"Chainless" Bale Unroller
 |
It consists of a curved steel cradle with a pair of beaters at one end that are chain-driven by a hydraulic motor. Extending a hydraulic cylinder raises the cradle to feed the bale into the beaters, which rotate the bale and also peel hay off at the same time. As the bale gets smaller, the operator continues to raise the cradle as necessary.
The simple, rugged design eliminates the need for apron chains and results in a more even windrow.
Sells for $3,740.
