Farm buckets

A bucket for every job

Built for New Zealand and Australian conditions, Rata buckets handle everything from everyday loading to filling spreaders and feeding out, with the right shape for each job.

Built for whatever the day brings

One bucket, more jobs

Every Rata bucket is built to do more than scoop and tip, from clamping and pouring to metering feed and sifting out soil.

Less left behind

Rounded shells tip clean, while funnel and auger buckets put material exactly where you want it, with less spillage.

Built to wear well

Wear-resistant blades and bolt-on reversible cutting edges mean a longer working life and fewer parts to replace.

Buying advice

Choosing the right bucket

Choose the bucket for the job first, then the size. The right size depends on your machine's lift capacity and the weight of the material you move most. Size for the heaviest load you'll carry, so the bucket works safely within your loader's limits every time. Talk to your local dealer for their recommendation.

“We're in our second year of operation with the Rata Beet Bucket now.

We've just been transitioning some weaner heifers to beet over the past few weeks so it's been getting a lot of work just recently, it certainly saves us a lot of time and particularly a lot of man hours, so all in all the buckets done exactly what we asked of it.”

Common questions

What does a 4-in-1 bucket do?

A 4-in-1 bucket digs, blades, pulls back and clamps, so one attachment covers most everyday material handling. Close the clamp and it works as a standard bucket. There's also a compact version built for smaller tractors.

Which bucket is best for filling spreaders and seed drills?

The Rata Funnel Bucket. A hydraulic chute, run from the loader's third service, controls the pour when filling spreaders and drills, so spreading fertiliser and sowing seed start with minimal spillage. It's also popular for loading helicopter hoppers.

Can I feed out supplementary feed with a bucket?

Yes. The Rata Auger Bucket is built for supplementary feed, metering maize silage, palm kernel and grain through an auto-extending chute, while twin mixing agitators stop damp feed from bridging or blocking.

Does a beet bucket work for anything besides fodder beet?

Yes. Its solid steel bar construction also suits rock picking and moving firewood, with stepped tines that let soil fall back out.

Do Rata buckets come with a cutting edge?

Every Rata general purpose bucket has a bolt-on, reversible cutting edge for longer wear life.

Are there buckets to suit telehandlers?

Yes. Most buckets in the range come in telehandler versions, plus a Bulk Bucket built for high-capacity loading.
