"No Power" Hay Hauler

"No Power" Hay Hauler BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 26-5-4 You can haul a load of round bales behind a pickup and unload them without a tractor with the new EZ-Haul Hay Handler from T&B Welding, Lockwood, Missouri. Todd Patterson, co-owner of T&B, says the tandem axle trailer, available with either bumper hitch or gooseneck, can haul five to eight big round bales at a time, loaded by a tractor. To unload, you simply pull a lever on the side and the trailer pivots to the side. "It takes only a little effort to raise it high enough so that the weight of the bales completes the job," says Patterson. Patterson says the simple system requires no electric motors or hydraulic cylinders. With an optional feeder rack, you can load the trailer with bales and leave it in the pasture as a hay feeder. T&B equips the trailer with 16-in. wheels on which are mounted your choice of 10 or 14-ply tires. Each of the tandem axles is rated at 6,000 lbs., giving it a 12,000-lb. load rating. It features electric brakes and lights on the frame. The EZ-Haul Hay Handler sells for $2,875, plus shipping, and has a two year warranty.
