Is anyone using one of these or similar on a clamp? Looks ideal for use with a wagon unloading on the clamp.

Your buckrakes are our silage spreaders. Pretty much every farmer that does his own silage has one and an oldie can be picked up for peanuts.
I see in video's from your side of the pond that alot of times silage is just dumped in front of a clamp, which makes a silage spreader useless. I want every load spread over the full length of the clamp which makes a spreader king.
Just a different mindset.

I don’t think I know anyone that actually tips on a clamp here like you do,the geography of the farms are so different plus some places you would get contamination from mud etc off the wheels.

I had one for sale a couple years ago. Couldn't give it away
Any idea where it ended up? I used to do field heaps of second cut silage years ago, and used to drive up and over to unload the wagon. Saved so much time buckraking, and having to watch that the tines didn't rip up the clods etc. It would work great on open clamps and on these big concrete pads they are becoming common with the big dairy boys.
