The hydraulic Webb grab could be slewed through 360 degrees and was used to lift manure into muck spreaders, or sugar beet into a cleaner / loader mounted on the front of the tractor. The operator's precarious seat can be seen at the back. An entertaining article on a novice's experience with the grab: http://www.ytmag.com/articles/artint205.htm
