Muck grab for loader tractor

[DrDunc]

Currently have an X form (cherry products) 6 foot 6 wide, but wondering if my loader will cope with something a bit bigger, and if so, what?

Can't find anyone who makes anything bigger for a loader tractor. Keep looking at telehandler ones, but maybe they're too big for a loader tractor? Current grab is small compared to my bucket..... Any recommendations?

Quickie do 7'6 and 8'2

Telehandler one will be too big and heavy by far. Our Grab is 6’6 and tractor with 1600kg loader wouldn’t look at it.

On mucking out its easy enough to get more on than a 2.7 ton rated telehandler is capable of.

Thought you'd a deutz

Get a grab wide enough for tractor but not too deep as tractor can't handle.

Mx bucket grab, wide and shallow

Could be a bit sore on the front axle

There's already too many places I need to use one of those. They don't make them strong enough any more either. I keep breaking them ?

Aye this backend. Vario 'box.
Makes it an awfully nice place to spend a day.

The older ones weren't, but they are now. However I consider Quicke expensive for the implements, and the grabs definitely aren't as well made as the likes of the X form.

A grab nearer the tractor width would definitely make it easier to muck out.

Not sure they're any good for rehandling bales? Can't imagine they'll pick up 4 round straws at a time like you can with a muck grab?

Surely the capacity isn't big compared to a "conventional" grab either?

Looks smart, quite a few appearing round these parts as well , John Deere have blown it I’d say .

I have a narrower one, pick 2 4 ft rounds up ok. Nip them. I find it handy to bust a bale in the yard then scoop them up to bed a pen of big bulls. Then go in and pick up some cattle cake and fill the troughs. I muck out box muck with it too. Wouldn't be without mine.

7', 7'6.

The valtra will be a good 30hp less than the Deutz. That’ll stop you breaking them

4 round bales at a time? How can you see to drive?

Definitely a better width. X form steel, who makes them? Are they as well made as the eastern attachment cherry products branded ones?

Easy enough around the yard unloading and stacking. Just look at the sides. In the field just lift them up. No point piddling about one at a time!
