How well does this work without a top grab ?

I want to convert an old silage cutter to muck grab, to use it on the frontloader, but also on the small tractors 3pt hitch because the barn is too low to get in with the loader tractor.

Would a 1.80 meter fork work at all on a 3pt hitch, or will it slide right off as soon as i drive forward ?

works fine on a forklift, probably wouldnt work on the tractor though as you wouldnt be able to tilt it far enough back to rip the muck out

Nice machine. Do you have to use the foot throttle to work the hydraulics or do they rev up automatically, like a Linde forklift truck?

[jamesfalky]

no it doesnt do it automatically, you have to do it on foot throttle

so dangerous when u slide it out to far carrying that weight i fell over with the merlo at my work today luckily nothing got broken:p

We've always used an old trip loader for mucking out, as long as you push in to the muck while lifting, it should stay on just fine.
