Machine Converts Large Bales To Small
 ✖  |
“Farmers want to make hay when the sun shines in the summertime,” says a Black Rock Repair spokesman. “They need to get in the field and bale quickly when they’re able. Our Bale Converter lets them break their big bales into small 40-lb. bales later when they have time.”
The unit consists of a large hopper, hydraulic pickup, and a chain-driven conveyor where up to four large square bales can be set. A tractor and small baler are positioned at the exit point of the hopper and power both the converter and the baler.
Large square bales are slowly fed from the adjustable speed conveyor into pickup tines which rake the face of the bales apart. Loose material then moves into the hopper to fall into an auger feeding the small baler.
Available options include an electric eye system on the hopper to start and stop the chain conveyor when it fills or the bales move too fast, a torsion axle for extended towing, and an in-floor auger clean up system to continuously collect and feed generated chaff into the baler.
Depending on the size and density of the large bales, the Bale Converter can handle about 10,000 lbs. of hay per hour on average.
The units are manufactured in Kirkwood, Penn., with the base model selling for $45,500 plus options and S&H.
