McIntosh Trailing Bale Feeder 2 Bale Feeder

The Double Bale Feeder features two box sections running through the cradle for greater strength and a lower centre of gravity rather than having the feeder on top of the chassis runners. With a lower centre of gravity, the tyres can be kept in closer towards the centre of the Bale Feeder and also with the wider cradle there is a much smaller chance of running over the product especially when there is a strong wind and in muddy conditions.
With 3 axle positions, a low centre of gravity and plenty of ground clearance, our stability is second to none. With the tyres in the above narrow position, the Bale Feeder is still very stable with this 53 hay bale
The double ram loading system lowers the bale gently all the way to the cradle without sudden drops which can damage feed out bars
The large lifting arm makes the whole lifting frame very strong when travelling with a bale
Standard tyres are 11.5 x 15.3, 50mm taller than the common 10.5 x 15.3 used on most double bale feeders. The taller tyre tows better over rougher ground than the smaller tyre
With slow moving shafts and no need for protective covers, bronze bushes which arent affected by mud and silage have proven the obvious choice for our Bale Feeders. Proven over 30 years of use, they are strong, simple and will give a longer life than bearings
3 12,000lb zinc-plated roller chain, 24,000lb combined (strongest available) is fully guided to prevent it from jumping off
With a capacity of 3000 PSI, our large motor will last a lot longer than a smaller one that is only rated to around 1800 PSI. The 1 shaft and large keyway is much stronger than a smaller motor and handles direction change with ease
Large 8 tooth sprocket improves the life and drive of the chain compared to a 6-tooth sprocket
