Baitmax

Precise Slug Bait
A 12-volt electric motor meters slug bait across a 12 to 18m spread width at rates from 2 to 20kg/ha, instead of hand-scattering and hoping it's even. Precise application means slugs are actually controlled and pasture or crop yield stops quietly leaking away before it's grown.

Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Fewer Slugs, Better Yield

Precise 12-volt metering targets slug bait where it's needed, protecting the crop yield you've already invested in.

No Over- or Under-Dosing

Application rates from 2 to 20kg/ha mean bait goes down accurately, not guessed by hand-scattering.

Wide Coverage, One Pass

A 12 to 18m spread width covers more ground per pass, so arable blocks get treated faster.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    Up to 18m Spread Width

    Spreads slug bait from 12 to 18m wide, covering arable blocks faster with fewer passes and less time on the bike.
  • 02

    Application Rates of 2-20kg/ha

    A front shutter lever sets rates from 2 to 20kg/ha, so bait goes down accurately at low rates instead of being wasted through over-application.
  • 03

    Protective Motor Casing

    The 12-volt electric motor sits inside a protective casing, shielding it from knocks, dust and weather in the field.
  • 04

    Seat-Mounted Hand Controller

    A wiring loom and hand controller come standard, so you can start and stop the spinner and open or close the aperture without leaving the seat.
  • 05

    Auto On/Off for Drills

    An optional proximity-sensor kit switches the spreader off when the drill lifts at headlands and back on when it re-enters the ground, avoiding waste.

Expert advice

Tips from the Rata team

  • Fit the auto on/off kit if you're mounting to a seed drill, it saves you flicking the switch every pass.
