Fifth Wheel Round Bale Hauler HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 19-4-37 Our new fifth wheel round bale hauler with its own self-contained engine and hydraulic system lets one person load and unload up to 17 bales individually or in stacks right from the cab and transport them at high-way speeds. It's 34 ft. long and equipped with a 16 hp Briggs & Stratton V-twin, electric-start gas engine and a hydraulic pump in front. Hydraulic cylinders are used to raise or lower the chain-driven trailer bed and also to operate the loading arm. The loading arm clamps bales from both sides and holds them until they're placed on the bed.
It lets one person load and unload bales fast and works much faster than a tractor and front-end loader. You can unload an entire load of bales in the time it would take to unload one bale with a front-end loader. Because of the loading arm's squeezing action, it can handle soft core bales, cone-shaped bales, and bales with bad or broken twine without any problem. I recommend using a heavy-duty 3/4 ton or bigger 4-WD pickup to pull the bale hauler.
Sells for $23,400. Also available is a 34-ft. drawbar model for tractors that sells for $20,255. (Larry Rolfson, Richardton Mfg. Co., Box 290, Richardton, N. Dak. 58652 (oh 701 974-3356)
