Hydraulic Round Bale Grab for JCB and Manitou Front End Loader, 2000kg SWL

Product Overview

Engineered for JCB and Manitou front end loaders and rated to a Safe Working Load of 2,000 kg, this hydraulic round bale grab gives farmers and agricultural contractors a purpose-built attachment for handling round bales of hay, silage, and straw with the speed and control that busy feeding and stacking operations demand. Available in dedicated JCB and Manitou variants, each bale grab is dimensioned to match the precise hitch geometry of its target machine, delivering a secure, rattle-free connection that performs identically to a factory-fitted attachment under full 2,000 kg working load. Whether you're moving bales from field to yard, stacking for winter storage, or feeding out across a large operation, this JCB and Manitou bale grab handles the full range of round bale tasks from a single, reliable attachment.

The grab arms open from 700 mm to 1,800 mm, covering the full range of round bale sizes from compact small-diameter bales through to large 1.8-metre diameter round bales without requiring adjustment or adapter changes between bale types. This wide opening range is a significant operational advantage on farms running mixed bale sizes or handling bales from multiple sources, as the same grab handles every bale in the yard without the operator needing to leave the cab or reconfigure the attachment. At the closed position, the arms grip bales firmly and securely for transport and stacking, maintaining consistent clamping pressure throughout the lift and carry cycle.

Long-term durability is built into the pivot system through greaseable pivot pins on the grab arms and greaseable bronze bushes in the hydraulic ram ends — a combination that maintains smooth, low-friction arm movement throughout the service life of the attachment even under the repetitive cycling that high-volume bale handling demands. Unlike sealed pivot systems that cannot be serviced in the field, the greaseable design allows operators to maintain the pivot points during routine servicing, preventing wear-induced slop and extending the working life of the grab significantly beyond what unsealed alternatives typically deliver. This maintenance-accessible design is particularly valuable for farm operations where attachment downtime during peak baling and feeding seasons is not an option.

The bale grab is supplied complete with hydraulic hoses and male hydraulic fittings, allowing direct connection to the loader's auxiliary hydraulic circuit without sourcing additional components or visiting a hydraulic specialist before first use. Operating at 16 MPa and 60 LPM, it runs on the standard auxiliary hydraulic output of JCB and Manitou loaders without modification, making it a genuine ready-to-work attachment from the moment it arrives on farm. For operations running mixed loader fleets or non-standard hitch configurations, additional brackets can be welded onto the attachment body to match specific loader specifications — a practical customisation option that extends the usability of the grab across a wider range of machines without requiring a separate attachment purchase.
