Move more bales. Protect your Loader.

Lift and move multiple square bales at once, cutting down tractor trips and protecting your machine from costly top-load damage.

Simple, Reliable Handling

Conus 2 bushes with German forged steel tines, and short centre tine give you dependable control when lifting, moving and stacking bales.

Built with your season in mind

Strong, practical construction is designed for regular bale handling, helping keep the work moving when there is no time to waste

01
Retractable High-Back Frame

Supports extend to 1740mm to secure stacked square bales in transport, then drop down easily when you need a lower working height in sheds or under trees.
02
Robust Construction

Engineered for frame rigidity and long-term durability in NZ and Australian conditions, so the fork stays straight and true through season after season of feed-out.
03
Excellent Tine Vision

A clear line of sight through the frame, combined with heavy-duty structural strength, makes stacking square bales quick and precise from the loader seat.
04
Forged Spring Steel Tines

Tines are forged from spring steel and held in a welded Conus 2 taper bush, so they resist bending and stay tight in the frame under heavy round bales.

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.

“We do about 4,000 individual wrapped bales per year, so its important to us to have Rata softhands to handle them, as they are really reliable, they don't break & are definitely the best brand we've ever used!
Because we've found Rata gear to be so reliable we also have multiple sets of their Bale Forks & Versatile Grapples as well!”
