Durable PitBull Silage Rake Marries Dozer Blade Power with Bucket Control

Tube-Line Manufacturing has launched the PitBull Silage Rake, a highly versatile tool designed to efficiently move large quantities of silage material across bunker silos with minimal disruption to the packed surface.

Combining the best aspects of a dozer blade and a bucket, the PitBull Rake allows operators not only to push material but also to carry it, offering superior control and precision.

Similar to a dozer blade, the PitBull Rake features a large push plate that can push and pile silage within the bunker. Additionally, it incorporates solid tines along the bottom and bale spears on each side, functioning like a bucket to carry substantial amounts of material.

This dual functionality makes it particularly effective for filling low spots or stacking silage along bunker edges without disturbing previously packed material.

When carrying silage, the push plate can be advanced forward, gently pushing material off the tips of the tines to drop it precisely where needed rather than pushing it along the surface. This design prevents disruption to the silage that’s already tightly packed.

The PitBull Rake also boasts a high-visibility design, which improves operator accuracy by making it easier to see the tines during operation. This is especially helpful when cutting down high spots and shaping the final contour of the bunker.

Its flexible and user-friendly design makes the PitBull Rake an essential tool for filling and shaping bunker silos efficiently.

Tube-Line Manufacturing backs the PitBull Rake with a two-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring reliable performance for users.
