🔴⚫ A few new toys have turned up out front…

Fresh Rata gear has landed at Otautau Tractors, including a Silage Sabre Grab, Power Claw and Yard Scraper.

They’re all looking pretty flash sitting on the cobblestones at the moment… although we reckon they’d look even better covered in a bit of Southland mud and actually earning their keep. 😂🚜

Call in and have a look if you’re passing, or give us a bell if something catches your eye.

💨 Workshop fumigation day at Otautau Tractors… 💨

No need to call pest control — we just fired up the old IH dozer. 😂

A few minutes later we’d successfully fumigated the workshop, tested the smoke alarms, cleared everyone out… and possibly smoked out half of Otautau.

Good news is she made it inside under her own steam.
Plenty of steam. And smoke. Mostly smoke. 🤣

Just another normal day in the workshop!

🌾 Feeding out this winter? Don’t make life harder than it needs to be! 🔪

If you’re opening baleage every day, you’ll know how handy it is to have a good knife in your pocket.

These Quick Change Folding Utility Knives are ideal for:
✅ Cutting baleage wrap
✅ Silage plastic
✅ Twine and net wrap
✅ General jobs around the farm

The quick-change blade means there’s no mucking around when it’s time for a new edge, and each knife comes complete with 3 spare blades.

A simple tool that quickly becomes one you won’t want to be without.

Pop in and grab one next time you’re passing through!

🚜 One Bale Clamp… Two Jobs.

At Otautau Tractor & Machinery, we’re always looking for practical ways to make life easier on the farm.

That’s why we’ve chosen to do something a little different with our Rata Bale Clamps.

As standard, we order ours with a 3-point linkage mount.

That means you can:
✅ Use it on your front-end loader.
✅ Or simply hook it onto the rear linkage of your tractor when the job calls for it.

It’s a simple idea, but one that gives you more flexibility and gets even more value out of your equipment.

We believe the best products aren’t just well built—they’re the ones that solve everyday problems.

If you’re looking at upgrading your bale handling equipment, come in and have a chat with the team. We’d love to show you why we do things a little differently.
