The details
What makes it work
-
01 Heavy Duty Frame
A twin RHS box-section frame with extensive gusseting and bracing carries up to 4,000kg, built to haul round bales across rolling country. -
02 Powerful Hydraulic Ram
A powerful hydraulic ram lifts and secures the heaviest silage bale loads, giving you confident, controlled handling when moving up to four bales. -
03 Minimised Vision Obstruction
Designed to keep sightlines clear whether loaded or unloaded, so you can manoeuvre safely around gateways, stock and other machinery. -
04 Four Bales per Run
Moves up to four round bales per trip from paddock to wrapper, truck or shed, cutting trips, fuel use and hours on the tractor. -
05 Counterweight for Your Loader
On the rear, the hauler acts as a counterweight so you can carry extra bales on the front loader, adding stability on hills and in wet ground.

It also works as a counterweight when carrying bales on the front loader, useful on rolling country where a trailer would struggle.
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.”
“We do about 4,000 individual wrapped bales per year, so its important to us to have Rata softhands to handle them, as they are really reliable, they don't break & are definitely the best brand we've ever used!
Because we've found Rata gear to be so reliable we also have multiple sets of their Bale Forks & Versatile Grapples as well!”
“We do about 4,000 wrapped bales a year. Rata Softhands are really reliable, they don't break, and they're the best brand we've ever used.”
“Because we've found Rata gear to be so reliable, we also have multiple sets of their Bale Forks and Versatile Grapples.”
“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.”
“These are our preferred bale grabs. Nice and thick, really strong, made tough. We do over a thousand bales a year.”
“It goes around and wraps the bale up, rather than going in and trying to squeeze the bale tight.”
“Perfect every time. No holes.”
“It's very easy to grease. It's got about six grease nipples, so you can grease it easily when you need to.”
