Grab rotators (knock about)

[Will C]

I’m looking into timber grabs to put on a small loader, nothing remarkable in that but I cannot find knockabout grab rotators only hydraulic ones for sale.

Can any of you please help with what to search for to find a free turning rotator, I’ve tried looking up every term I can think of on google but to no avail 🤔

 

I think @Mick Dempsey has mentioned the grab on his multi one is a knock about.

Have a talk to RSL engineering I think they have made them if not they probably will.

Got mine from Hywel Evans, takes his time, but I was happy enough with it.

Have a Klou fixed grab as well now which comes out more often.

Thank you. I will give them a try, just got fed up of not finding what I was after

You could try James Silk agricultural company ltd  07909 110082. He is currently building me a log splitter, could set up! Out of interest why not a hydraulic, got to be easier than manual?

Seen plenty reckon that a free turning one is better for stuffing brash in a chipper, used with a heal will still move logs. (A fixed grab for logs is also a option)
Also reducing weight so can lift more and hopefully it wouldn’t be so long so get better lift height

I am open to ideas as that’s all it is at the moment

True,  pros and cons. Just a shame to buy twice (if that happens in the future). I know from my own experience I have done that machine wise. No great harm done though.

Had to come to to the wesh lads then mick. Not surprising really as most of us are top guns 👆 with the big guns 💪

I would stick to a knockabout on a smaller loader, significantly lighter and more versatile.

What loader are we talking about?
