“Two-In-One” Round Bale Feeder
This “2-in-1” round bale handler, developed by Irish manufacturer Darragh Egan at Ballyealan Engineering, lets you haul a bale and bale ring at the same time to a pasture and then lower the ring over the bale, without having to get off the tractor.
  The unit can be mounted either on a 3-pt. hitch or a front-end loader. It consists of 2 parts – a bale hauler with tilting forks and a hinged ring hauler that extends up and over the bale.
  To haul a bale and ring, the operator loads the bale onto the forks, then hooks the arm onto the top of the ring. A curved bar on the lower part of the arm keeps the ring stable during transport.
  To place the ring over the bale, the operator tilts the forks down and slowly drives forward at the same time to set the bale upright on the ground. Then he lowers the ring down over the bale.
  The arm can be removed whenever it’s not needed by pulling 2 pins.
  You can watch the unit in action on youtube or by going to https://www.facebook.com/ballyealanengineering/posts.
