Wagon Carries Bales And Feeds Them, Too
A big bale handler from E-Z Trail quickly converts to a portable bale feeder by adding removable side panels.
  “The feeder panels slide out to an 11-ft. width when the trailer’s loaded with bales and then slide into a 5 1/2-ft. width as the cattle press toward the center while feeding,” explains Abe Kuhns, E-Z Trail. “Special hinges allow the panels to slide freely, even when one end slides ahead of the other.”
  Loading the wagon in feeder mode is easy, too. Both panels hinge on one end. Slip in a dolly wheel and swing the panel open to load from the side.
  Panels can be quickly removed to return the wagon to bale transport status. Each panel is held in place by a single pin.
  The wagon has a 16,000-lb. capacity and a 90-in. wide wheel tread. It comes with low profile, 2600 x 12-in., 12-ply flotation tires. It carries up to 8 round bales and can also be used to feed square bales.
  “The CF890 is built for long life and outdoor use with vital components of E-Z Trail’s steering system weather protected,” says Kuhns. “The E-Z Hitch tongue pins up out of the way to stay clean and prevent freeze-down during winter.”
  The self-cleaning cradles eliminate spoilage from mold and mildew found when bales rest on the ground. At the same time, cattle can clean up loose hay that falls through the cradles before it is stepped on.
  E-Z Trail sells direct to their customers. The CF890 is currently priced at $4,500.
