ASSEMBLY
——————————————————
This unit is shipped partially assembled. Carefully follow
instructions for final assembly.
Before attempting assembly check the following items.
Having all the needed parts and equipment readily at
hand will speed up your assembly task and will make the
job as safe as possible.
• Check for fasteners and pins that were shipped with
the bale hand. All hardware coming from the factory
has been installed in the location where it will be used.
If a part or fastener is temporarily removed for assem-
bly reasons, remember where it goes. Keep the parts
separated.
• Have a fork lift or loader along with chains and safety
stands that are sized for the job ready for the assem-
bly task.
• Have a minimum of 2 people at hand during assembly.
• Check to see that all nuts are tightened.
Remove the bucket from your front end loader or skid
steer. Check your loader to make sure it is in good work-
ing order. Check all frame mounting bolts to make sure
they are tight.
Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should have
a cross-tie installed for stability.
Refer to the “exploded view” of the Bale Hands on pages
23 and 25 of this manual.
ASSEMBLY OF LIFT BRACKETS –
UBH-2072 & UBH-2072R ONLY
Assemble the two lift brackets on the main frame (Ref.
#1 – page 23) with the
5
/
8
” x 3” I.D. U-bolts. Leave the U-
bolts loose.
NOTE: The pin-on lift channel brackets are supplied with
1” diameter pins to fit your loader. If your loader requires
1
1
/
8
” pins, it will be necessary for the hole diameter in the
channel brackets to be drilled out to 1
5
/
32
” (1.156”) and ask
your dealer to order 1
1
/
8
” diameter pins. The 1
1
/
8
” pins are
part #830318. Be sure to indicate if two or four 1
1
/
8
” pins
are required.
If your loader requires 1 1 /
4
” diameter pins, please ask
your dealer to order adapter bushings (part #830319). Be
sure to indicate how many adapter bushings are required.
NOTE: The Ford Model 7109, 7209, 7210 and 7410
Loaders require special mounting brackets instead of the
standard lift channels supplied. Order #830330 for these
applications.
Connect the above assembly to the loader arms using
the bottom hole in the channel and attach the upper con-
trol cylinder to the top hole in the lift channels. Center the
main frame (side to side) with your loader arms and
tighten the four (4) 5 /
8
” x 3” U-Bolts.
The lower hole positions in the lift channels can be used
to obtain more angle movement. However, if the frame
becomes too parallel with the loader lift arms, the loader
may not have enough power (mechanical advantage) to
bring the frame back.
NOTE: Generally, it is not recommended to have the tilt
cylinders located any closer than 8-10 inches to the main
loader lift arms. Check the spacing of mounting pins on
your loader bucket and use this as a guide.
If tilt cylinders are located too close to the loader arms,
they may go “over center” when fully extended. If this hap-
pens, damage may occur to the cylinders and/or mount-
ing brackets.
If your tractor loader has a bucket Quick Attach feature,
check with your dealer on the availability of adapter
brackets for your brand and model loader.
NOTE: The Bale Hand Models SSBH-2072, SSBH-
2072R, JDBH-2072R, and GLBH-2072R have special
quick-attach brackets on the frame. No lift channel
brackets are required.
