Bale Feeder Drops Hay in Bunches HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 15-5-23 "It's the best big bale feeder ever developed," says inventor Allan Henderson, Invercargill, New Zealand, about his bale feeder - which can be pulled by ATV, tractor or pickup - that self-loads and drops hay in intermittent bunches to reduce waste when feeding on the ground.
There's no hydraulics or electric equipment on the new feeder. It's ground-driven and has a walking beam axle that drives a set of unrollers with a cog system that unrolls the bale in stops and starts, leaving about a 10-ft. gap between hay strips. "That lets livestock gather all the way around a bunch of hay without trampling on the windrow," says Henderson.
To load a bale, you back up to it and lower the overhead lifter onto the bale, then insert two spikes, one from either side, and pull ahead.
Sells for $2,520.
