Hauler Handles Round And Square Big Bales

Hauler handles round and square big bales HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 17-3-29 You can retrieve and unload either round or square big bales with a first-of-its-kind hay hauler from Wilson Mfg., Inc., Cherokee, Okla. The flatbed hauler loads itself with an up-front, hydraulically-activated fork and unloads bales either in a line by tilting the bed upward and sliding them off, or it raises up to a 90• angle to unload them in a stack. It can also be used to retrieve stacks of round or square bales. Available with either a straight hitch or gooseneck, the bale trailer swings out to the right or left in the field to pick up bales and swings back behind the tractor or pickup for transport. Holds four big round or square bales, although the rear upright forks can be laid down horizontally to haul a fifth bale. It's fitted with a scissor-type 9.3-ton lift hoist for unloading and two 3 1/2 by 20-in. cylinders on the front loading fork. A single 4 by 8-in. cylinder swings the trailer hitch in and out behind the tractor or pickup. It's fitted with four 11L-15 8-ply tires on floating axles. New bale hauler can be powered by tractor hydraulics, by a pickup equipped with a hydraulic "wet kit", or by its own gas engine-powered hydraulic pump. Retails for $14,500.
