Hand Cart Hauls 12 Bales at Once HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 13-4-33 "Anything that saves time and effort is welcome in my one-man operation and this bale cart works great," says Bill Mushake, Rice, Texas, who designed and built a 12-bale 2-wheeled hand cart.
Mushake uses the cart both for feeding and when baling. "I used to go back and forth between barn and feeder carrying two bales at a time and getting jostled by cows all the way. I get done much faster and easier. After baling, I use the cart to accumulate bales into a number of piles so loading them onto trailers requires fewer stops and less walking," says Mushake.
The cart is about 80 in. long and 21 in. wide with two 38-in. uprights at one end. It stands 22 in. off the ground. Weighs 95 lbs. The main frame was fashioned out of 2-in.
electrical conduit while most of the bracing was salvaged from a junked hide-a-bed sofa. The axle is a standard small trailer type with spindles attached. Mushake bought the 12-in. wheels new. Total cost was about $70.
