Tractor Tree Hog
The details
What makes it work
-
01 Root Digging Tines
Tines pull vegetation and dig out roots below ground, so boxthorn, gorse and small trees are removed properly instead of regrowing next season. -
02 Interlocking Plates
Interlocking plates grip tangled scrub and branches securely, giving you control when pulling and moving awkward material. -
03 60mm Pivot Pins
High-tensile, greasable 60mm main pivot pins with extra supporting bushes take the shock loads of pulling stumps and roots. -
04 Roll-Back Protection Plate
A roll-back plate supports long branches and stops them sliding towards the cab, protecting both the operator and the machine. -
05 Protected Hydraulics
Rams sit at the rear of the frame and hoses are routed out of harm's way, so tough clearing work doesn't damage vital components.

Customer story
Proven in the paddock
Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.
“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.”
“We've had it for eleven years, and it's still going. Love it to bits. Highly recommend Rata gear.”
“It's made really, really strong. It's really versatile, has lots of uses and it's good quality gear. You can't fault it.”
“That Rata claw is an awesome tool, man. It's working so hard, it's not funny.”
“There's only one thing better than a Rata Power Claw. That's two Rata Power Claws.”
“It's been a fantastic implement, especially when mowing. I pick up bits and pieces as I go and drop them off every now and again.”
“They're just incredible. Best bits of gear on the farm.”
“Because we've found Rata gear to be so reliable, we also have multiple sets of their Bale Forks and Versatile Grapples.”
“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.”
“You can see the log it's picked up. It's got to be two and a half tonnes. They're just incredible.”
