Dew Eze Bale Fork Modified To Handle Bigger Bales
 ✖  |
Edward Curry, Youngstown, Alberta: "I had trouble unloading heavy bales with my slide-in Dew Eze bale fork that mounts in the back of my pickup. This is an older model that is otherwise a very serviceable unit. Rather than buy something new, I modified it so it can handle bigger bales.
"I installed a lift assist cylinder underneath the main beam. The ram pushes against a reinforced socket welded to the bottom of the main beam. It provides extra lift until the arms are almost straight up and then the regular hydraulics are sufficient.
"The assist cylinder is plumbed single acting into the lift circuit. The cylinder is a standard 3 by 8-in. ram which pins to mounts on the lower frame. The ram adds extra lift when unloading and cushions the drop when loading."
