Bale Fork Mounts On Pickup Or Tractor

Bale Fork Mounts On Pickup Or Tractor HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Accessories 19-1-11 "After seeing a write-up in one of your re-cent issues about a pull-type bale trailer made by Ed Hammond, Pittsburg, Texas, (Vol. 18, No.5) I decided to send you this photo of my bale fork. It can be pulled be-hind a pickup or you can mount it on a tractor 3-pt.," says Wayne Killinger, Wolbach, Neb. "I've been making them for eight years. Farmers who've used them say they're the best single bale mover they've ever seen." The unit is equipped with a pair of bale forks attached to a lift arm and has a 2-in. dia. ball hitch. The standard model comes with a hand-cranked winch that's used to pull the bale onto the trailer. The hydraulic model uses a hydraulic cylinder attached to the lift arm (you pull a pin out of a pulley on the lift arm to remove the cable). The lift arm can also be operated by the vehicle's 12-volt system. By removing two bolts you can remove the support frame for the forks and 3-pt. mount them on a tractor. The hand winch model sells for $775, the 12-volt model for $1,075, and the hydraulic model for $1,050 with one 8-ft. hose and one 6-ft. hose and mounting bracket.
