3-Pt Mounted Big Bale Slicer
It consists of two guillotine-like steel blades mounted in a heavy-duty frame. One blade is fixed, the other is powered by twin rams running down two side rails. Three mounting legs support the slicer and position it for attachment to a tractor 3 pt. hitch.
To split bales up to 4 ft. by 4 ft., the slicer is raised over a bale lying on the ground. It's lowered to desired cutting height, then hydraulics drive the powered blade into the fixed blade. Bales are quickly and cleanly sliced for easy feeding.
Suitable for silage, hay or straw bales, plastic wrapping or twine may be left in place or removed before slicing.
Bales can be sliced in two, three or four sections simply by positioning the blades.
