Small Square Bale Cart

Small Square Bale Cart BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 27-2-34 You can save wear and tear on your back when moving 2 or 3-tie small square bales by using this new Bale Kart. It lets you lift a bale from the ground and rotate it a quarter turn, allowing you to move the cart through narrow doorways or gates. With the bale contained in the basket, the ties can be removed allowing the hay to be fed out as needed. Any remaining hay can be left in the basket for the next feeding. To load the bale, you tip the cart down so the basket lays on the ground and then tip the bale into it. The weight of the bale holds it tight against the back side of the frame (with 3-tie bales, a T-shaped metal pin on the left side of the basket may be used to hold the bale in place as you tip the basket back up). To rotate the bale you simply push your hand against one end. Metal stops on a swivel plate keep the bale from rotating too far. Sells for $275 plus S&H. The company makes another cart that lets you lift bales off the ground and move them without ever touching the bale. The cart is equipped with a 2-position handle. With the handle in its lowest position you push the forks into the bale. Raising the handle to a higher position allows you to raise the bale off the ground. The process is reversed to unload the bale. Sells for $185 plus S&H.
