New tine grab from Nugent
 The 5’ Tine Grab has 6 curved tines on top, 9 straight tines on bottom and a straight tine on each side for extra strength. Photo supplied
NUGENT Engineering’s shear grab range has been complemented with the launch of the Nugent Tine Grab.
With a dedicated team of design engineers, Nugent Engineering has designed a heavy duty tine grab with first class performance capability and is available in 3ft 8in, 4ft 4in and 5ft.
The Nugent Tine Grab is designed with cranked tines for easy removal of the block and comes with bushed 30mm pins. The bottom hollow section is reinforced with 12mm wear plates allowing for extended life span and all movable parts have grease points to ensure longevity. The 5ft tine grab has 6 curved tines on top, nine straight tines on bottom and a straight tine on each side for extra strength.
All Nugent Shear Grabs come standard with a serrated blade cutting edge and Kverneland tines, along with 100mm hydraulic cylinders and self-lubricated bushings in all pivot points. The Nugent Shear Grab has been designed for a maintenance-free long life. The design of the elliptic front and the positioning of the pivot points allow this Shear Grab to produce a high capacity block with significantly less amount of pressure than its rivals.
The 2m/6ft Shear Grab, the largest in the range, has a middle blade to divide the silage block into two equal portions for ease of handling and is suitable for feeder wagons.
Nugent Engineering products include a wide range of Cattle Crushes, Power Sweepers, Yard Scrapers, Power Boxes and Cattle Handling Equipment and Bale Handling Equipment.

Wearing metal parts – and why APM is the natural choice
WEARING metal parts – it’s an area that’s seen farmers faced with a big increase in supplier options over the last 25 years with many would-be purveyors trying to jump on the bandwagon and present themselves as the authority on the subject.
APM Agriplant should know – they’ve been supplying farmers across the country since 1982 with a huge and ever-expanding range of agricultural products and have seen wearing metal bounty hunters rise and fall on countless occasions during that period of time.
“From a humble stockholding all those years ago of a few mouldboards, shins and plough points we now list over 1700 popular wearing parts in our range,” said Mac Coleman, APM’s general manager.
“Our new seventh edition catalogue – all 467 pages of it! – has been extremely well-received into the marketplace and the success of our wearing parts range is testament not only to the quality of the product but also to the quality of our service.“
One of APM’s most popular offers in wearing parts is their pre-season order programme which for more than six years has been giving APM’s loyal account customers the opportunity to secure pricing and a delivery date well ahead of the season without paying a penny up front. The invoice is only sent to the customer once they’ve received their delivery of required parts.
Mr Coleman continued: “As the first agricultural dealer in the country to stock tungsten wearing parts we know what we’re talking about when it comes to ultra long-life products. When our customers asked if there was a longer lasting metal product to cope with the broad spectrum of soil types in the Wessex area, we turned our sights to tungsten and haven’t looked back. We now list in excess of 200 tungsten parts and are continually researching and developing tungsten and other exciting new areas.”
