Just need to sort your tines out. Once you loose one it puts extra pressure on the one next to it. Get the 2 big outside ones fixed then bend all the others straight again and she will keep going for years. Couple hundred quid in tines and bushes plus afew welding rods. Better then few grand for new grab.
Hello, Alan could do demonstration on shear grabs🤔. Bit cheaper than buying one. Farm flix is a big brand. Great advertising for engineering, red rock, Johnston, Fleming????? 👌👌👌👌
Love the Farm Flix Fridays, keep them coming! As for the shear grab I would recommend a Prodig as they seem to be the best out their. We recently got one of their grabs and I would definitely recommend it!
Great video. Near the end of lambing and Alan hasn't had a sense of humour failure! Bit wicked of Tom to make Alan think he was getting a new Merlo though.
had a shear grab for 17 years and she was welded numerous times to be fair to it though it spent 17 years cutting single chop silage from an NC harvester
Redrock is the only shear grab. Can the front blades can be replaced very easily as they are bolted in also the side knifes are bolted in. Built very strong and last long. We have one in our yard safely 20+ years old
Have a 6ft parameter shear grab that my old fella bought second hand in 2002. Still got the original cutting edges on it. We did make a new tine bar for it around 2006 but other than that it's been faultless. Wonder why parameter went out of business. 🤔
Prodig or maybe quicke are built like tanks and would last even a rash lad like yourself years and years 😉 we have a quicke ourselves and has almost all 3/4 inch thick steel on all the frame
Are you sure you can still get a new mchale shear grab . I thought they stopped making them 8 or 9 years ago that its just the bale splitters they make now ??
Could go on Done deal and buy a couple of grabs the same model and disconnect and close up the rams on 1 youd be alright in a emergency or for spare rams, sell the old 1 on there to help pay 😂
I say get a johnson sherr crab good make we got a brand new 1 back in 2019 and nothing has broke on it yet.Don't forget u have to get ur wallet out to buy ole tom his new quad😂😂
Its a Johnson one he has already? I bought one at the start of the year. Pretty disappointed with how much you can fit in it. It doesn't open up enough at all. MC Milkingit channel has a good one on a jcb.
"Yes let me just run off here to go grab a pair of latex gloves and stretch them on while that ewe is having a hard time birthing" because literally every farming man and woman has the time to do this.
