The Bale Hand can handle large round bales from 36”
to 80” in diameter and weighing up to 2,200 pounds.
Bales can be handled with care from nearly any direc-
tion and can be stacked on the ends or sides. Most han-
dling of plastic wrapped bales is on their ends where the
plastic is 18 to 30 layers thick. Wrapped bales can be
grabbed on their diameters with some care.
NOTE: The standard Bale Hand will require a tractor of at
least 40-50 hp in size. The rotating Bale Hand (“R” Series)
will require a tractor of 60-80 hp in size. The loader or skid
steer unit also needs to have sufficient lift capacity to han-
dle the bale and the weight of the Bale Hand.
Both the standard Bale Hand and the “R” Series, will
gently handle large round wrapped/unwrapped bales up
to 2,200 lbs. It features smooth curved clamping arms to
prevent puncturing wrapped bales, yet securely clamping
them during transport.
The “R” Series is offered in Euro/Global mount, JD
400/500 Series mount, Skid Steer mount and blank to
accept our bolt on brackets.
Power unit needs to be
equipped with two auxiliary valves or a solenoid kit is
required. The power unit needs to have sufficient lifting
capacity to handle the bale, make sure the power unit is
properly counter-balanced with weight prior to moving
bales.
■ ■
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from being
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in
“locked up” position at all times.
■ ■
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a
power unit. Make sure the rear of the tractor is
properly counter-balanced with weights. Always
drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable
unit could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing
injury or death.
Be sure your tractor and loader, or skid steer are
in good condition. Read all the safety precautions
and make sure all equipment operators are familiar
with the safety rules of operation.
