Mover Retrieves Big Bales Fast
Irish dairy farmer Tom Carrigan can load 16 bales in 12 min. and unload them into a stack in less than 7 min.
  The trailer consists of 3 sections. The first is the loader. It holds 4 bales. The second section also holds 4 bales, but between sides. The rear half of the trailer is the tipping section. It holds 8 bales.   
  When 4 bales are in place, the horizontal forklift moves them to the rear between the sides. The process repeats until 12 bales are loaded between the sides of the trailer with 4 more at the front (video at farmshow.com).
  Carrigan is working with Cross Agricultural Engineering Ltd. to build Bale Chaser in 2018. (www.crossagrieng.ie; ph 011 353 45 524 134)
