Muck grab for loader tractor

[Bullring]

I load middened dung in the field with an 8 foot 6 bucket (the one pictured in the first post). Provided the tractors ballasted properly it's not a problem.

What I don't know is how it would cope with tearing out big lumps of fresh dung from the court using a bigger muck grab?


Aye, but would need to make time first

There’s a vast difference between what you can fit in a bucket and what you can get in a bucket grab weight wise. What’s the capacity of your 8’6 bucket.

My bucket is an HDV 260, so according to Quicke it's 1.85m³.

Edit
It's just shy of 1.5 tonnes of rotted cow muck when filling the spreader in the field.

A bucket grab is such a handy thing. Mine hardly comes of my manitou.

Agree with that
My bucket grab is 1.8m wide and it can hold a surprising amount of dung.

We had a MF 975 loader on a 6480. It handled a 6ft plus hardox albutt muck grab loading spreaders in field. Just didn't want to fill it right up!

What I believe to be an albutt handler grab on a t214 with 900kg or 2ton on the back was an excellent match for loading spreaders out field

Not 8' but dealer not to far away from you to get it down the road to get a look at.

I supplied one of my customers with this- this one is for JCB brackets but I can get them with any brackets needed, and pretty much any size. Dearer than some others but it'll last!

Thought this was pretty good!

Kind of hoping somebody else was using a telehandler grab on a tractor loader before I went out and did something silly ?

I have an Albutt C series grab 7’6” wide for use on my loader tractor. Had it quite a number of years, I fancied one in a local dealers yard but they refused to sell it me, said it was too big for a tractor/loader.
Shortly afterwards I saw a second hand one advertised with Chilton loader brackets to go straight on my loader so bought it.
It’s certainly a big grab on a loader and needs ballast on the back of tractor to get the most out of it but I wouldn’t be without it even though it doesn’t get the use it used to since I’ve bought a handler.

hi are these still for sale ?

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.

The trick with getting a grab full is to roll the whole thing forwards when the top tines have penetrated so that the base tines end up vertical.
We had a top clamp on a fork on a Sambron in the late ‘80s but that was superseded by proper top tines in the 90’s.
Used to be able to carry 6 4ft round bales up front on the Sambron with its top clamp.

Could be a bit sore on the front axle

Just needs a couple of tonnes stuck out the back as a counterweight.
