Abstract: An improved sugar cane grab loader has a hydraulically actuated grab and supporting boom, and a mechanical pushpiler. The pushpiler has floating teeth to prevent undue ground penetration during its scraping action. The teeth move in free but limited fashion in a rearwardly inclined direction. The boom lifts the grab from the soil by a controlled height during closing action of the grab around the cane bundled on the ground.
