Product Overview

The document details a range of Falcon Buckrake forks designed for agricultural and contracting use, focusing on silage pushing and forage handling. These forks vary in size, capacity, weight, and tine specifications to suit different operational scales and machinery.

Specifications by Model

• 9ft / 2.7m Buckrake: Capacity 5.4m³, Weight 1390kg, 40mm x 1600mm Hardox® tines, Fork height 1740mm, Double side tines, 50/50 flow divider, Greasable bushings on pivot points.
• 10ft / 3.0m Buckrake: Capacity 6.1m³, Weight 1550kg, same tine and fork height specs as 9ft model, designed for medium-sized farming and contracting.
• 12ft / 3.6m Buckrake (two variants): One with 50mm x 1750mm Hardox® tines, Capacity 7.0m³, Weight 2510kg; another with 40mm x 1600mm tines, Capacity 7.3m³, Weight 1630kg. Both have fork height 1740mm, double side tines, 50/50 flow divider, and greasable bushings. Suitable for tractor linkages and loader headstocks, capable of handling high forage volumes.
• 14ft / 4.2m Buckrake: Capacity 9.0m³, Weight 1738kg, 50mm x 1600mm Hardox® tines, Fork height 1780mm, designed for high horsepower loaders and tractors in fast-paced environments.
• 14.2ft / 4.33m Buckrake: Capacity 9.0m³, Weight 2738kg, 50mm x 1750mm Hardox® tines, Fork height 1740mm, similar features as above.
• 16ft / 4.8m Buckrake: Capacity 11.0m³, Weight 2940kg, 50mm x 1750mm Hardox® tines, Fork height 1750mm, ideal for large scale agricultural contracting and biogas plants.

Key Features

• All models feature double side tines and a 50/50 flow divider to optimize material handling.
• Hardox® tines provide durability and wear resistance, with thickness and length varying by model.
• Fork heights range from 1740mm to 1780mm depending on model size.
• Greasable bushings on pivot points ensure ease of maintenance and longevity.

Intended Use and Applications

The smaller models (9ft and 10ft) are suited for farmers and small to medium contractors, offering a balance of capacity and maneuverability. The 12ft models cater to higher volume forage handling, suitable for tractor linkages and loader headstocks. Larger models (14ft and 16ft) are designed for high horsepower machinery and intensive use in fast-paced environments such as biogas plants and large contracting operations.

Optional Extras

• Road Transport Guard
• LED Work Lights

Summary of Critical Parameters

Maintenance and Durability

The use of Hardox® steel for tines ensures high wear resistance. Greasable bushings at pivot points facilitate maintenance and extend service life. The 50/50 flow divider helps in efficient material distribution during operation.

Recommendations and Best Practices

• Select the buckrake size based on the scale of operation and machinery horsepower.
• Use larger models for high volume, fast-paced environments such as biogas plants or large contracting.
• Regularly grease pivot points to maintain smooth operation and reduce wear.
• Consider optional extras like road transport guards and LED work lights for enhanced safety and usability.
