Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Clean Crop, Less Dirt

Stepped tines lift fodder beet while the soil falls back out, so less dirt ends up in the feed or the trough.

No Dead Weight Hauled

Leaving the soil behind means you're not carting useless weight across the paddock for no reason.

Holds Up to Rocky Ground

A high-tensile cutting edge and solid bars keep working through stony, harsh conditions season after season.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    High Tensile Cutting Edge

    A high-tensile cutting edge and 25mm solid steel bars, not pipe, add wear resistance and rigidity, so the bucket also handles rock picking and firewood.
  • 02

    Adjustable Ground Skids

    Standard skids keep the bucket flat and stable when pushing into the crop, preventing nose-dives and letting you set the angle for a clean lift.
  • 03

    Excellent Dirt Flow

    An open rear with no cross bars lets soil fall straight through, so beet reaches stock cleaner and they eat more crop and less dirt.
  • 04

    Stepped Tines

    Stepped tines keep the leading edges close to the ground for more control, lifting fodder beet cleanly while leaving the soil in the paddock.
  • 05

Expert advice

Tips from the Rata team

  • The adjustable ground skids stop it nose-diving into soft ground, set them to suit the paddock you're working.

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

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

“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

We've got your back

Q: Can I use a Beet Bucket for anything besides beet? A: Yes, it also handles rock picking and split firewood thanks to the spacings of the solid steel bar design.
