Double Bale Carrier

Double Bale Carrier GRAIN HANDLING Augers (4) 7-6-9 South Dakota farmer Milo Sayler, of Menno, had problems with the tines digging into the ground when he tried to pick up 2 round bales at once on hilly terrain. He solved the problem by making a carrier with two sets of forks that hinge off the frame of his home-made bale carrier. Each pair of forks hinges independently, enabling the carrier to pick up bales sitting side by side on a hill, or on uneven ground. The pair of forks on the "high" side of the hill will slideover the ground rather than digging in, Sayler points out. The carrier is 5 1/2 ft. wide and the forks, spaced 40 in. apart, are made of 1/4 in. by 2 in. by 4 in. tubing. The carrier attaches to any Category II or III, 3 pt. hitch. Other uses include moving pallets, plywood and small buildings. Sayler custom builds the two-bale carrier for $570. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Milo Sayler, R.R., Menno, S.
