Hydraulic Vari-Width Double Bale Handler
The Hydraulic Vari-Width Double Bale Handler has been developed for the transport of two 4’ wrapped bales without
damaging the film. This design minimises the time from field to storage without compromise to bale integrity.
The distance between the outside prongs on the bale handler is regulated by two independent hydraulic rams. These
rams allow the bale handler to grab and pick round bales regardless of size and shape. The prongs roll/spin on tines
as the bale handler is in operation, to ensure there is no damage to bale film.
The first round bale is picked using either side of the bale handler. The second bale is picked by extending the arm
of the empty side of the bale handler fully outward. The bale handler is positioned over the bale to be picked. Finally
the bale handler is lowered down and the outer prong is retracted under the bale.
• Handle two 4’ foot wrapped bales
• Handle misshapen bales
• Heavy duty construction
• Minimises time from field to storage
• 3-point linkage as standard
