How does a bale handler work?
A bale handler is a specialized machine designed to lift, move, and stack bales of materials such as hay, straw, or cotton efficiently and safely. It typically operates using hydraulic systems that provide the necessary power to grab and lift bales. The handler features adjustable forks or clamps that securely grasp the bale, allowing it to be lifted from the ground or a transport vehicle. Once lifted, the bale can be moved to the desired location, whether that’s stacking in a storage area, loading onto a trailer, or positioning for processing. Advanced bale handlers may include features like automatic bale detection, adjustable lifting heights, and precise control mechanisms to enhance productivity and reduce manual handling effort.
How do you load hay bales?
To load hay bales, follow these steps:
Prepare the equipment: Use a tractor with a front loader or a skid steer with bale forks for round bales. For square bales, use a flatbed trailer and a hay bale elevator if available.
Position the trailer: Park your trailer close to the bales for easy loading.
Lift the bales: Insert the forks into the bale or grab it with a hay grapple, lift it securely, and move it to the trailer.
Stack the bales: Place the bales tightly together on the trailer, stacking them in layers to maximize space.
Secure the load: Use strong straps or netting to tie down the bales and ensure they don’t shift during transport.
