The Bale handler is intended to be used for
lifting and transporting bales together with
AVANT loader.
Pick up the bale to be transported and set
the Bale handler to transport position by
lifting it slightly off the ground and tilting it
slightly up with the loader, as shown in the
adjacent figure.
The bale can then be transported with the
loader and left to a suitable place.
Always drive slowly while operating the Bale handler. Adjust the drive speed according to the
operating conditions and the ground.
If your loader is equipped with a telescopic boom, you can utilize it for a better visibility to the working
area.
