SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT –READ BEFORE USE
This manual is provided to assist you in getting the best results from your machine and ensure
that you do so safely. If you have any queries about the use of the machine contact your
dealer before use. Please keep this manual for future reference.
INTENDED USE
The intended use of Albutt Buckrakes and grass forks (B700, B800 and B900 Hardox and
forged tines) is for the safe handling of uncompacted grass, maize and wholecrop silage into
silage clamps. This product must only be used for this purpose and under no circumstances
should be used as a lifting device or access platform.
1.1 FUNDAMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
On delivery, your dealer gave you an explanation of the operation and maintenance of this
Albutt attachment. Please read and understand these operating instructions before operating
the attachment for the first time. It is essential that you observe all safety instructions.
Incorrect use or mishandling of the machine can endanger:
Life and Limb of the operator, other persons or animals within the vicinity of the machine.
The machine and other material assets of the owner or third persons.
The performance of the machine.
Anyone who is involved in the commissioning, operation or maintenance of the Buckrake
must read and understand these instructions very carefully and observe them at all times.
NEVER DISTRACT ANYONE WHO IS USING A MACHINE.
1.2 AUTHORISED OPERATORS
Youths under the age of 16 must not operate this attachment. The owner of the Buckrake
must provide the operator with the operating instructions and make sure they have read and
understood them. Only then may the bale handler be put into operation.
The owner must ensure that only authorised persons operate/work on this Buckrake. The
owner is responsible for keeping any third persons or animals out of the working area of the
machine.
THE OPERATOR MUST BE FULLY TRAINED BEFORE USING THE IMPLEMENT ESPECIALLY
WHEN MOUNTED ON A TRACTOR LOADER OR TELEHANDLER. A SAFE DISTANCE OF AT LEAST
10M MUST BE OBSERVED BY ANYONE WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE BUCKRAKE.
1.3 GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS
Ensure the implement is correctly and securely attached to the operating vehicle using three
point linkage mounting points. Only use genuine Albutt pins.
When not using 3 point linkage always use the correct mounting bracket and ensure that it is
fitted by a trained and competent operator who has been approved by your Albutt dealer. It
is recommended to use an Albutt interface plate for optimum performance.
NEVER attach to a tractor which would be rendered unstable when the implement is
operated at its full capacity. Take note of the maximum load permissible on loader or linkage
arms.
Take extra care when operating machinery on sloping ground. NEVER operate on ground
where there is a risk of the tractor becoming unstable.
When the unit is stationary always ensure it is lowered to the ground.
When detaching the implement from the tractor always ensure that it is stable and safely
positioned on a level surface.
The attaching and detaching of the implement must be carried out by only one operator.
There should not be any other people in the vicinity of the implement or in the tractor.
Before operation make yourself familiar with all elements and controls of the machine as well
as their functions.
EXTREME CAUTION must be taken when emerging onto the public roads. Tine guards and
warning lights must be fitted. It is recommended that you transport your Buckrake on the
public highway using a trailer.
Before operation inspect the area around you. Keep children away. All visitors and
unauthorised persons should be kept well away from work area at all times.
Under NO circumstances should anyone, authorised or otherwise attempt to use the
Buckrake as a means of personal transport. It is designed as a specialist purpose farm
implement and is unsuitable for the safe transportation of passengers. NEVER allow anyone
especially children to travel anywhere between the tractor and an implement.
NEVER use this implement to lift items other than loose material into a silage clamp or pit.
Any attempt to overload the machine will risk life and limb of the operator and immediately
invalidate warranty.
To avoid personal injury keep hands and limbs well away from the moving parts.
ENSURE the implement and silage, do not restrict the forward vision or important sightlines
of the operator when mounted on the front of the tractor.
ENSURE that the operator is aware of the large overhang when the implement is mounted on
the front of the tractor.
Always keep the Buckrake and load as low as possible to maximise stability. When operating
on the clamp keep the surface as level as possible to avoid lumps and soft spots which may
lead to rollover.
NEVER attempt to move the implement manually.
NEVER bulldoze silage with the gate anywhere but fully closed.

1.5 Fitting the Buckrake to the tractor
The Albutt range of Buckrakes are fitted with a range of holes for top and bottom links to suit
a large variation of tractors.
Fit the lower links in a position where the Buckrake will just touch the floor when they are in
their lowest position.
Fit the top link in the highest hole possible for your tractor to cause the Buckrake to crowd as
it is lifted.
Extend the top link so the tine tips touch the floor at the same time as the tine box section.
NEVER extend the top link to a point where the is only a small amount of thread left in the
top link sleeve. If this situation occurs, shorten the top link and position in a lower hole.
1.6 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For all Albutt Buckrakes:
1) Ensure the gate is fully retracted.
2) Approach the silage and lower the Buckrake to the floor just before reaching the silage.
3) Lift the load of silage on the fork.
4) Carry the silage up the pit and unload over a large area by pushing out the gate whilst
moving.
5) Roll this silage down before pushing more grass over the top. This will produce higher
quality silage but will also ensure a firmer and more consistent silage pit for safer
operation.
6) When clearing up the floor, ensure the gate is fully retracted allowing the wear strip
underneath to scrape the floor.
1.7 HYDRAULIC SAFETY
CAUTION The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Ensure that only high-pressure hoses are used to connect supply to the attachments hydraulic
cylinder. Check hoses regularly and renew any that are damaged or worn. Hydraulic supply
must not exceed 207 bar & 80 L/min
Before working on the hydraulics lower the Buckrake, release the pressure from the system
and stop the tractor engine.
When connecting hydraulic rams make sure that the hydraulic hoses are coupled correctly.
Pressure should be released from the system both on the tractor and on the implement side
prior to coupling the hoses to the tractor hydraulics.
CAUTION Hydraulic oil forced out under pressure can break the skin and cause severe injury.
In the event of a hydraulic oil leak stop the tractor flow immediately. DO NOT PUT HANDS
NEAR A LEAKING PIPE.
1.8 MAINTENANCE
As a rule, disengage the driving system and stop the engine prior to carrying out maintenance,
servicing, cleaning or repair work. ALWAYS remove the ignition key.
Prop the machine with appropriate supports before carrying out any maintenance work.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damages or injuries caused by unauthorised
repair, alterations or mishandling of the product.
Maintain product with care. Check periodically for damage that would affect the safe
operation of the implement.
ALWAYS ensure all warning stickers are kept clean and in good condition.
Regularly check the bolts at the hinge points and tighten if necessary.
Regularly lubricate the hydraulic cylinder and hinges using clean grease.
Cover the chromed area of the hydraulic cylinder with a layer of grease during prolonged
periods of inactivity.
