Thanks for the reply will have a look at them.Have a 5ft nugent I'm well happy with. Brother has a redrock. I would rate both highly. The nugent is easier to close which I put down to the smaller cutting teeth then the redrock has.
That's interesting about the bushings thanks for the tipHave a Twose here. Done well for 10 years. Plenty life left in it too.
Make sure the quickee has tine bushings in the box section!
They sold me a muck grab without any! Dealer was adamant they were just welded flush into the box and blended in well!
There are so many different manufacturers of shear grabs it's hard to say who makes the best one, are you hoping to leave the blocks down intact, if so a cranked tine is essential, if you are just tipping the blocks off it doesn't matter.Hello All im looking to buy a new shear Grab 4' to4'6'' any suggestions on any good make that ye would have experience with and recommend the Local Garage sell Quicke and say they are great.
Yes I would hope to be taking out full blocks for one house never new that about the tines thanks.There are so many different manufacturers of shear grabs it's hard to say who makes the best one, are you hoping to leave the blocks down intact, if so a cranked tine is essential, if you are just tipping the blocks off it doesn't matter.
I learnt the hard way that I don't want a hardox grab!We bought a 6' Keltic With hardox tines. No bushings or keeping them tight, bought it to split silage bales as well as for bit. Absolutely a beast!!
