Double Duty Hay Fork HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 15-5-22 New double duty hay fork has a"hingeable" spear that swings out to the side for unrolling bales.
"Lets one fork do the job of two implements," says inventor Stephen Mickleson, Cambridge, N.Z., noting that the innovation could be added to any existing hay fork. He's currently looking for a manufacturer to take over the idea.
Mickleson's unit has two bale spears. The left spear mounts rigid but the right spear is on a hinging frame, anchored by a sliding bar attached to a bracket at the center of the front-end loader attached frame. A chain across the hinge also provides sup-port.
To unroll abale, he simply spears the bale through the center with the right spear, then swings the bale and spear out to the right side of the tractor and unrolls it along the ground.
