    Better than ploughing in that regard. You are exposing less soil to the air.

    I'm starting looking for a new shear garb for next winter, looking for one that will do for bales as well as pit silage. 100hp 4wd tractor and I'm struggling to find a grab less than 600kgs weight.

    Tanco are E4500 and Prodig are E5500 for a 1.5m grab with plastic grab which is a bit more than I'm hoping to pay. Rossmore aren't answering their phones so who else would be making something similar out there?

    I just looked there now. They do shear grabs from 5' up but no information on whether there's a plastic grab available for them.

    I got a call back from Rossmore, they're off on 2 weeks holidays today. They have a 4'6" grab with plastic grab for E3200 but I'm not sure the strength would be in them like the other two above. It just looks like a normal grab with plastic grab attached.

    Do you not think that's very big for your tractor?

    I have a 4'4" already on and it's plenty big for me, tbh. But it's getting shook now so I'm thinking of replacing it but ideally with something that can grab the plastic as well as doing pit.

    The weights of 600kgs+ are putting me off going for a bigger grab but if that's the choice I have that can do both then I'll have to suck it up for a while and get a bigger tractor when I'm changing again.

    Prodig grab is over 740kgs and is pretty severe on a tractor/loader combo, the loader bracket bolts sheared here after 2 seasons and that was on a t6140 that was over 6 ton weight and it wasn’t even the boss of the grab you’d have to be careful on slopes our you’d tip over handy enough too...
    Useless for bales aswell as the Hardox times don’t spike the ball so you have to try and scoop it up, alright on concrete base but a disaster if bales are stored on clay.....
    Paid 4600 for the 1.5m grab so they have gotten dearer too

    When you say grab the plastic what do you mean? Are there shear grabs out there that can split bales also? I could do with replacing mine also, however I need something that can do pit silage/maize and lift bales.

    It doesn't look like the do a shear grab just a bale slicer. The plastic grab on that looks good though.

    I'll give them a shout on Monday just in case they do.
