Self-Loading ATV Bale Feeder

Self-Loading ATV Bale Feeder ATV'S ATV'S 15-5-22 There was a lot of new equipment for ATV 's at the New Zealand Fieldays, including this self-loading bale feeder that's designed to pick up bales in the field and feed them out into bunks or onto the ground. The self-containted unit has its own gas engine-powered hydraulic power unit. A rear-mounted fork fitted with a single hydraulic cylinder, picks the bale off the field and deposits it on the bale cradle. The cradle has feed-out chains that peel the bale off in layers, feeding it out to either side by simply reversing the hydraulic drive motor so that the operator doesn't have to worry which way the bale is placed on the unit. Sells for $3,000. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, McIntosh Bros. Engineers Ltd., P.O. Box 4240, Palmerston North, New Zealand (ph 06 3567 056).
