The Rata Shear Grab is built for tractors with front-end loaders and telehandlers, giving farmers a clean, fast way to cut, grab and transport silage or maize from the stack. Through the combination of a unique serrated knife edge and a rounded front design, this silage shear grab leaves a sealed pit face to help eliminate secondary fermentation. The side walls and closely spaced grab tines also minimise silage and maize loss during transport.

Not every farm handles silage the same way. If you’re unsure whether a shear grab is the right attachment for your workload, talk to Rata. We can help you assess your stack type, machine size, required capacity and daily feeding process, then recommend a silage shear grab model that makes sense for your workload.
A shear grab is used to cut, lift and transport silage or maize from a stack while keeping the pit face neat and reducing waste during handling.
A good silage shear grab uses a sharp cutting edge, strong rams and well-designed tines to achieve a clean cut and secure hold, helping maintain feed quality and minimise loss.
Shear grab tines are closely spaced and often cranked to hold material firmly during transport, preventing silage or maize from falling out while moving across the yard.
Yes, most shear grabs are designed to work with tractors fitted with front-end loaders or telehandlers, making them a flexible option for different farm setups.
Rata’s silage shear grab has a serrated knife edge, rounded grab face, powerful hydraulic rams and closely spaced shear grab tines for cleaner cutting and better hold.
