Tractor 3-Point Linkage drawbar hitch & Bale Fork Combo

Two Jobs, One Attachment
Your time matters, and every attachment needs to earn its place on your farm. The Rata Drawbar/Bale Fork Combo brings towing and bale handling together, with drop-down tines that let you carry an extra bale on the rear of your tractor. That means more bales moved each run and more use from one investment.

Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Two Jobs, One Tractor

Combines towing and bale handling in one attachment, so both jobs don't compete for loader time.

Less to Store, Less to Buy

One combo attachment means less separate gear cluttering the shed and less capital tied up in it.

Tines secured out of the way

Fold-up bale tines lock securely when not in use, reducing exposed projections around the rear of the tractor.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    Fold-Down Bale Tines

    Drop-down tines let you carry an extra bale on the rear of the tractor, so each feed-out run moves more bales while the front loader works too.
  • 02

    Tines Lock Away Securely

    When not needed, the tines fold up and lock securely, reducing exposed projections around the rear of the tractor.
  • 03

    Excellent Operator Vision

    A swept centre tower keeps the tow hook in clear view from the seat, so hitching and de-hitching are quick and free of guesswork.
  • 04

    Spring-Loaded Safety Flap

    The safety flap auto-locks the towing eye once hitched, keeping trailers and implements securely connected on road and paddock.
  • 05

    Replaceable Pin & Wear Plate

    A bolt-on high-tensile hook and bolted steel wear plate can be replaced when worn, extending the life of the hitch instead of replacing it.

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

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

“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!”
