One attachment. Complete confidence at feeding time.
The new Rata Bucket Shear has been designed to simplify feeding while giving farmers complete confidence that every load is handled cleanly, efficiently, and with minimal waste. Combining the versatility of a heavy-duty bucket with the precision of a shear grab, it is the ultimate all-in-one attachment for handling grass silage, maize silage, and round silage bales.
Whether you're loading silage from a pit, cutting into compacted maize, or splitting wrapped round bales, the Rata Bucket Shear delivers a clean, consistent cut that preserves the feed face and helps reduce spoilage. Its unique cutting action also allows operators to cut round bales in half while retaining the plastic net wrap, making feeding quicker, cleaner, and safer with less manual handling.
Designed and manufactured in New Zealand for demanding agricultural conditions, the Rata Bucket Shear is built with the strength, reliability, and attention to detail that farmers have come to expect from Rata Equipment. Every feature has been developed to remove frustration from daily feeding tasks, helping operators work more efficiently while protecting valuable feed.
At Rata Equipment, we believe great equipment does more than move material—it provides **Care & Certainty**. Care for your livestock through consistent feeding, care for your investment through durable engineering, and the certainty that your equipment will perform day after day when it matters most.
