Pitbull Rake Designed To Move Silage, Haylage
 ✖  |
Tubeline Manufacturing has released the Pitbull Rake, a versatile tool for moving silage and haylage. By combining the traits of a dozer blade and a bucket, the rake makes it possible to both push and carry material. It can transport large amounts of material through bunker silos without creating disruption and is well-suited for pushing material up the bunk, filling low spots, or piling material around edges.
“It’s used for moving silage and haylage through bunker silos,” says Tim Wiebe, Tubeline representative. “Haylage can be hard to move with a blade. This rake makes it possible to lay the material down at the preferred thickness. The more it gets packed down, the less spoilage you have to deal with later.”
The key to the rake’s design is a push plate that can be advanced forward, pushing silage or haylage off the tips of the tines. This prevents it from potentially disrupting any material already in place. Push plate guides ensure smooth operation as the plate is extended and retracted. It’s ideal for situations where an adjustable plate would be restricted. Two hydraulic cylinders are powered through a 50/50 flow divider to engage the push plate. Bale spears are also mounted within the frame to reduce scraping and make it easier to carry large loads. Likewise, AR450 tines on the bottom allow the rake to easily pick up and move material.
The rake’s easy-to-use, flexible design provides high visibility to ensure that tractor drivers can always see where the tines are, improving accuracy when filling and shaping material. “The rake makes it easy to get a nice, even layer of silage at the bottom,” says Wiebe. “Regular blades just lead to balling up.”
This rake design, popular for decades in Europe, is ideal for both large and small farm operations. Says Wiebe, “Best of all, it’s just a fraction of the price of blades. And a 14-ft. rake will do as much as a 16-ft. blade.”
Tubeline offers two models: the RL series (100-200 hp.) and the R series (150-350 hp.). The back of both models includes bolt-on lugging for maximum compatibility with almost any loader. All Pitbull products come with a 2-year warranty to protect against defects. The company sells the Pitbull Rake through a network of distributors across Canada and the U.S.
