3 Point Hitch Bale Unroller for 4' wide Bales up to 5' tall, 1500 lbs. capacity, 2 1/2" x 8" Hydraulic Cylinder
Hi. I'm Ted. We're here with another attachment made by Everything
Attachments, here in our house. This is a bale unroller, this will
do a 4 foot wide up to 5 foot tall bales for your round bales. Just as much as you
need them during the winter when the grass isn't growing, we're selling a
lot of them because of the drought, and the grass just isn't growing during
the summer. Either way, whether you need it during the summer or the
winter, we've got them. We've sold them from a couple other manufacturers,
and we just can't seem to get them when we need them, so we've started
making them ourselves.
Ours are going to come with the cylinder and the hoses and couplers ready
to go to work with your tractor. These are 5-foot hoses on each side, comes
with the ½-inch agriculture-style coupler on them, so that should be
universal to almost every tractor. This will work on a Category 1 or
Category 2 tractor. On these spears here, we've angled the spears to make
them easy to penetrate the bale. We've added the 4 little pointed hooks
here to keep the bale intact, and where you can put the pressure to it,
stick them in, and it's going to let it roll evenly. Also, it's greasable
right here, for your spindle.
In here, we reinforced the main bushing that's in the end of this. When
you've got a heavy 1,500-pound bale on the end of this and you're going
through the field with your terraces and so forth, or up the road, there's
a lot of force created down on these bars here, so we've reinforced this
with 2-3/8ths plates that are wrapped around the bushing, that goes from
top to bottom on the inside of this, that's 4 inches in length. Then it has
1¼ inch pin that goes down through here to give it more strength. All this
box is made of ½-inch steel and welded together to give it all the strength
it can so you're not bending any of this.
As you can see, the part that goes onto your tractor, this is your Category
2 pin, which is 1-1/8th inch. If you were putting this on a Category 1
tractor doing smaller bales, you would remove this pin here and use this
inside pin, which is your standard 7/8ths pin for a Category 1. For the top
link, you've got 3 different holes; these are all Category 2 holes. You
could use a Category 1 pin in it if you need to. Depending on where you put
your top link for your particular tractor and for what you're doing, from
the top to the bottom is going to determine how much that it angles as you
lift it. You can set it where it'll lift almost square, or you can set it
to where it's going to lift higher, if you're having to get them off a
small [inaudible: 03:03] truck or something like that.
If you can kind of see right here, what makes this stronger than any of the
other bale movers that I know of, and it's expensive to do, but this is 2-
inch x 4-inch pieces of steel tubing, which is ¼-inch thick, and then it's
welded together kind of like a laminated beam. It's twice as expensive to
build this way, but it's twice as strong. Cylinder comes with it, hoses come with it. It's ready to go when you get
it. It weighs 350 pounds, so it will have to come motor carrier. Just
remember Everything Attachments does free freight for 1,000 miles from
Newton, North Carolina, on all their attachments. We also have a heavier bale unroller to handle a 5 or 6-foot wide bale. If you've got any questions about sizing it or for your tractor, just give
us a call or email at Everything Attachments. We'll be happy to help you.
