The lambing season is in it's final stages on Alan's farm but there's one or two ewes still struggling. This season hasn't been too bad, especially when Alan's nephew Caleb has been helping out. But one of the silos is almost out of grass and soon it'll be time to take the cover off the second silage pit.
...but with the shear grab losing teeth Alan might soon have to use a pitchfork and wheelbarrow.

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.

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. 🤔

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
