I'm not a grease monkey so if we go ahead we will be asking someone to build it for us but I thought I might get some good advice on here (even if it is don't do it!)
We have a shear grab with a push off attachment but we would like to place the blocks length ways against our feed barriers, unfortunately we don't have enough space to access the barriers at right angles so we wondered whether it might be possible to make a headstock that can pivot the grab prior to pushing off the block. Will it work? We are currently trying to see if we can gently push the block around 90° with the grab but we are concerned that the block will fall apart. The idea is to keep the block intact so we can feed 2/3 times per week without silage deterioration.
