"Separator" For Big Square Bales
After years of success building and selling an “unroller” that turns big round bales into more user-friendly small square bales (first introduced in FARM SHOW’s Vol. 23, No. 6 issue), T. Whipple Simpson of Cochran, Ga., has just introduced a first-of-its-kind separator for big square bales that breaks bales apart and “rebales” them into small bales.
  Simpson says he’s already sold over sixteen of the new separators, which were introduced at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Georgia. “People have been amazed at how well it works. This machine lets you make big square bales in the field, which are faster and more efficient to make, and then turn them into small square bales for customers who don’t want to have to deal with big bales.”
  Simpson built the square bale “separator” at the request of commercial hay producers from all over the country who had seen his big round bale unroller. Sales now exceed 250 round bale units since it came on to the market, including exports to Australia and Canada.
  To separate a big square bale, it’s placed on a conveyor table that pulls it into a separator head that separates the flakes, dropping the loose hay onto another conveyor that carries it into a small square baler. The finished small bales are carried away by a bale elevator for stacking or loading.
