Bale Sweep Picks Up Bales Fast Clean BALE HANDLING “Our claim to fame is we aren’t dragging hay on the ground ” says George Krizenawski owner of Rocky Mountain Bale Sweep who designed and sells the hay accumulator for small square bales He came up with the design in 2007 with the goal of creating a reasonably priced accumulator that could be used with a skid steer or front-end loader with a quick-attach system “The bale sweep is forgiving; the forks will follow the contour of the ground and not dig in ” he says because of the spring-loaded front end It also picks up the hay instead of pushing it across the field where it can pick up rocks and dirt scrape off leaves and wear bale strings No hydraulics are needed just the skid steer or tractor controls Powder-coated and made in the U S the accumulators come in five sizes from a 3-pack to a 10-pack ranging from $2 500 to $4 000 The most popular size is the 8-pack Krizenawski says and it can be operated with a 45-hp tractor or skid steer To accommodate the weight on the front tractors may need ballast in the rear tires or weight on the 3 pt hitch Once the accumulator is filled with bales it loads easily onto a wagon or stack on the ground Rocky Mountain Bale Sweep also sells a grapple and can ship anywhere Check out the video online and contact Krizenawski for more information Contact: FARM SHOW Followup George Krizenawski Rocky Mountain Bale Sweep P O Box 490 Joliet Mont 59041 ph 406 539-4507; www rockymountainbalesweep com; info@rockymountainbalesweep com
