The details
What makes it work
-
01 Manual Spinner Engagement
A simple pin-lock slider engages the drive and is held by a lynch pin, giving reliable operation with fewer parts to wear or fail. -
02 Galvanised Frame
A fully galvanised frame with extensive gusseting and a greaseable drive bearing resists corrosion, so the spreader keeps working for many seasons. -
03 Removable Agitator
Pull the lynch pin to remove the agitator and clean out the hopper base, preventing corrosive fertiliser build-up and extending the spreader's life. -
04 240L Capacity
Holds 240 litres (160kg of urea) with a spread width up to 12m, giving mid-size farms real capacity without paying for electric-drive extras. -
05 Gearbox Protection
Stainless steel plates and an oil-soaked felt washer seal the gearbox against fertiliser dust, reducing wear and keeping the drive running smoothly.

Customer story
Proven in the paddock
Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.
“From past experience I have been impressed with the durability and simplicity of the gear.”
“The product is quality, and they stand behind it.”
“Rata is built around service. They've been brilliant, not just when they sold us the product, but the support along the way.”
“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!”
“I've saved time. I've saved energy. It takes the place of about three men. It's invaluable, really.”
“It's paid for itself ten times over. Easy.”
“It gets punished every week, and I've never had a single thing go wrong with it.”
“You cannot damage these things. They're bulletproof.”
“You could ask me about their warranty, and I'll say I don't know, because we've never broken anything.”
“I can pick up branches. I can carry hay bales. I can rake up the ground. It's just time saving, back saving.”
“Swapping the Power Claw over to use other implements on the front of the tractor is child's play.”
“We give it a bit of a hard time and we haven't been able to break them yet. Just very well built, very heavy duty.”
“When you're raking up sticks and debris, you can get ninety percent of them with the Power Claw, instead of picking them up by hand.”
“It just hooks up to the quick hitch on your skid steer or the Euro hitch on the tractor. Plug in two hoses and off you go.”
“When I was getting quotes, I rang Rata direct and they were no trouble at all to deal with. Very friendly.”
“I'd hands down recommend the Power Claw to any farmers or contractors.”
“It's been the best thing I've spent money on. If you're on the fence without one, don't be. Jump straight over and get yourself one.”
“It makes all the tasking a breeze, and it's increased my productivity tenfold, easily.”
“I've worked it hard and I've belted it, and it just keeps coming back for more and more.”
“The ability to push the sticks with the rake open and just clean up as you go, instead of taking all that dirt, has really changed what we do here.”
“It's probably been the best attachment we've bought for the skid steer out of everything.”
“Even though it's a New Zealand company, and we're in the middle of central west New South Wales, nothing was a problem. Every phone call was answered, every email was returned, and the delivery time was spot on.”
“You can pull down a fence line by yourself, push it up and clean it up in quick time. It's basically a one-man job.”
“If you want to invest in something, you want to be able to do as many things with it as possible. Just the ease of being able to pull out fences and clean up fences in one machine without taking attachments off, really appealing.”
“We did it all over the phone, and it was great.”
“The first fork we got nearly exactly 12 months ago went straight on the loader, and I think it was just under 200 hours before the crop was put in, purely on sticks.”
“Picking up concrete, stuff you couldn't lift manually. Just pick up anything you can think of.”
“We wondered if it was possible to customise the fork. We didn't think they would, but we asked, and the answer was 'not a problem'.”
“My brother used it at another property to do the same thing, and he wouldn't let me have it back. So we had to order another one.”
“Way better than the four-in-one bucket, because there's less dirt when you pick up a bucket full.”
“We've cleaned up a fence line in no time.”
“It does the cracking down below. It leaves all the clay down the bottom and doesn't bring anything up. I found that to be very good.”
“We've done probably fifty hectares so far with this machine. No wear at all.”
“It's been a great machine. I recommend this machine to anyone, really.”
“Using the Rata mole plough has been a game changer for this property.”
“Really happy with the drainage we've been able to achieve in this paddock. There's no mud, conditions are dry.”
“They dropped it off, helped set it up on the tractor and gave us a demonstration, so we could get the most out of the mole plough.”
“Rata offer a brilliant service. They've helped us out at the weekend just to keep the mole plough working.”
“The Silage Grab has performed very well, and the Quick Hitch makes the job so much easier.”
“Very high rated, so I can virtually pick up any load. They've definitely helped me out!”
“The silage grab has performed very well throughout the season.”
“They've definitely helped me out this season, and we're looking forward to doing more business with them.”
“Going forward, we do need some more things from them. We're happy with the product.”
“I'm all about working smarter, not harder, and this Power Claw certainly does the job for me.”
“It saves me time. It saves me labour. It saves having to employ other people.”
“Even though it's a New Zealand company, nothing was a problem. Every phone call was answered and the delivery time was spot on.”
“If you want to invest in something, you want to be able to do as many things with it as possible.”
“Being able to pull out fences and clean them up in one machine, without taking attachments off, is really appealing.”
“The first fork went straight on the loader. It did just under 200 hours before the crop went in, purely on sticks.”
“Highly recommend it, especially if you want it custom made. Very easy to deal with.”
“Coupled to the telehandler, it's even better again for reach and manoeuvrability.”
“We've got two sets of Rata Softhands that have done 80,000 bales between them.”
“We decided to buy a third set because they're strong and reliable, and we haven't had problems with the other ones.”
“We've got about 15 Rata implements, from grabs, forks and buckets to a Maxitill and aerator, and we've had no issues with them at all.”
“Very happy with all the Rata gear we've got. I recommend them to anyone. Strong and reliable for doing big numbers.”
