Mounted Processor Quickly Spreads Baled Materials
The Top Spread™ Bale Processor from Arts Way Mfg. makes short work of spreading baled hay, straw or other materials in livestock pens or on newly seeded bare soil. Model 664 handles bales up to 6 ft. long and Model 864 handles bales up to 8 ft. long. Both models have universal mounting brackets that work on skid steers or telehandlers. Hydraulic capacity of 20 gpm is required along with a 14-pin electrical plug as well as a loader with 2,500 lb. lift capacity.
Bales or loose materials are easily loaded onto the processor as the operator tilts it forward and into a vertical position. Steel forks on the base then act like a pallet fork to secure the bale or materials when the Top Spread is tilted back to the horizontal position. Top Spread is controlled in-cab with a joystick and push button control.
Material is shredded by rotating metal blades and thrown out the left side of the unit in a swath from 20 to 30-ft. wide, depending on the hydraulic flow sent to the beaters.
Prices start at $21,000 with wiring harness, mulch kit, adapter and shipping extra.
