new shear grab prices

f140

anybody have recent prices for new shear grabs. was thinking of trading in my one now for next season. would I get a better price if I bought new compared to October?


want another 5ft one with brackets to suit a terex 860 with quick attach. what prices did ye pay

49801

I'd be curious too.
Current grab could do with new blades, re bushing a couple of tines and new ram seals. So needs a good few yo yo s spent on it now.

johnstonbros tyrone do a good keenly priced grab think they have an add on done deal will put what ever bracket you want on your grab.

What went wrong with it? Have one here a couple of years no problem with it yet. €1800 I think. Had a late 80s McKenna before that. Wouldn't rate it at all. Was in bits in no time.

Every other guy round here has one and they are on telehandlers and are doing the job well IMHO they cut a very clean block have a 2year old mc hale here and it would be slightly heavier than the johnston but it does not cut as well and its razor sharp

I wouldn't say anything wrong with the Johnston. 5'2" One here since 95 and still going strong, there's a crack across the top bar from cutting with only half the grab for years but even with tines worn back a bit at this stage its still cutting a good clean block every day!

Think the McHale was a 1000 euro dearer than the Johnston only difference I could see was the heavier tines.

Any one have a woods front end shear grab and if so what do you think of it ? Looking for opinion on them

TheSunderz

Have a Johnston 5ft here for 15 years. Another 10 yr in it a least! Excellent grab and cuts a clean block each time. Only ever broke one outside tooth but that was the brothers handling :P

Them thing are well made. Only thing is made from shocking amount of steel as in very heavy

Sold my grab yesterday as it was too heavy for my load all, local engineer made it, v fine grab but too much heavy steel for me. Which grab would be considered a "light" grab? Anyone have any experience of Fleming grabs?

That's an issue with some manufacturer s nowadays I think. They are making implements way to heavy for their purpose

oooge1

Yeah the woods one is in the yard of a local lad I deal with , I've found very little about them on line , made in Omagh if I'm right. I've looked at pro dig and it's a very well made machine , il definitely consider them in future right now I be keeping to budget ..

keep going

Second season with a johnson here and happy put with it

what about a shear bucket youd see advertised sometimes, so you have a bucket and shear grab, and will carry a bucket of ration aswell

Had one and sold it if you have a solid dry silage pit face it's a bull dozer you would need to drive it into it definitely not for a tractor with a light loader or possibly a heavy one for that matter

I've a mchale, very good in comparison to the last one I had, the name of which I've forgotten. What I have noticed is that it is strengthened is all the places the previous one cracked, broke or twisted. Have it 4 years now, it shifts c.800 tons a year, and I haven't had to sharpen the cutting edge yet.

Went through 3 nugent grabs in the space of 6 months dealer eventually replaced it with a mc hale / O Connor 7 years ago no problem with that one

I thought it was just me:pac:

I replaced mine with a 2nd hand Conor 4'4" 2 years ago, 900 euro from a local farmers son who reconditions them.

Delighted with it. The only 'fault' with it is the left side main prong gets loose from pushing in the silage with a wheel that this prong is used on.

You just drive into the bracket with the outside prong of the grab and drive straight down the row of silage.

I'm getting lazy in my old age:)

Big or small? I presume the Tyre turns to push the silage in. Good job? Beats using the link box or grab itself

The big one.

If it was offset by 6 more inches it wouldn't let the wheels touch the silage but that's a minor quibble.

It takes just a minute to push in 200 ft of silage.

Must put up a pike for sale ad:D

I been recommended a shear grab that is made by O Connors in Limerick.
Supposed to be 3 in 1. Bucket, sheargrab, and bale shear.
I think it's called the "OCE Multi-shear".

Any experience of it??
