Bale Shredder Loads Itself

Bale Shredder Loads Itself HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 20-5-32 You won't need an extra tractor to put a bale in this new shredder which will handle virtually any kind of bale in any condition, ac-cording to the manufacturer. The new Jiffy shredder is fitted with a set of bale forks on back. "It's more reliable than other bale shredders on the market because of our unique bale rocking mechanism. By rocking the bale instead of trying to turn it, we are able to effectively shred any bale without it getting stuck in the machine including old, de-formed, rotten, or frozen bales, square bales and soft core bales," says Clem Kuelker of Kuelker Mfg. Ltd., Didsbury, Alberta. It features a large tub with capacity for one 7-ft. dia. round bale or up to 20 small square bales. The rotor has a swing dia. of 25 1/2 in., which provides a spread pattern of up to 45 ft. Only three moving parts means the shredder is more maintenance and trouble-free than most others, Kuelker adds. It rides on 12.5L by 15 tires and can carry a second bale while shredding. Sells for $11,979 (Canadian). Contact: Kuelker's Mfg. Ltd., Box 160, Didsbury, Alberta, Canada TOM OWO (ph 403 335-3389; fax 4580.)
