farmers complete confidence that every load is handled cleanly, efficiently, and with minimal waste. Combining the versatility of a heavy-duty bucket with the precision of a shear grab, it is the ultimate all-in-one attachment for handling grass silage, maize silage, and round silage bales.
Whether you're loading silage from a pit, cutting into compacted maize, or splitting wrapped round bales, the Rata Bucket Shear delivers a clean, consistent cut that preserves the feed face and helps reduce spoilage. Its unique cutting action also allows operators to cut round bales in half while retaining the plastic net wrap, making feeding quicker, cleaner, and safer with less manual handling.
Designed and manufactured in New Zealand for demanding agricultural conditions, the Rata Bucket Shear is built with the strength, reliability, and attention to detail that farmers have come to expect from Rata Equipment. Every feature has been developed to remove frustration from daily feeding tasks, helping operators work more efficiently while protecting valuable feed.
At Rata Equipment, we believe great equipment does more than move material it provides Care & Certainty. Care for your livestock through consistent feeding, care for your investment through durable engineering, and the certainty that your equipment will perform day after day when it matters most.
When every bale counts and every minute matters, the Rata Bucket Shear delivers the confidence to feed efficiently, minimise waste, and keep your operation moving. It's another example of Rata Equipment designing innovative solutions that help farmers achieve more—with equipment they can depend on.
“Don’t settle for imitations that can’t match our proven performance.”

"Way better than the four one bucket because there's less dirt when you pick up a bucket full. Most of the dirt falls out. You still get a little bit of dirt but nothing like, the four in one bucket. Good for knocking out box thorn. I've tried it on a few box thorns and they come out alright. Really good for cleaning up the roly poly on the fence line."
