From stack to trough

Buck rakes build and pack the stack, while grabs, shears and forks take it from the face to the feed pad.

Protects the pit face

Serrated knife edges cut a clean, sealed face, helping keep air out and secondary fermentation down.

Less lost on the move

Side walls, closely spaced tines and strong clamping keep loose silage secure from the pit to the feed pad.

Buying advice

Building the stack or feeding it out?

A buck rake builds and packs the stack quickly at harvest. When it's time to feed out, shear grabs and bucket shears cut a clean face that keeps silage fresh, while silage grabs and forks shift bulk volume fast. Talk to your local dealer for their recommendation.

“I got hold of Rata when I needed a Silage Grab, Forks & Quick Hitch. From past experience I had been impressed with the durability & simplicity of the gear. The Silage Grab has performed very well & the Quick Hitch makes the job so much easier, this one is well up there! Very high rated - so I can virtually pick up any load.
They've definitely helped me out!”

Why does a clean pit face matter?

A torn or loose face lets air into the stack, which causes secondary fermentation and spoils feed. A clean, sealed cut from a shear grab or bucket shear keeps more of your silage fresh and ready to feed.

What's the difference between a shear grab and a bucket shear?

A shear grab grips and cuts silage in one motion. A bucket shear does the same, but also works as a bucket and can split wrapped round bales, so one attachment covers more jobs.

Does a Rata shear grab cut maize as well as grass silage?

Yes. The serrated knife edge and powerful hydraulic rams cut cleanly through both grass and maize silage, so it suits dairy and cropping operations alike.

What does a buck rake do?

A buck rake pushes and packs silage when you're building a pit silage stack. Rata buck rakes use forged spring-steel tines and a scissor-action push-off, with very little maintenance needed between seasons.

Will Rata silage attachments fit my telehandler?

Yes. There are front-end loader and telehandler versions across the range, and the Silage Grab also suits skid steers.
