Silage Grab
McCormack Industries manufactures attachments for handling pit silage. When feeding or loading silage the capacity of your bucket can be increased significantly by the addition of a silage grab. The grab is bolted to the bucket meaning the grab can be removed if the bucket is required to be used for handling gravel or cleaning out pits. Similar to other McCormack Industries attachments it can be made to suit any model of tractor loader, telehandler, skid steer or wheel loader.
Features:
- Can be designed to fit your existing bucket (limitations apply)
- Require extra hydraulic function (third function)
- Ideal for pit silage
Shear Grab
To prevent an exposed face of silage from deteriorating when left in pits or covered on pads, McCormack Industries offers a Silage Shear Grab. It allows a block of the silage to be removed while leaving a clean cut face on the silage mound. A clean, cut face prevents rotting of the silage behind the cut face. Replaceable cutting edges are used to prolong the life of the attachment, it is available in a range of width and capacities to suit loaders to wheel loaders.
Features:
- Prolongs the life of pit silage
- Replaceable, knock out pins
- Replaceable spears
- Requires third function to operate cutter
Square Bale Grab
Perfect for loading into Feed Mixers
McCormack’s Square Bale Grab greatly reduces time and increases the safety in loading hay bales into mixer bins. The side squeezing action of the grab allows square bales to be taken directly from the stack, strings cut off at ground level and then dumped directly into the mixer bin. Simply lift the cut bale over the mixer and open the grab and the loose bale will fall in, no need to lean over the bin to remove strings. Two replaceable spears each side, operated by independent hydraulic cylinders can be retracted far enough to spear the bale to stack them hard side by side. This attachment can be made to suit all makes of skid steer, front end loader or Telehandler.
Features:
- The safest way to load bales into feed mixer bins
- Replaceable nylon slide
- Replaceable spears
- Available with paddle grab arms also
- Requires third function to operate grab
