Bale Hauler For Skid Steer Loaders
This new "bale grabber" is designed specifically for skid steer loaders. Lets you haul and stack both round bales and big square bales.
  The unit comes with bale grabbing arms attached to a steel plate that quick taches to the skid loader. It's designed to handle round bales up to 6 ft. in diameter and big square bales up to 6 ft. long. A hydraulic cylinder is used to telescope the loading arms in or out, which allows you to grab bales from their ends, sides, or around the middle. The unit stacks bales three high.
  "It's ideal for bringing bales into barns and sheds where loader tractors are too big to fit," says inventor Gary Walt. "It works a lot better than using a loader tractor to set the bale down outside the barn door and then finding a way to bring the bale inside. Another advantage is that skid loaders are much more nimble and work faster than loader tractors. Skid loaders may tear up the ground too much for you to use it in the field, but around the yard that isn't a problem.
  "It fits most skid loader brands and models. The only limitation is that the skid loader should have at least 1,800 lbs. of lift capacity."
  Sells for about $1,275 (Canadian). Hydraulic cylinder not included.
