Are shear buckets a success ?

[tr250]

Why is it leavin the face on a slope and not straight cut

He’s just said above it saves digging the bucket in too far

We get it more vertical now, but, because your not ramming it in, the blade works down towards the tractor to a degree.

If you do any amount of bales they are going to save your body, cab door and steps some serious wear and tear.

How much weight of silage can you get in a bucket? The videos I've seen they don't seem to get much in? We swap grab and two different buckets when filling the tub and I think I would need several fills with the size of shear buckets when putting 500kg rolled barley/wheat for example. Or 350kg of liquid.

How much silage can you get in your bucket? Although it’s an advantage felt it would be slower putting concentrate in for 2-3 day mix even changing the bucket back to big grain bucket

I get about 750kg silage and 1000kg maize in mine,takes me about 15 minutes to put 6 tonne in my wagon including 350kg blend in that

That's impressive, I get about 400kg maize in my 1.6m shear grab.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but quite interested in a shear bucket just wondering about how much dearer are they over a bucket grab or a shear grab
