SILAGE BUCKET:
A silage bucket for front loaders is a special attachment used in agriculture for removing, transporting and distributing silage. It differs from a conventional bucket in its design, which is specially adapted to the requirements of silage processing.Important features and functions:
Robust design: Silage buckets are very sturdily constructed, often from high-strength steel such as Hardox, to withstand the stresses caused by compacted silage.
Gripper / upper gripper: The most outstanding feature is the upper, hydraulically operated gripping device (also called gripper or upper gripper). It is used to firmly compress the silage and transport it safely so that no losses occur. The grabs are usually equipped with robust tines.
Tines: The bucket itself, as well as the grab, are often equipped with strong, bolted tines that make it easier to penetrate the compact silage and ensure a good grip on the material.
Clean cutting pattern: A well-designed silage bucket enables a clean and smooth cutting pattern on the silage stock. This is crucial to minimise air ingress and the associated fermentation losses (reheating).
Versatility: In addition to silage removal, these buckets can often also be used to transport other materials such as compost, manure or straw.
Adaptation to carrier vehicles: They are available for various carrier vehicles such as front loaders on tractors, wheel loaders or telescopic handlers and are attached via a standardised attachment (e.g. EURO standard). In summary, a silage bucket is a specialised grab bucket that enables efficient and loss-free handling of silage on farms thanks to its robust design and hydraulic grab. A crocodile bucket for wheel loaders is a multifunctional attachment that is mainly used in agriculture, but also in gardening, landscaping and the construction industry. Its name is derived from the upper, hydraulically operated gripping device, whose tines resemble a crocodile's mouth when closed.
Design and function: The crocodile bucket is a combination of a robust bucket and a gripper.
The bucket: It forms the basis of the attachment and is used to pick up material. It is often conical in shape to make filling and emptying easier.The grapple (crocodile mouth): This is the upper, hydraulically movable part of the bucket, fitted with strong, forged tines. It closes on the bucket from above and holds the material in place to transport it safely.
Areas of application and advantages:
Versatility: It is a real all-rounder. It is ideal for transporting silage, manure, hay and straw. However, it can also be used for bulk materials such as soil, sand, gravel or even building rubble and branches.Efficient handling: The gripping tongs allow the bucket to firmly compress the material. This minimises losses during transport, especially with bulky or loose materials.
Clean working: Like the silage shovel, it enables clean removal of silage from the silage stock, which reduces reheating and therefore loss of silage quality.
Robust design: Crocodile buckets are designed for heavy-duty use and are often made of high-strength steel to withstand the high loads.
Customisation: They are available for various carrier vehicles such as wheel loaders, telescopic handlers and front loaders and can be adapted to the respective quick hitch systems. To summarise, a crocodile bucket is a versatile grapple bucket whose grapple mechanism allows it to safely and efficiently pick up and transport a wide variety of materials that a conventional bucket could not safely handle.
MANURE SHOVEL:
A manure shovel is an agricultural and animal husbandry tool used to move, spread or clean manure, dung and other organic materials. There are different types, such as a manure and silage grabbing shovel with tines for grabbing material or a special cleaning shovel for poultry manure.Types of manure scoops:
Manure and silage grab bucket: instead of a shovel, this variant has tines under the loading surface that are used to grab and transport silage or manure.
Cleaning shovel: This shovel is specially designed for cleaning dense poultry manure and helps to keep the stables clean.
Areas of application:
Animal husbandry: For mucking out stables and for cleaning work.
Agriculture: For moving and spreading organic fertiliser.
Advantages:
Efficient cleaning: Makes it easier to remove animal faeces and manure.Versatility: There are models that can be used for grabbing silage and moving manure
