Three different types of silage grab compared: Grab a load

Last summer, implement maker Mammut contacted us to see if we would be interested in testing some of their kit. The Austrian manufacturer is probably best known in the UK and Ireland for its concrete pan mixers but it also produces a raft of other kit including clamp rollers, bale transporters and diet feeders. Also on the list, is a range of loader attachments.

• Silo Bucket SB 220M shear bucket
• Silo Cut SC 220M shear grab
• Silo Grip SG 220 Premium bucket grab
