Low Cost Way To Feed Big Bales

Low cost way to feed big bales HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 17-2-29 You'll like the price tag on this new combination "cart and lift" system for feeding big round bales in tie-up or stanchion barns, or any place else where there is a need for the bale to be spread out for feeding. A portable lift, equipped with a hand winch, loads bales onto the round table of a 4-wheel steer cart which is used to transport bales to the feeding area. You manually unwind the bale as you move the cart along the feeding alley. The lift sells for $540 (Can.) and the cart for $640. The cart's 22 in. dia round table is mounted on tapered roller bearings for easy turning. A hand lock prevents undesired rotation. A parking brake engages when the cart handle is up. The cart is 19 in. high; track width (outside to outside) of the wheels (4.8 by 8) is 28 in. The portable lift for loading bales onto the cart handles 4 to 5 ft. dia. bales. Bales can be lifted from any position. Bales stored outside can be loaded onto the cart with a tractor loader grapple fork. Also available for stationary use, such as unwinding bales from a second floor into a stable below, is a cart with a skid-mounted round table.
