shear grabs/buckets

[farmer on a bike]

Has anyone experience of these shear buckets that can also deal with bales? The attachment weight at 850kg seems rather light for a 2.2m width when competitor shear buckets are 1400kg. The versatility is attractive.

We have one and it handles bales no problem, the plastic grab is excellent and makes the job very easy.

Is that the shear bucket version? How is it with clamp silage, in the video it seems to be taking only small grabs about half what the capacity would be if it had tines, I guess this is the limitation of the shear bucket design. Is it better in maize silage?

yes, but probably not fair to post on here. It is significantly cheaper than an Albutt shear bucket of the same size which does not have the bale upwrap facility, however it has a lot less metal in it.

i had a redrock shear bucket years ago but i had a jcb 426 loading shovel behind it its now a bale spike but was great just cant handle the pressure then had a Emily rotor bucket nice job but couldn't handle the pressure now have a triolitte triomaster perfect for us we use on clamp silage and round hay bales

This when we first used it, because the grab opens very high and you put the bucket edge to the face tipped downwards you get a decent grab. It certainly doesn’t seem half full.

Yeah had the small one on demo but was like a teaspoon got the biggest one they do here,yeah you don’t grab as much as a shear grab but you move across the face faster.can still get 800kg roughly of silage in it and ton of maize,the beauty of them is it leaves the bottom clean and nothing drops on the floor like a shear grab

Came close to buying on a couple or three years back.

Just couldn't get away from the rack they hold nowt. If you've any number of cows to feed it must get tedious driving backwards and forwards all day long.
