Low-Cost Way To Add Dual Wheels To Baler

Low-Cost Way To Add Dual Wheels To Baler BALERS “I had trouble with my round baler sinking into peat ground so I came up with an inexpensive way to mount dual wheels on it It greatly improved flotation ” says Arlo Greenberg Elk River Minn He bought another pair of 15-in flotation tires identical to the ones already on the baler then fitted an old 13-in car wheel rim between each set of tires Then he ran 4 long threaded bolts through holes already in the car wheel rim to tie all 3 wheel rims together “It works great and is a quick way to make duallies without spending any money ” says Greenberg “I sell hay to local horse owners and farm a lot of low ground where a baler can easily get stuck The car wheel rims are made from really tough metal so they stand up to hard use The rims fit perfectly between the valve stems without interfering with them I use neoprene nuts on the bolts and tighten them occasionally to keep the tires secure “I used the same idea on a small square baler only I used narrow 15-in implement wheel rims instead of car wheel rims The narrow implement wheel rims fit perfectly ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Arlo Greenberg 21217 Nowthen Blvd NW Elk River Minn 55330 ph 763 241-9953
