22 Single Tractor Operation

Fully self-contained loading systems mean the only other machinery needed for a chainless balefeeder is an off-the-shelf tractor with 3-point linkage or tow hook.

There’s no need for any customisation of your pickup truck deck (unlike hay unrollers) or extra investment in a front-end loader, second tractor (for TMR), or skid steer loader. With a Hustler linkage feeder, you can simply disconnect the feed cradle and continue using the bale spears for shifting bales and pallets, and other loading duties.

Built in self-loading design. On 3 point hitch models the headstock disconnects from the feeding cradle and the bale is loaded with bale tines integrated into the head stock. No loader required. The patented total control loading system spears the bale and gently loads the bale on the cradle without tumbling the bale. The spears then withdraw and carry the second bale.

Pulling the wrap off a bale while loading it with spears on the disconnected headstock.

FIELD TESTIMONIAL

“We bought a Hustler unroller this year and it is the best money we have spent in for a long time, have hardly used a graipe this year. When word got out that we had one a lot of neighbours came to see it working and I know of 3 more in the area now, brilliant machine. It’s easy to control the rate of feed as its oil driven and she manages high density bales great.”
