Bolt-On Bars Keep Round Bales Centered

Bolt-On Bars Keep Round Bales Centered HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 20-6-23 "My new bolt-on bars for round bale feeders keep the bale centered to greatly reduce waste," says Paul Timson, Caledonia, Ontario. The U-shaped centering bars are made from 1 1/4 in. sq. steel tubing and are sized to fit inside 8-ft. dia. bale feeders. They attach to every other bar using U-bolts. No drilling is required. "They keep cows from dropping hay outside the feeder," says Timson. "They work well with both 4 by 5 and 5 by 6-ft. bales. A length of welded-on flat plate keeps cows from getting their heads stuck inside the bars. We can custom build bars to fit any feeder." A set of six bars to fit a bale feeder with 1 1/4-in. sq. slanted bars sells for $74.95 (Canadian).
