Self-Unloading Pickup Bale Hauler

Self-Unloading Pickup Bale Hauler PICKUPS Miscellaneous 26-5-27 There are two key features that set the new E-Z Hay Hauler apart from all others: simplicity and efficiency, says the Weld House, Inc., Pella, Iowa. The tandem axle, self-unloading unit is designed to be pulled by a pickup. It's all mechanically-operated, with no hydraulics. A loader tractor is used to load bales one at a time from the rear, wish each bale pushed forward as a new one is loaded. To unload the bales, you pull back on a long lever that's attached to the cradle, which causes a pair of locks to trip. Once the locks are tripped, you pull up on the lever and the weight of the bales tips them over the side of the trailer. "There's nothing on it to go wrong, which keeps the cost down, and it eliminates the need for a tractor to unload the bales," says David Lovell. "It's a really efficient system. We've hauled up to 300 bales a day with only one tractor and one pickup. It comes equipped with brakes and lights." Three models are available - a 21-ft. receiver hitch model; a 25-ft. gooseneck or receiver hitch model; and a 32-ft. gooseneck or receiver hitch model. The 32-ft. model can haul six 5 by 6-ft. bales. Prices range from $2,295 for the 21-ft. model to $3,495 for the 32-ft. model. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, The Weld House, Inc., Box 174, Pella, Iowa 50219 (ph 641 828-1972 or 641 780-1942).
